According to the IICRC S520, 2015, Standard for Professional Mold Remediation

"12.1.1.1 Containments During mold remediation projects, containments generally are separated into three basic types: source containment; local (“mini”) containment; and full-scale containment. Expanding containments may be necessary when additional mold contamination is discovered. 12.1.1.2 Source Containment Source containment may be used:  Used to address relatively small or limited areas of mold growth, or it can be used in combination with other engineering controls to reduce the amount of spore release and dust generation;  alone when mold growth is limited to small visible controllable areas where hidden mold growth is not anticipated; and  within areas of more extensive mold growth in conjunction with other forms of containment. When there are small or limited areas of mold growth, and hidden mold growth is suspected, a more extensive containment should be used."  See more in the following link:IICRC S520
