Questions
For EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) compliance, certified renovators must use EPA-recognized test kits or XRF analyzers. Note: Ownership of XRF technology often requires a State Radioactive Materials License, making them primarily for professional inspectors, not homeowners.
With their ease of use and low cost, we have helped contractors detect the presence of lead in paint. It happens almost instantly!
XRF analyzer guns are great ways to live up to the rules. Get your handheld X-ray spectrometer machine from our website.
