Finding a Certified Radon Service Professional  
   

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discontinued it's radon professional proficiency program in 1998. At that time, standards were developed for other non-Federal radon proficiency programs that list or certify radon measurement, mitigation service providers and/or analytical service providers (available as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file, MS Word document; and as a WordPerfect document).

The agencies listed below meet the EPA guidelines for developing a certification program. It is highly recommended that anyone that performs radon measurement and/or mitigation work within North Carolina be certified by at least one of these agencies.

 The National Environmental Health Association has a well-earned reputation of credentialing environmental health professionals since 1937. NEHA has over 5,000 members (often local health officials) in virtually all counties within the U.S. This network can assist in efforts of grassroots outreach and enhance the value of radon certifications on local levels. Combined with cooperative efforts from national real estate, home inspection, and building associations the NEHA National Radon Proficiency Program will strengthen and grow.

The National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) seeks to encourage the highest standards of practice and integrity in radon services through the development of independent standards and procedures for certifying, approving and accrediting radon testers, mitigators, measurement devices, chambers and laboratories. It is an independent, nonprofit organization modeled on the American Board of Health Physics and is governed by a Certification Panel representing different facets of the radon industry, home inspectors, state governments, and consumer interests.

The National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) certification program offers independent certification, accreditation, and approval for five categories of radon service providers:

Certification for Radon Measurement Technicians and Specialists
Certification for Radon Remediation
Technicians and Specialists
Accreditation for Radon Laboratories Accreditation for Radon Chambers
