What does it mean when a cleaning verification (CV) is passed?

• A. The cleaning failed
• B. The cleaning is complete
• C. The CV card is invalid
• D. The area is recontaminated

Answer: (B)

Cleaning verification checks that cleaning after work meets the required cleanliness standards for lead dust. When it passes, it means the area has met the predefined clearance criteria, so the cleaning is considered complete and the space can be treated as clean under the plan. A passed CV is documented on the CV card, confirming the area is acceptable for re-entry or next steps. If the verification didn’t pass, it would indicate residues still exceed the allowed limits, requiring additional cleaning and another round of testing. The other options describe outcomes you’d see with a failure, an invalid document, or recontamination, which aren’t indicated by a successful pass.
