ASTM E2239-20

Standard Practice for Record Keeping and Record Preservation for Lead Hazard Activities

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice is intended to help reduce risks associated with lead hazards in buildings by providing standardized requirements for preserving records, findings, and recommendations associated with lead hazard activities.  
4.2 This practice is intended for use by individuals and organizations that develop and have need to preserve objective evidence when contracting for or when conducting lead hazard activities themselves.  
4.2.1 This practice is intended to assist in complying with management system requirements for record keeping promulgated by authorities having jurisdiction regarding conduct of lead hazard activities.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice describes requirements for preservation of records generated during lead hazard activities.  
1.2 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
