Designation:E3074/E3074M16Standard Practice forClearance Examinations Following Lead Hazard ReductionActivities in Single Family Dwellings,in Individual Units ofMultifamily Dwellings,and in Other Child-OccupiedFacilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3074/E3074M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof 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.Scope1.1 This practice covers visual assessment for the presenceof deteriorated paint,surface dust,painted debris,and paintchips with environmental sampling of surface dust to deter-mine whether a lead hazard exists at the time of samplecollection,following lead-hazard reduction activities,or otherbuilding maintenance and modification activities.1.2 This practice addresses clearance examination of single-family detached dwellings(including exterior structures,suchas fences),individual units in multifamily dwellings,commonareas or exterior sites,and child-occupied facilities.1.3 This practice also addresses clearance examinations thatmay include soil sampling,for example when soil abatementhas been performed.1.4 This practice includes a procedure for determiningwhether regulatory requirements for lead clearance levels fordust and,where warranted,soil have been met,and,conse-quently whether a clearance area,passes or fails a clearanceexamination.NOTE1This practice is based on that portion of“clearance”describedfor the United States of America in 40 CFR Part 745 for abatement,andin 24 CFR Part 35 for lead-hazard reduction activities other thanabatement.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.6 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4840 Guide for Sample Chain-of-Custody ProceduresD5124 Practice for Testing and Use of a Random NumberGenerator in Lumber and Wood Products SimulationE631 Terminology of Building ConstructionsE1480 Terminology of Facility Management(Building-Related)E1605 Terminology Relating to Lead in BuildingsE1727 Practice for Field Collection of Soil Samples forSubsequent Lead DeterminationE1728 Practice for Collection of Settled Dust Samples UsingWipe Sampling Methods for Subsequent Lead Determi-nationE1792 Specification for Wipe Sampling Materials for Leadin Surface DustE2239 Practice for Record Keeping and Record Preservationfor Lead Hazard ActivitiesE2255/E2255M Practice for Conducting VisualAssessmentsfor Lead Hazards in Buildings2.2 U.S.Code of Federal Regulations324 CFR Part 35 Department of Housing and Urban Devel-opment(HUD),Requirements for Notification,Evaluationand Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in FederallyOwned Residential Property and Housing Receiving Fed-eral Assistance(especially subparts B and R)40 CFR Part 745 Environmental Protection Agency(EPA),Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Resi-dential Structures(especially subparts D,L and Q)1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Perfor-mance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.23 on LeadHazards Associated with Buildings.Current edition approved Oct.1,2016.Published November 2016.DOI:10.1520/E3074_E3074M-16.2For 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.3Available from U.S.Government Publishing Office,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Washington,DC 20401-0001,http:/www.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:For definitions of terms not appearing here,see Terminologies E631,E1480,and E1605.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 clearance,ncombined visual and quantitative envi-ronmental evaluation used to determine if a hazardous level oflead remains after a lead hazard reduction,or other buildingmaintenance or modification activity has been performed.3.2.1.1 DiscussionUsually performed with the idea ofdetermining if the space undergoing the evaluation is safe forreoccupancy.3.2.2 clearance area,nwork area and additional spacesoutside the work area where lead contamination may haveoccurred during lead hazard reduction and other buildingmaintenance or
