In force since 28 Feb 1978
Applies to products manufactured on or after 28 Feb 1978
Section 1303.4: products "manufactured after February 27, 1978" are banned hazardous products. "Lead-containing paint" means lead above 0.06 percent, reduced to 0.009 percent (90 mg/kg) of the nonvolatile paint or dried film from 2009-08-14 (§1303.2(b)(2)); that threshold defines the paint, it is not a separate limit on the article. Binds only an article that bears paint or a similar surface coating: printing inks and materials that become part of the substrate or are bonded to it (pigment in a plastic article, electroplating, ceramic glazing) are not paint (§1303.2(b)(1)). | The text bans products "manufactured after February 27, 1978", so the first covered date is 1978-02-28 (same convention as REACH "after D").
(b) Toys and other articles intended for use by children that bear “lead-containing paint.”

"Lead-containing paint" means lead above 0.06 percent, reduced to 0.009 percent (90 mg/kg) of the nonvolatile paint or dried film from 2009-08-14 (§1303.2(b)(2)); that threshold defines the paint, it is not a separate limit on the article.
