ASTM E1792-20

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: E1792 − 03 (Reapproved 2016) E1792 − 20
Standard Specification for

Wipe Sampling Materials for Lead in Surface Dust
This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1792; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers requirements for wipes that are used to collect settled dusts on surfaces for the subsequent
determination of lead.
1.2 For wipe materials used for the determination of beryllium in surface dust refer to Specification D7707. This is mentioned to
insure that users of wipes recognize that there is some relationship between the analytical backgrounds found in wipes and the
analyte of interest.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 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 safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
