Steps
Check iicrc.org/s100 and the IICRC publications store for the currently sold/referenced edition
Record that the current edition identified is ANSI/IICRC S100-2021, superseding the 2011 (5th) and 2002 (4th) editions
Note that IICRC has reportedly begun a new consensus-body revision cycle for S100, so the 2021 edition should be reconfirmed as current at the time of use rather than assumed indefinitely stable
Confirm the standard must be purchased/subscribed through IICRC's publications platform (publications.iicrc.org) rather than assuming free full-text access
Cross-check that any cleaning contractor's referenced 'IICRC S100 compliance' claim specifies the 2021 edition specifically, not an older superseded one
Known gotchas
Do not assume the 2011 5th edition still marketed on some sites is current — the 2021 ANSI/IICRC edition has superseded it
IICRC standards are paywalled/subscription-based, not freely downloadable in full text
A revision cycle is reportedly underway; re-verify 'current edition' status close to time of use rather than relying on this snapshot indefinitely
