To date, EPA has recognized three lead test kits for use in complying with the negative response criterion of the Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule. They are the 3M LeadCheck^TM kit (for use on ferrous metal, plaster, drywall and wood), the State of Massachusetts kit (for use on drywall and plaster) and the D-Lead® kit (for use on wood, drywall, plaster and ferrous metal). If a substrate material is not listed above (such as stucco or non-ferrous metals) then the EPA-recognized lead test kits cannot be used on that substrate to comply with the testing requirements of the RRP rule.
