ASTM D4236

ASTM D4236 is a standard that ensures art supplies, such as markers, crayons, and paints, are evaluated for potential health risks. Manufacturers assess whether their products contain any harmful substances that could affect users, especially children. The result is a label indicating the product has been examined for safety concerns. This helps consumers make informed choices and promotes safer use of art materials, particularly in settings like schools and homes. Essentially, ASTM D4236 provides a consistent way to communicate the safety of art products, reducing the risk of exposure to toxic ingredients.
