List of Approved Alpha Track Manufacturer and Labs:
Alpha track detectors use a small piece of special plastic or film inside a container to provide an average of radon levels over the full duration of the testing period. The package is opened to start the test and when the test is completed it is sent to the laboratory for analysis. The radon exposure duration can be from 10 days to 12 months. Verify with the manufacturer the suggested duration for each device.
The detectors need to be analyzed by the lab which provides them to you.

List of Approved Electret Ion detectors
Electret Ion Chambers consist of a special plastic canister (ion chamber) containing an electrostatically charged disk detector (electret). This type of detector may be deployed for 48 hrs to 12 months.
These devices can be analyzed by the professionals in their offices, but they must be an approved laboratory. See below for the list of approved analytical labs.

List of Approved Continuous Radon Monitor Manufacturers:
Continuous Radon Monitor(CRM) records real-time continuous measurements of radon gas over a series of minutes and reports the results, generally in hourly increments. These devices will have methods for storing, displaying, and retrieving the data logged by the device and may also have the ability to measure and track additional environmental parameters above and beyond the radon concentration such as temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity, and they often have onboard motion sensors.
These professional grade devices need to be annually calibrated by the manufacturer.
These are different from the consumer grade digital radon monitors.
C-NRPP does not provide a list of consumer grade digital radon monitors, but we do conduct a performance comparison, you can find out published research here.
