In order to provide a valid test result, the test must be
performed under Closed House Conditions. Maintain
these conditions in the home for 12 hours before the test
and during the exposure period:
• Keep all exterior doors closed except for normal
entry and exit.
• Keep all windows closed.
• Leave radon mitigation systems operating.
• Set HVAC Systems on “Auto” and set window units
to recirculate. Dehumidiers may be operated.
• Do not operate whole house exhaust fans.
• Do not operate wood or coal stoves (unless they are
the primary source of heat).
Unusual weather conditions could alter test results.
Do not perform the test during sustained high winds or
heavy rain. Do not test in extreme indoor conditions of
heat, cold or humidity.
• Do not test in closets or crawl spaces.
• Find a location that is at least 3 feet from any door, wall
or window, 2 feet from the oor or ceiling, and 4 inches
from other objects.
• Do not place test devices directly under blowing air.
• If this test is associated with the purchase or sale of
a home, the EPA Real Estate Simultaneous Testing
Protocol recommends 2 devices to be placed side
by side, 4 inches apart in the selected test area.
Do not open the devices until you are ready to test.
• Check devices for expiration dates. Start your test
before device expires or results will be invalid.
• Remove test devices from the box. Take off the lid from
each test device. Save the box for returning devices to
the Lab.
• Leave each device open for at least 48 hours. Do not
touch or move devices during the test.
• If you leave devices open for less than 48 hours or
more than 96 hours the results will be invalid. You will
need to buy another test kit and repeat the test.
• After 48 hours, securely replace the lid of each device.
• If using the metal charcoal canister, replace the original
lid and wrap the tape provided around the closed
canister where the base meets the lid. Do not cover
device numbers with tape.
It is very important to fully complete the Radon Test
Data Sheet on the other side of this form. Please
write neatly.
