The Maine Radon Registration
Act (22 MRSA Section 774 et. seq.) requires
each company or individual that provides an air or water radon service
in Maine to be registered with the Maine Dept. of Health & Human
Services prior to providing any radon service in Maine. Radon
services include but are not limited to placing
radon test kits, collecting radon in water samples,
analysis of radon air or radon water
test kits, radon air or radon water
mitigation, and consultation on radon in air or radon in water.
To become
a Maine-registered radon service provider, it is necessary to meet minimum
training requirements and agree to abide by statutory and regulatory
requirements including but not limited to
adherence to minimum performance standards, submission of a quality
assurance plan, monthly reporting, obtaining continuing education, and
annual or biennial renewal.
The names of companies that are
in compliance with the Maine Radon Registration Act are on lists at our website www.maineradiationcontrol.org, follow the link to the Radon section.
Any company or individual providing radon services in
Maine without being registered as required is in
violation of the Maine Radon Registration Act
and is also in violation of the Maine Unfair Trades Practices Act.
