Thanks to convenient drop off sites, consumers now have a way to ensure the collection, reuse, and recycling of architectural paint. Looking for a drop off location? Visit the Paint Care New York program page for participating sites and the latest program information.
Producers of architectural paint sold into the state must take part in a postconsumer paint collection and recycling program following the DEC approved plan. The program covers "architectural paint" and includes interior and exterior architectural coatings sold in containers of five gallons or less including house paint and primers (latex or oil-based), stains, deck and concrete sealers, and clear finishes (e.g., varnishes, shellacs).
Retailers of architectural paint can only offer for sale architectural paint products and brands belonging to producers who are registered with the program. Retailers of architectural paint are given the opportunity to voluntarily participate as a waste paint drop-off site.
Local municipalities, by participating as waste paint drop-off sites, benefit from the postconsumer paint collection program since costs associated with the management of waste paint that ends up in the municipal waste streams will be covered by the program.
Since the program's implementation, producers are prohibited from selling or offering for sale, architectural paint in the state unless the producer and their brands are registered with the DEC as participating in an approved program.
Producers or retailers can no longer sell, or offer for sale, architectural paint to consumers in New York unless the producer and their brands participate in the program and are registered with PaintCare.
Under the law, architectural paint producers, who sell paint in or into New York State, need to implement a postconsumer paint collection program, either individually or cooperatively with other producers. Participants submitted postconsumer paint collection program plans to DEC by July,2020. The postconsumer paint collection program is funded by a small fee, "the PaintCare fee," incorporated into the price of covered products at the time of purchase.
PaintCare Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that represents paint producers in other states that have implemented similar programs, submitted a draft plan on behalf of producers who sell architectural paint in New York State.
DEC granted a conditional approval (PDF) to PaintCare on its revised postconsumer paint collection program plan submitted to the Department on December 1, 2021. Read more about the PaintCare New York Paint Stewardship Program Plan. (PDF, 28 MB)
DEC issued an enforcement discretion letter (PDF, March 2021) regarding conditionally exempt small quantity generator provisions. This letter addresses authorized destination facilities and regulatory flexibility for collection of postconsumer paint.
I had never thought using yoghurt in painting, what a perfect idea!! Thanks for teaching an easy way for this. I find your whole website too inspiring, creative and very well designed. Good work, thanks (from my baby son and me ? )
All children's products, and some furniture, for adults and children, must not contain a concentration of lead greater than 0.009 percent (90 parts per million) in paint or any similar surface coatings. Household paint must also meet this requirement. Paint or any similar surface coatings for consumer use exceeding 0.009 percent by weight of the total nonvolatile content of the paint (90 parts per million) and products specified in 16 CFR 1303.1 that bear such paint or coatings are banned hazardous products.
Printing inks, materials such as pigments for plastic that become part of an article itself, and materials such as ceramic glaze and electroplated coatings that become bonded to the surface of a product are NOT paints or similar surface coating materials. See 16 CFR 1303.2(b)(1) for more detail. Printing inks refer to inks used for printing on paper. Inks used to print on textiles are addressed in another question in this document.
In addition to those products that are sold directly to consumers, the lead in paint and surface coatings regulation applies to products that are used or enjoyed by consumers after sale, such as paints used in residences, schools, hospitals, parks, playgrounds, and public buildings or other areas where consumers will have direct access to the painted surface. Paints for boats and cars are not covered by the regulation.
If you have a product subject to the regulation on lead in paint and similar surface coatings, you must be able to certify, in a written certificate of conformity, that your product does not contain levels of lead in excess of the 0.009 percent limit (90 parts per million). Your certificate of conformity must meet the following requirements:
Children's Products: Conduct third party testing on each children's product (primarily intended for children 12 or younger) from a CPSC-accepted laboratory. Based upon test results that confirm your product does not contain levels of lead in paint that violate the limit, you must issue a Children's Product Certificate. The correct citation to include in the CPC for this total lead content requirement is: 16 CFR Part 1303.
General Use Products (e.g., furniture that is not designed or intended primarily for children 12 or younger): You must test your general use product or institute a reasonable testing program before you can certify that your product does not contain levels of lead in paint that violate the limit. You must then issue a General Certificate of Conformity. (You may, but are not required to, conduct third party testing on each product at a CPSC-accepted laboratory.)
I cannot tell if the design on my product is considered a surface coating or part of the substrate. How do I determine whether my product is subject to third party testing for: (i) the limit in total lead content for the product's substrate, or (ii) the limit in lead in paint or other similar surface coatings?
While it is best to make the determination regarding whether the substance meets the definition of a "surface coating" before it is added or applied to the product, CPSC staff generally applies a "scraping test" to determine whether a substance on a product is a "surface coating," as defined by 16 CFR 1303.2, and subject to the regulation on lead in paint or other similar surface coatings.
In most cases, if a substance can be scraped off and separated from the underlying substrate of a product, such as paint on plastic substrate, it is treated as a surface coating that must comply with the 0.009 percent (90 parts per million) limit for lead in paint or any surface coating. Likewise, if a substance cannot be scraped from the substrate without also removing the substrate, such as colored plastic substrate, ordinary ink on paper, or fired-on decorations on glazed ceramic, it would be treated as part of the substrate that must comply with the lead content limit of 100 parts per million. A single product may have some components that bear a surface coating and are subject to the lead paint rule and have other accessible component parts, made of metal or plastic, subject to the lead content rule.
No. If you are manufacturing a children's product, you must ensure that your finished product, or all of the painted components of your product, have been third party tested by a CPSC-accepted laboratory before you can certify that your product does not contain levels of lead in paint that violate the limit.
If you are manufacturing a general use product, like non-children's furniture, then for purposes of preparing a General Certificate of Conformity (GCC) you must test the paint (in its dried state), test the finished product, and/or institute a reasonable testing program to ensure that your products do not contain levels of lead in the paint that violate the limit. Contacting a paint manufacturer and asking for written assurances that their paint does not contain lead and/or asking for their test reports may be one part of a reasonable testing program. Due care must be taken to ensure the compliance of the paint or the surface coating.
Yes, but the component part testing must be conducted on the dried paint film that is scraped off of a surface to properly measure by weight. Consistent with the regulation, testing paint or similar surface coatings in their liquid form cannot provide a basis for properly issuing a Component Part Certificate. See our additional FAQs on FAQs on Component Part Testing.
No, the paint does not need to be scraped off of a sample of the finished product. The paint may be applied to any suitable substrate in order to dry, and the substrate used need not be of the same material as in the finished product. For testing purposes, a larger quantity of paint may need to be tested than the quantity actually used on the finished product.
Please refer to the regulation for the specific label statements required and the location where those statements must appear on product labels. Even if a product is exempt from CPSC lead in paint requirements, a product may be banned by other federal authorities (e.g., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has restrictions on the use of leaded industrial coatings for bridges).
