1.1 This practice combines visual assessment for the presence of deteriorated paint, settled dust, painted debris, and paint chips with environmental sampling of settled dust to report the leaded-dust hazard level at the time of sample collection, in and around single-family residential dwellings or child-occupied facilities following abatement and other lead-hazard reduction activities.
1.2 This practice also addresses clearance examinations that may include soil sampling, for example when soil abatement has been performed.
1.3 This practice provides a procedure for determining whether regulatory requirements for dust-lead levels and soil-lead levels have been met, and, consequently whether a work area, or a portion of a work area, passes or fails a clearance examination.
Note 1 – This practice is consistent with that portion of “clearance” described in 40 CFR Part 745 for abatement, and in 24 CFR 35 for lead-hazard reduction activities other than abatement.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
