ASTM C1466 Standard Test Method for Determination of Lead and Cadmium Extracted from Ceramic Foodware

    Introduction to ASTM C1466

    Lead and cadmium have well-known toxic effects, and many nations have regulations governing the emission of these metals from footwear. The findings of a 24-hour leaching test with acetic acid are used to inform regulatory decisions since ASTM C1466 is user-friendly and yields precise and accurate results. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM C1466 tests for our clients. ASTM C1466 should only be used in settings free from contamination, and it should only be carried out by highly qualified technical staff. 

    ASTM C1466 Test Method

    Lead and Cadmium extraction from foodTest jars that come into contact with food are filled with 4 percent acetic acid to within 6 to 7 mm (1⁄4 in.) of overflowing, and the lead and cadmium are then leached for 24 hours at 20 to 24°C (68 to 75°F). 
    GFAAS AnalysisGFAAS uses an instrumental background correction and a chemical modifier to determine the levels of lead and cadmium. Using a calibration curve and linear least squares regression, concentrations in leach solutions are determined.

    ASTM C1466 Test Specimens

    Specimen DetailLead and cadmium removed from the food-contact surface of foodware at room temperature using acetic acid are used as specimens.
    Specimen SizeTest tubes are filled with 4% acetic acid to within 6 to 7 mm (1⁄4 in.) of overflowing and then leached for 24 hours at 20 to 24°C (68 to 75°F) to remove lead and cadmium from their food-contact surfaces. 

    ASTM C1466 Test Result

    Finally, ASTM C1466 outlines the procedure for determining the amount of lead and cadmium on the surface of food ware that comes into contact with food. This standard offers detailed instructions for determining the concentrations of these compounds to guarantee adherence to safety laws and requirements for items that come into contact with food.

    ASTM C1466 Related Tests

    ASTM C1466 is related to tests, including ASTM C738 for cadmium and lead extraction processes.
