Under the RRP rule, Certified Firms must maintain all records for how many years?

• A. 1 year
• B. 2 years
• C. 3 years
• D. 5 years

Answer: (C)

Under the Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule, a Certified Firm must keep records for three years after each renovation project is completed. This retention period covers documentation that shows lead-safe work practices were followed, such as pre-renovation notices, workers’ training certificates, project details, and any clearance testing results. Having a three-year window ensures there’s enough documentation for inspections or enforcement and for review if questions arise about how the job was conducted. Shorter time frames wouldn’t meet EPA requirements, and longer periods aren’t required by the rule.
