QUALITY ASSURANCE GUIDANCE

Radon Quality Assurance Program Guidance (.pdf file) prepared by the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety describes the areas and information needed by the Department's Radon Program staff to evaluate an applicant's Quality Assurance Program for a Professional Mitigation License.

Prior to submitting an application, for a Measurement or Mitigation Professional License, the applicant should carefully study the regulations outlined in the RILA and Adopted Rule and submit all applicable information and documentation required. The Radon Program staff will request additional information when necessary to ensure that the applicant has established an adequate Quality Assurance Program. Requests for additional information will delay final action regarding the application and may be reduced or avoided by a thorough study of the regulations and the Radon Quality Assurance Program Guidance prior to filing the application.

The Radon Quality Assurance Program Guidance (.pdf file) is intended only for general guidance in the preparation of a Quality Assurance Program description. These instructions describe the elements that a Quality Assurance program should encompass, but not how a specific organization implements these elements. The applicant must assure that his/her Quality Assurance Program correctly and adequately implements the particular objectives, products and processes, and specific work practices of their organization.
