NRPP is a national certification program that trains and certifies professionals to properly test for radon gas and install radon reduction systems.

If you're buying a home and want to have it tested for radon, it's important to hire someone who is NRPP certified. That means they’ve completed training, passed exams, and follow strict guidelines for how to place testing equipment, handle results, and make recommendations. In addition, in Indiana, radon testing requires a separate state license in addition to a home inspector license.
