Scope Summary and Introduction

This standard of practice specifies procedures and minimum requirements when measuring radon concentrations in shared structures, or portions of shared structures, used for residential, non-residential or mixed use purposes1 to determine if radon mitigation is necessary to protect current and future occupants. These protocols address low-rise and high-rise structures and procedures for testing whole buildings but also for testing only one or several individual rooms or dwellings within a shared building.
