ASTM E1775-96 - 10.10.2001
 
1. Scope

1.1 This standard provides guidelines for determining the performance of field-portable quantitative lead analysis instruments.

1.2 This guide applies to field-portable electroanalytical and spectrophotometric (including reflectance and colorimetric) analyzers.

1.3 Sample matrices of concern herein include paint, dust, soil, and airborne particulate.

1.4 This guide addresses the desired performance characteristics of field-based sample extraction procedures for lead, as well as on-site extraction followed by field-portable analysis.

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.
