What is a Certified
Lead-in-Construction professional and who requires it?
The federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
Act of 1992, also known as Title X, requires individuals to pass a proficiency exam in
order to become fully certified as a Lead Inspector, Assessor, or Supervisor. Some States
such as California also require Lead Project Designers and Lead Project Monitor also to
pass a certification exam.
If an owner of a building wants to hire you to inspect some housing for lead in order to
get an exemption from the Federal real estate disclosure rule, you must be State-certified
(Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992; Title X, 1018). This Federal
rule also gives home buyers a full 10 days to inspect a home for lead, provided they use a
State-certified inspector. Contact the National Lead Information Clearinghouse at
1-800-424-LEAD for more information about this rule and how it is applied in your state.
Some states, such as California, have their own examinations which are more stringent than
the federal exams. Each of the four lead disciplines have their own examination which is
comprised of 100 multiple choice questions.
