Radon CRMs in Flordia

Hi everyone, I saw a message in a Facebook Home Inspectors group that said Florida only accepted reports from two Radon CRM models, but did not specify which ones and hasn’t responded to my request to share which ones those are.

I am having difficulty verifying that statement.

I am putting together the QA plan for our company and we want to expand into Florida eventually, so we would like to start off using the monitors that Florida accepts reports from.

Can anyone here tell me if that is true, and if it is, which monitors those are?
Thank you

The department will accept only radon measurements performed with radon devices meeting national proficiency requirements established by the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) and the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB). Reporting to customers must meet the criteria established by the department.

I haven’t been involved with this for years but when I was, that was not true. You have to be licensed in Florida see the link Larry posted.

Florida makes it nearly impossible for the average home inspector to do Radon. Its really stupid… I dont know why FL makes it so hard to get qualified for termite, mold, radon, etc…

From the link that Larry posted:
