What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Amerispec Inspection Services FDD, all inspections must be conducted by a qualified inspector who meets the standards prescribed by the company or as required by local, state, or federal law. The FDD states that inspectors must be certified and maintain certification under any program established or endorsed by Amerispec Inspection Services. However, in the absence of any company-endorsed certification program, inspectors must complete the inspector training program provided by Amerispec Inspection Services or meet other standards set by the company.
This means that while specific certifications may not always be mandatory, inspectors must meet certain qualifications, either through company-provided training or other standards set by Amerispec Inspection Services. The company retains the right to modify these requirements, including adding to the services offered by the franchised business. Franchisees must comply with all applicable rules, regulations, and directives, including those related to licensing, registration, or certification.
Amerispec Inspection Services also has the right to modify or change policies, procedures, and directives, including adding to the services offered by the franchised business.

Therefore, franchisees should stay informed about any changes to certification requirements and ensure their inspectors meet the necessary qualifications to maintain compliance and provide quality service.
