More about the Lead Renovator, Repair, and Painting Rule:
Effective April 22, 2010, anyone who performs renovations, repairs, or painting in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities must be EPA Lead Safe Certified. Individuals and firms that are not certified could face fines of up to $41,056 per day.
The RRP law applies if your project disturbs:
More than 6 square feet of interior painted surface AND/OR
More than 20 square feet of the exterior painted surface
Companies performing this type of work must be registered with the EPA or an EPA-authorized state, and at least one person on the actual job site must be a Certified Renovator, which is achieved by taking the 8-hour Lead Renovator Initial Certification Course. Renewal of this training course is required every 5 years by the EPA. Individuals certified in an EPA-authorized state may be required to renew earlier than every 5 years, so check with your state Lead Based Paint regulation program for details.
Frequent Questions:
What if I can't find my previous training certificate?
First, if you remember who your previous training provider was, contact them for a copy of the certificate. If you don't remember, you can try calling the EPA Lead Hotline at 1-800-424-5323 for a list of training providers in your area to call to try to determine which was your trainer.
What are the details of the final exam?
The Final Certification exam is 25 questions, multiple choice. A passing score is 72% or higher. If a student fails the exam, they can review the course material before attempting the exam a second time. Only two attempts are permitted per participant.
What if I fail the final exam twice?
If both permitted attempts of the final exam result in a failing score, the participant must re-take the course before additional attempts are permitted. A $50 retake fee will be required to reset your course.
Hands-on vs. Online Refresher Training Options
(Source: EPA Final Ruling 02-17-2016)
The EPA will allow renovators to take a refresher course without hands-on training once every other certification. Once a renovator takes the refresher course online without the hands-on training, their next refresher training must include hands-on training.
The certification from the refresher course without hands-on training will last for 3years. Taking the course without hands-on training is optional but once a renovator takes the course, their next refresher course must include hands-on training and be taken within 3years of their previous certification.

The RRP Project Binder & Tutorial is an optional record-keeping tool that is perfect for

project retain a Project Binder & Tutorial on-site for the duration of the project. The
Project Binder is to be retained after the completion of the project for a period of three
years, accessible by the EPA for possible spontaneous audit.
For those working in EPA-authorized states including AL, DE, GA, IA, KS, MA, MS, NC, OK, OR,
RI, UT, WA or WI there may be additional or alternate record-keeping requirements from what
is presented in the RRP Project Binder. Please check with your local and state lead programs
to confirm the work practices and record-keeping required for RRP work in your area.
