The pandemic has also demonstrated the importance of buying high quality goods that meet standards . There are countless examples where unapproved protective clothing or mouth guards have been purchased . There has even been false labelling . This obviously puts human health at risk . It is easy to draw a parallel to radon measurement . An incorrect radon measurement radon can lead to a person living in a property with elevated radon levels , completely unaware that he or she is in danger . To ensure a correct measurement , always purchase a radon detector from a laboratory that is accredited according to ISO 17025 . This means that the measurement might be a bit more expensive ( compared to using non-accredited radon laboratories ), but you are guaranteed an accurate and reliable result . Paying for a cheap measurement from a non-accredited laboratory is literally throwing money away .
