Application Documents & Overview Resources for the RRP Rule
Wisconsin is one of the twelve states that administers its own Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule program. It does so from within its Department of Health Services (DHS). Following are some resources to help Wisconsin firms follow the RRP rule.
Finished with training? This application must be filled out to complete the process in becoming a Certified Firm. Every firm who disturbs painted surfaces in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities must be registered with the Department of Health Services (DHS) in WI.
Fill out the Individual Application for DHS to complete your certification as a Certified Renovator. Until this file has been sent in to DHS you are NOT certified to work on properties built before 1978 if you are disturbing a leaded surface.
