Where a certified renovator uses an EPA-recognized lead test kit or performs paint chip sampling to determine that a component is free of lead-based paint, or a lead-based paint free determination is made by a certified inspector or risk assessor, firms performing renovations on the same components may rely on these results as long as the records are still available.  Lead-based paint free determinations by a certified inspector or risk assessor are valid for both the Real Estate Notification and Disclosure Rule and the RRP Rule and they do not expire.
