Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PT-KIT-24-1.0 accepted for EPA RRP Rule compliance?
Yes — the PT-KIT-24-1.0 is EPA recognized under 40 CFR 745.88, making it suitable for use under the EPA Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule for pre-renovation lead paint testing in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. It also meets OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 requirements. Always verify current EPA recognition status for your specific compliance program before use.
How does the PT-KIT-24-1.0 differ from the PTKIT-007?
Both kits use the same D-Lead® colorimetric test method and deliver results in 30 seconds. The primary difference is quantity: the PTKIT-007 contains 7 tests and is suited for smaller projects or occasional use, while the PT-KIT-24-1.0 contains 24 tests and is more cost-effective for contractors and inspectors conducting higher-volume lead paint assessments.
How do I read the test results?
Apply the test solution to the exposed paint layers and wait 30 seconds. A pink or red color change indicates lead is present at or above 1.0 mg/cm². No color change indicates lead was not detected at the kit's detection threshold. Results are read visually on-site — no instruments or lab analysis required. If results are inconclusive, retest with a new swab or consider XRF or lab confirmation.
What is the shelf life and storage requirement for this kit?
The PT-KIT-24-1.0 has a shelf life of 2 years from the manufacture date. Store at room temperature (59–86°F / 15–30°C) in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Wear gloves when handling test swabs and dispose of used swabs according to local chemical waste regulations.
