Under the EPA's RRP Rule, what credential is required for renovators?

The key requirement is that renovators be certified in lead-safe work practices. The EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule mandates that anyone who conducts renovations in target housing or child-occupied facilities must complete an EPA-approved training course and become a certified renovator. This certification shows they’ve been trained to contain dust, use proper containment, perform safe cleanup, and follow proper disposal procedures to minimize lead exposure. This isn’t about a general contractor license, and it isn’t about everyone needing training—homeowners performing work on their own home may have exemptions, but, for professional renovators, the credential required is the certified renovator certificate.
