Designation:E149717An American National StandardStandard Practice forSelection and Safe Use of Water-Miscible and Straight OilMetal Removal Fluids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1497;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This practice sets forth guidelines for the selection andsafe use of metal removal fluids,additives,and antimicrobials.This includes product selection,storage,dispensing,and main-tenance.1.2 Water-miscible metal removal fluids are typically usedat high dilution,and dilution rates vary widely.Additionally,there is potential for exposure to undiluted metal removal fluidas manufactured,as well as metal removal fluid additives andantimicrobials.1.3 Straight oils generally consist of a severely solvent-refined or hydro-treated petroleum oil,a synthetic oil,or otheroils of animal or vegetable origin,including oils that aremodified for performance characteristics(for example,esteri-fied rapeseed oil,and so forth).Straight oils are not intended tobe diluted with water prior to use.Additives are often includedin straight oil formulations.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D7049 Test Method for Metal Removal Fluid Aerosol inWorkplace AtmospheresE1302 Guide for Acute Animal Toxicity Testing of Water-Miscible Metalworking FluidsE1542 Terminology Relating to Occupational Health andSafetyE1972 Practice for Minimizing Effects of Aerosols in theWet Metal Removal Environment(Withdrawn 2017)3E2144 Practice for Personal Sampling and Analysis of En-dotoxin in Metalworking Fluid Aerosols in WorkplaceAtmospheresE2148 Guide for Using Documents Related to Metalworkingor Metal Removal Fluid Health and SafetyE2169 Practice for Selecting Antimicrobial Pesticides forUse in Water-Miscible Metalworking FluidsE2275 Practice for Evaluating Water-Miscible Metalwork-ing Fluid Bioresistance and Antimicrobial Pesticide Per-formanceE2889 Practice for Control of Respiratory Hazards in theMetal Removal Fluid Environment2.2 U.S.Code of Federal Regulations:429 CFR 1910.1200 Hazard Communication29 CFR 1910.132 General Requirements(Personal Protec-tive Equipment)(e.g.gloves,sleeves,aprons,are criticalapplications that avoid or reduce exposure)29 CFR 1910.133 Eye and Face Protection29 CFR 1910.134 Respiratory Protection29 CFR 1910.138 Hand Protection29 CFR 1910.1048 Formaldehyde1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E34 on Occupa-tional Health and Safety and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E34.50 onHealth and Safety Standards for Metal Working Fluids.Current edition approved Oct.1,2017.Published October 2017.Originallyapproved in 1992.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as E1497 05(2011).DOI:10.1520/E1497-17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Code of Federal Regulations available from United States Government PrintingOffice,Washington,DC 20402.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 29 CFR 1910 Appendix B to Subpart I Non-mandatoryCompliance Guidelines for Hazard Assessment and Per-sonal Protective Equipment Selection40 CFR 156 Labeling Requirements for Pesticides andDevices40 CFR Chapter I,Subchapter N Effluent Guidelines andStandards2.3 Other Documents:Management of the Metal Removal Fluid Environment:AGuide to Safe and Efficient Use of Metal Removal Fluids53.Ter
