An RRP certification is firm certification under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule). The RRP Rule requires firms that perform renovation, repair, and painting projects disturbing lead-based paint in homes, child-care facilities, and preschools built before 1978 to be certified by the EPA (or an EPA-authorized state), to use certified renovators trained by EPA-approved providers, and to follow lead-safe work practices. It is important to note that RRP certification is not a license for lead abatement, removal, encapsulation, or enclosure — those are separate disciplines. Först Consulting Group can assess whether a contractor’s work on a pre-1978 property required RRP-certified practices and whether those practices were followed.
