◉ When surfaces do not allow for use of an XRF, we should take
paint chips and send them to labs accredited by: Answer: The
National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP)
◉ The degree of agreement of repeated measurements when using
an instrument, such as, an XRF is called: Answer: Precision
◉ Inspectors should check XRF's calibration at a minimum: Answer:
At the beginning of each inspection, every four hours during an
inspection, and at the end of each inspection.
