Attention: EPA Recognized Test Kits

EPA has posted its preliminary results of the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) of Lead Test Kits. Based on the preliminary ETV results, no new kits meet both the false negative and false positive criteria.  Therefore, pursuant to the RRP regulation, EPA will continue to recognize the LeadCheck® test kit and the State of Massachusetts lead test kit.  After the final ETV report for Test Kit A is completed, the Agency anticipates that this test kit will also be recognized prior to September 1, 2010, as meeting the false negative criterion.

It is important to note that the LeadCheck test kit may give you false positive results because it will also react in a similar manner to other metals in paint.  LeadCheck results are not all conclusive for lead.  When reporting positive results to your clients, general language such as “may contain lead or other metals in the paint” is recommended.  Your client is required to provide the report of your results to any potential buyers or tenants and the presence of lead-based paint can affect property values.

 It is also important to remember that the LeadCheck test kits should not be used on drywall or plaster.
