Title
Standard Practice for Labeling Art Materials for Chronic Health Hazards
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 15, 1994
Scope:
This practice describes a procedure for developing precautionary
labels for art materials and
provides hazard and precautionary statements based upon knowledge that
exists in the scientific and
medical communities. This practice concerns those chronic health
hazards known to be associated
with a product or product component(s), when the component(s) is
present in a physical form,
volume, or concentration that in the opinion of a toxicologist (see
2.1.11) has the potential to
produce a chronic adverse health effect(s).
This practice applies exclusively to art materials packaged in sizes
intended for individual users
of any age or those participating in a small group.
Labeling determinations shall consider reasonable foreseeable use or
misuse. The responsibility for
precautionary labeling rests with the producer or repackager who
markets the materials for art or
craft use.
This practice does not specify test methods for determining whether a
substance or product presents
chronic health hazards.
This practice does not apply to products appropriately labeled for
known chronic health hazards in
accordance with chemical substance labeling standards and practices,
such as another national
consensus standard, existing labeling statutes, regulations, or
guidelines.
Since knowledge about chronic health hazards is incomplete and
warnings cannot cover all uses of
any product, it is not possible for precautionary labeling to ensure
completely safe use of an art
product.
Manufacturers or repackagers may wish to determine individually or
collectively precautionary
labeling for art materials in accordance with this practice.
Compliance may be certified by a
certifying organization. Guidelines for a certifying organization are
given in Appendix X1.
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.
