What is an EPA Recognized Paint Test Kit?
As part of the RRP rule, the USEPA funded independent third party testing of paint test kits. As a result of this program the D-Lead® Paint Test Kit was recognized by the EPA. See: http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/testkit.htmCurrently, an EPA Recognized Test Kit means it can reliably determine if regulated lead based paint is not present. EPA evaluated the D-Lead® Paint Test Kit for use on four substrates: wood, ferrous metal, plaster and drywall. The D-Lead® Test is the only kit recognized for use on all four substrates and all paint colors.
