A clearance examination must be performed by a certified lead inspector, dust sampling technician, or what certification?

• A. Copy of certified firm
• B. Certified Renovator certification
• C. Recognized test kit results
• D. Certified Lead Inspector license

Answer: (B)

Clearance testing after renovation is about making sure post-work lead dust levels meet the standard, and the person performing it must have certification that covers lead-safe work practices and sampling procedures. A certified renovator is the credential that specifically authorizes individuals to perform lead-safe renovations and related post-work tasks, including post-renovation clearance sampling. This certification shows they know how to collect dust samples properly and interpret the results to confirm the area is below the lead dust standard before people return. While a certified lead inspector or a certified dust sampling technician can perform clearance as well, the option highlighted is the renovator credential—the one designed for those conducting renovations and the associated clearance work. The other options do not describe an individual certification that authorizes this specific clearance activity.
