Long Term Radon Measurement for Apartments
A long term measurement that is reliable and eligible for annual average level. The measurement gives you an accredited answer to what radon levels are present in the apartment. It is also the method recommended by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority.
- The measurement must last for at least 60 days during the so called "heating season", 1/10 - 30/4. Remember, in order to obtain an annual average, the measurement must not take place outside the heating season.
- A long-term measurement should be carried out with at least one apartment per floor and always at least two detectors per apartment.
- They should be placed in furnished rooms (e.g. bedroom, living room).
- Wet rooms such as toilets or laundry rooms do not count as living rooms
The package contains 2 detectors which is required to get the annual average. See "This is how it works" to calculate how many flats you need to measure.

A few days after you order the detectors from us they will arrive by mail. Read the included instructions. When you open the bag in which the detector comes in, the measurement starts. You can register the detectors on our customer portal, where you enter where the detector is located and when the bag was opened.
After minimum 60 days you send the detector back to us. You do not need to pack the detectors in any special way, they are very durable. Enter the customer portal again and enter the end date of the measurement. We analyze the detector and send you an email with the report - you have the answer within two working days after they arrive at the lab.
- The measurement must be carried out on all floors with living quarters. If the apartment consists of one floor, two radon detectors are placed in two different living spaces. If the dwelling consists of two or more floors, a radon detector is placed on each floor.
- The radon detectors should be placed in living quarters, e.g. bedroom, living room or recreation room. Wet areas such as bathrooms and laundry rooms, storerooms and unfurnished basements are not classified as living quarters and are therefore not included in the annual average value.
- Read and follow the measurement instructions included with the radon detectors.
