ASTM Standards

• The Army Lead and Asbestos Team recommends using ASTM lead standards as the best standard of care for lead hazard management activities. These standards are written and maintained by ASTM Subcommittee E 06.23, Abatement of Lead Hazards in Buildings. Members of the CHPPM Lead Team serve on E06.23, and we can provide any additional information that you need about current and future ASTM standards.



• The ASTM standards listed below are hot-linked to their summaries on the ASTM web site. They can be ordered individually from the on-line ASTM Store. Prices are $15 and up, based on the number of pages. There is a compendium of ASTM Standards on Lead Hazards Associated With Buildings that includes all of the lead standards.
