DHS 163.42(2)(a)11.11. ‘Analysis by a recognized laboratory.’ Have any collected paint chip, dust or soil samples analyzed by a recognized laboratory to determine any detectable levels of lead that can be quantified numerically.

DHS 163.42(2)(b)(b) Submission of registration form. Following instructions provided by the department, a lead company shall complete and submit the lead-safe investigation registration form to the department within 10 working days of completing the lead-safe investigation or receiving any laboratory results, whichever is later. The registration form shall be submitted using an electronic format provided by the department or an alternative method approved by the department.

DHS 163.42(2)(c)(c) Verification of qualification and registration. The lead company shall follow the instructions provided by the department to issue the certificate of lead-safe status to the property owner within 10 days after receiving verification of qualification and registration from the department.

(1), a certificate of lead-safe status shall be given an expiration date based on the component that is most likely to cause or become a lead-based paint hazard before any other component. A component that is proven to be lead-free shall be excluded from consideration. A component that has been enclosed or encapsulated according to documented methodologies shall be excluded from consideration under subds. 1. to 5. To determine the expiration date, select the shortest duration under subds. 2. to 7. based only on the components subject to the lead-safe investigation under sub. (2) (a) 2.

DHS 163.42(2)(e)2.2. ‘Nine months.’ The presence of paint on an impact or friction surface of a window well or trough, window channel, or window sash shall result in a certificate of lead-safe status being issued for no more than 9 months when paint is not proven to be lead-free and the painted surface is not enclosed by a durable material that protects the paint from impact and abrasion.

DHS 163.42 NoteNote: The 9-month certificate is intended to allow recognition of temporary measures, such as removing dust-lead and debris created by impact and friction, while more permanent lead hazard reduction continues. Under sub. (4), no more than 2 applications for a 9-month certificate may be submitted unless the property owner provides the department with a reason why an additional 9-month certificate is necessary.

DHS 163.42(2)(e)3.3. ‘One year.’ The presence of any of the following conditions shall result in a certificate of lead-safe status being issued for no more than one year unless the paint is proven to be lead-free:
