ASTM C1606-10(2014)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Sampling Protocol for TCLP Testing of Container Glassware
Standard Test Method for Sampling Protocol for TCLP Testing of Container Glassware
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Sampling of decorated glass containers for the TCLP can vary greatly, resulting from the size and shape of the article relative to the amount of ceramic decoration on the ware. Breaking the glass can cause some of the pieces to have no decoration on them, and others to be heavily decorated and more likely to leach lead and cadmium under the TCLP test. This method provides an effective tool to homogenize the glass containers so that reproducible results can be attained from the TCLP test.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method defines the way in which container glassware should be prepared before performing the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). The method covers the homogenization of the sample, and the selection of a representative portion of the sample to test and get reproducible results.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 Container glass articles decorated with ceramic glass decorations are broken to fit the requirements of the TCLP protocol
by using a disc mill or roll mill apparatus, and then the samples are homogenized using a riffle box. A representative sample of
the glass articles can then be put through the TCLP test with reproducible results.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 Sampling of decorated glass containers for the TCLP can vary greatly, resulting from the size and shape of the article relative
to the amount of ceramic decoration on the ware. Breaking the glass can cause some of the pieces to have no decoration on them,
and others to be heavily decorated and more likely to leach lead and cadmium under the TCLP test. This method provides an
effective tool to homogenize the glass containers so that reproducible results can be attained from the TCLP test.

6. Reagents and Materials
6.1 Glassware to be tested, in two sets of 10 units each.
7. Hazards
7.1 When working with glassware, always be aware and careful of the potential of getting cut by the glass. Personal protective
equipment, such as a face shield or goggles, leather gloves, and a protective apron should be worn when working with glass.
Take precautions when working with the samples and apparatus to avoid the possibilities of getting hurt.
8. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units
8.1 Since the amount of lead and cadmium that leaches from a decoration can be affected by the relative size of the decoration,
it is important to start with two sets of 10 units each.
9. Procedure
9.1 To minimize the variation of sampling, this testing shall be done in duplicate, and therefore, take two sets of 10 units of the
glassware to be tested.
9.2 Pre-break the glass prior to milling, using the following procedure:
