Yes, a professional, state-licensed lead inspector can test the surfaces in your home or facility. They can collect a paint chip sample and submit it to a laboratory for analysis. Or they may use an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer to measure the concentration of lead in paint at the site. Many stores offer home testing kits for lead-based paint. However, The Consumer Product Safety Commission said that they didn’t find home test kits useful for detecting lead because in their test, they found too many false negatives and a few false positive test results.
