(Authentic swabs like the ones used in the EPA RRP class)
3M™ LeadCheck™ Swabs are EPA-recognized when used by a certified renovator to determine if lead-based paint is present on wood and metal. When lead is detected, 3M™ LeadCheck™ Swabs and/or the surface being tested turns pink or red depending on the concentration of lead present. In the vast majority of test situations, results are obtained in less than 30 seconds. When detecting low levels of lead, or lead chromate-containing pigments, results may take longer to develop. Each kit contains test confirmation cards to verify individual test results.
