Description

Collaborations for Development of Lead Paint Test Kit

Opportunity:

The EPA is interested in finding partners (cooperative research and development partners or licensees) to further develop, manufacture and market test kits or similar technologies for testing lead in paint as part of its proposed renovation, repair, and painting regulation.     It is anticipated that these kits would be used by renovators, repair persons, and painters to identify locations where lead-based paint is present, and reliably determine situations where appropriate preventive actions should be taken.     Because the availability of these test kits is an integral part of proposed regulation, EPA seeks to identify research and development partners or licensees as soon as possible, so that it would be commercially available by 2010.
