Question: 1 / 560

Which of these is NOT an interior painted component type that should be tested?

Ceilings

Handrails

Mailboxes

The correct choice is mailboxes, as they are not classified as an interior painted component typically found inside a residential or commercial structure. Testing for lead in painted components usually focuses on those surfaces that are part of the building's interior, such as ceilings, walls, and architectural features where human contact is likely. Ceilings and handrails are common interior components that could pose a risk of lead exposure, particularly in older buildings painted with lead-based paints.

Air conditioners, while they may have painted parts, are not primarily considered painted components in the context of lead testing; they are mechanical devices that may have surfaces treated differently from traditional interior surface coatings. Mailboxes, being external fixtures and generally not painted within the interior of residences, fall outside the scope of interior painted component testing.
