PIRC Releases Best Practices for Photo Documentation
The Property Insurance and Restoration Conference (PIRC) recently announced the official adoption and release of the PIRC Best Practices for Photo Documentation, a document put forward by the Definitions Committee as a work product. Both the IICRC and the Restoration Industry Association (RIA) have given their support for this industry document.
The lack of a consistent photo documentation standard was one of the first issues identified by PIRC attendees more than two years ago. Contractors and insurance companies alike need complete photographic documentation for work scope, managing liability, claims settlement, and to protect policy holders. During two open comment periods, numerous stakeholders shared suggestions and comments to improve the draft language prior to adoption.
