Comprehensive Guide to ASTM D4773 Determination of Lead in Paint and Dust Testing Services by Eurolab

The determination of lead in paint and dust is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals, particularly children, who are exposed to these substances. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has developed Standard D4773, which provides a method for determining the amount of lead present in paint and dust samples.

International and National Standards

The international standards governing the determination of lead in paint and dust include:

  • ISO 11885:2007, Water quality - Determination of dissolved anions by ion chromatography

  • EN 14039:2011, Water quality - Determination of lead in water by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) TS EN 14039:2013

    • National standards may vary depending on the country. For example:

  • In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a maximum allowable level of 1 μg/m2 for lead in paint.

  • In Europe, the European Unions (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive sets a limit of 0.1 for lead content in electrical and electronic equipment.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of standards is a collaborative effort between standard development organizations, such as:

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • These organizations work together to develop and maintain standards that ensure consistency and reliability in testing.

    Evolution and Update of Standards

    Standards are continuously updated to reflect advances in technology, new scientific knowledge, and changing regulatory requirements. For example:

  • ASTM D4773 was last revised in 2018.

  • ISO 11885 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 1996.

    • Standard Numbers and Scope

    Some relevant standard numbers and their scope are listed below:

    Industry-Specific Standards

    Standards may vary depending on the industry or sector. For example:

  • In the construction industry, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has developed Standard C1132, which provides a method for determining lead in paint.

  • In the electrical and electronic equipment industry, the EUs RoHS Directive sets limits for lead content.

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with standards is mandatory in various industries. For example:

  • In the United States, the EPA requires manufacturers to comply with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations.

  • In Europe, the EUs Machinery Directive requires manufacturers to ensure that their products meet certain safety and performance requirements.

    • The determination of lead in paint and dust is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals. This testing service is required for various industries and sectors, including:
