History
The C-NRPP was established in 2014 as an agreement between the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) and Health Canada to fulfill the need for a certification program with established guidelines for Canadian radon professionals. Today, C-NRPP continues to work closely with CARST and Health Canada to develop and uphold high standards of practice in the industry, support various organizations involved in radon, and increase awareness of radon effects, detection and mitigation.
