Certifications

Two staff members are fully certified by the Radon Division of the Pennsylvania Dept.of

Environmental Protection, PA DEP, to perform radon measurements as well as to operate

our in-house radon measurement laboratory. TCS Industries Inc laboratory is also certified

by the PA DEP. We routinely perform radon measurements utilizing two different charcoal

based detectors that are now registered with National Radon Safety Board, NRSB. We are

further certified to make and analyze continuous radon measurements, and make radon

grab sample measurements utilizing our Lucas cell system. We have regularly participated

with the US DOE Radon Gas Intercomparison Studies. This function is now performed by

the Bowser-Morner Company.

In 2000, a staff member was certified by the PA DEP to provide initial training for persons

desiring to make commercial radon measurements in the state of Pennsylvania.  This

training program is also worth 16 continuing education credits to individuals who

re-certify.

In 2001, the National Radon Safety Board also listed TCS to provide Initial Radon

Measurement Training and confer 16 continuing education credits. In 2010 New York State

ELAP certification was added.
