Commercial Inspection Standards

Because multiple commercial inspection standards exist, those performing these inspections should take the time to find out whether the inspection is being performed at the request of a lender, and if so, which inspection standards, if any, are specified.

InterNACHI/CCPIA Commercial Inspection Standards of Practice

ASTM E2018-15   Available for purchase from ASTM

Standard and Poor PCA Criteria
