February 18( V9T2 Identification of Low Load Items
I fool wo will need to qniekly Identify paint containers
where revisions to lower load or other hoary natal content
hare been and*. For Instance, the Maeaacbnaetta lav will
ban the telling of, holding tor eale, or the ut ef paint
with store than O.SJf lead effective Jamary 1, 1073* At
present wo cannot caelly Identify whether a product ir
below ,03, 0*6 or 1% lead bated on NVM. We can only Identify
whether the paint le above or below by the lead caution only.
I enggeet we identify containera and cartone by adding a aoffix to the filling code -- for exmpla:
A33 G 1, C232 A2 V 4, C232 A2 N 11, C232
X V 0
loto ,0Jf load
.06 to 0.6% lead 0.5 to 1% lead
We will not need to identify thoae product* that have been
lata than .06% lead for tone tint, each ao Ke-Glo and SIS.
Sone houee paint eolora have been refomulated from greater
than 1)1 lead to between .5 and 1% and will be reformulated to
oithor below 0.3 or below .00, depending upon resnlte*
Honee paint white* have been reformulated from greeter them 1% lead to loot than 0.0% hat may have to ho refonmlated to lota
than .0.
Wo obviously will need to identify carton* and packaged at aona time in tho future. Martin--Snoor haa etarted to ui the *X" onffix for looo than ,06^ load.
In addition, factories ahonld be nslng now labelo on all reformolattd hones paints or we will ho filling low lead materials with a lead caution and a high lead analysis which will create a problem in the future.
