Are your Contractors Lead Safe Certified?

@Steve, I’m not aware of “surface” restrictions for the LeadCheck product… but their website talks about “solid surfaces”. In the RRP class they stressed recognized vs. certified. These are not EPA certified products but that doesn’t take away anything from the viability of the test. And yes, use the test card to verify the test. …

Here’s the scoop on the test kits – LeadCheck® is for use on wood or ferrous surfaces; D-Lead® can be used on wood and ferrous PLUS plaster and drywall surfaces:

I have no affiliation with this next site; it has a list of various items for use by RRP contractors, along with prices:

Thanks Steve. This is good to know. When I took the RRP class there was only one vendor (LeadCheck) which I see is now a 3M company. I’m pretty sure they were not a 3M company a year ago. They had real production issues and getting the product took several weeks.

There is also a soil test kit… they didn’t address this in RRP, but probably do in the remediation class. I haven’t taken that.
