UNITED STATES CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION DIRECTORATE FOR LABORATORY SCIENCES DIVISION OF CHEMISTRY 10901 DARNESTOWN RD GAITHERSBURG, MD 20878 Standard Operating Procedure for Determining Lead (Pb) and Its Availability in Children’s Metal Jewelry 2/3/2005 This document provides detailed information on two test methodologies that will be used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s testing laboratory (LSC) in the analysis of children’s metal jewelry. The first methodology is used to determine the total lead content of a jewelry item or component. It will be used as a screening test for purposes of the Interim Enforcement Policy issued by the Office of Compliance on February 3, 2005. The second methodology is an acid extraction test. It is used to quantify the amount of lead that may migrate from jewelry and result in human exposure through ingestion. These methodologies are provided to inform interested parties of the methods used by LSC for assessing the availability of lead for estimating potential human exposure. They are not required to be followed by other laboratories in making such assessments; however, other laboratories should consider using these procedures to ensure they obtain results that are consistent with CPSC’s for purposes of the Interim Enforcement Policy announced by the Office of Compliance. CPSC staff has concluded that these test methodologies are sufficient to make appropriate determinations concerning children’s metal jewelry. Accordingly, we intend to use them in lieu of the test methodologies previously followed. Definitions 1. Sample – The complete package of a product
