| Lead Containing Paint |
paint or other surface coatings that contain lead in an amount equal to or greater than 0.06% lead dry weight (600 ppm) but does not meet the definition of Lead Based Paint.

Lead concentration shall be determined by a method that has an accuracy of not less than plus or minus 25% at 0.06% lead dry weight, to a confidence level of 95%.
