Lead standard

The Lead Standard refers to regulations that limit the amount of lead— a toxic metal— allowed in products like paint and plumbing materials. These standards are designed to protect people's health, especially children, from lead poisoning, which can cause developmental issues and health problems. By setting maximum allowable lead levels, authorities ensure products are safe for use, reducing the risk of exposure through ingestion, inhalation, or contact. Adhering to Lead Standards helps prevent health hazards and promotes safer environments in homes, schools, and workplaces.
