Radon test kits are easy to find at any hardware store, but not every test is created equal. Here's why using an NRPP-certified Radon Measurement Professional makes a real difference in the accuracy - and the credibility - of your results.

What NRPP Certification Means

The National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) certifies measurement professionals under ISO/IEC 17024 through ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) accreditation. Bob holds NRPP certification as a Radon Measurement Professional with Standard and Analytical Services (NRPP ID 116246-RMP) - meaning the testing protocol, device calibration, and reporting all meet a recognized national standard, not just a box-store kit's instructions.

Why Certification Matters for Accuracy

  • Correct device placement - away from drafts, exterior walls, and anything that skews readings

  • Proper closed-house conditions maintained for the full test period

  • Calibrated, professional-grade equipment rather than a consumer kit

  • Results that hold up to scrutiny in a real estate transaction, not just a DIY curiosity reading

When You Need a Certified Test

A certified radon test is standard practice during a home purchase in many transactions, and it's worth repeating every couple of years even if you're not buying or selling - radon levels can change with the season and with changes to the home itself. If you've already had mitigation installed, a certified post-mitigation test is the only way to confirm it's actually working.
