Residential Radon Measurement Providers
Standard Services
Individuals holding the Residential Radon Measurement Service Provider certification have
demonstrated knowledge of U.S. EPA radon measurement protocols for the placement and retrieval
of radon measurement devices. They have also demonstrated knowledge of the proper
interpretation of results obtained in residential settings.
These individuals are authorized to place devices that are analyzed by a
third-party
certified analytical laboratory. Depending upon the location of the laboratory where the devices
are to be analyzed, and specific shipping arrangements that have been established, results are
not generally available immediately upon conclusion of the radon test.
Although this classification is specific for measurements in homes, it does not preclude the
ability to conduct radon measurement surveys in large buildings, or to take samples for radon in
water, provided that the appropriate protocols are followed.
Standard and Analytical Services
Individuals holding a Residential Radon Measurement Service Provider for Standard and Analytical
Services have demonstrated knowledge of US EPA radon measurement protocols for the placement and
retrieval of radon measurement devices. They have also demonstrated knowledge of the proper
interpretation of results obtained in residential settings.
Furthermore, these individuals possess and analyze radon measurement devices. Depending upon
the specific device, this may allow for rapid provision of test results. The testing professional
may also be able to characterize trends in radon concentration and determine unusual conditions
arising from such influences as weather changes or occupant tampering of a test.
To obtain this additional classification, individuals follow strict quality assurance and quality
control guidelines and device specific protocols, and calibrate each instrument annually. The
classification is specific to devices with which an individual has demonstrated proficiency.
Although this classification is specific for measurements in homes, it does not preclude the
ability to conduct radon measurement surveys in large buildings or to take samples for radon in
water, provided that the appropriate protocols are followed.
