1.1This test method is intended as a screening test to determine if the solids in a paint contain more than 0.5 % lead. The test described barely detects the presence of 0.4 % but gives a definite positive result at the 0.5 % level.

Note 1:This test method may be used to detect the presence of lead at concentrations higher or lower than 0.5 % by making appropriate changes in the specimen size and reagent quantities specified.

1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3Paints giving an unexpected positive or questionable result should be analyzed quantitatively for lead, using Test Method D3335.
