Residential Measurement
Provider
Standard Services
Individuals holding the Residential Measurement 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 NEHA 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. Checklist for Consumers
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 Measurement Provider for Standard and
Analytical Services 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.
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.
Lists are generally updated on a weekly basis.
Consumers are advised to check surrounding states and cities when searching for radon
professionals in areas near state borders.
