The Home Radon Alarm Committee of the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) has submitted for public review a set of draft standards for Home Radon Alarm Listing Requirements.
CARST would appreciate public feedback and commentary on these draft Performance Specifications, by which a Listing Agency would review home radon alarm devices as submitted by manufacturers and then post a public list of approved devices.
According to this draft document, "The intent of establishing a Home Radon Alarm Listing is to assist all Canadians in becoming aware if their home is exposing them to radiation caused by radon...the goal is to encourage installation of a radon alarm into all homes across Canada, including new home builds and existing housing stock. The result of having an approved listing would provide homeowners and home builders with knowledge about which devices have met the requirements of these Performance Specifications."
Comment Deadline: May 15, 2014
