ASTM E1775-20

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: E1775 − 16 E1775 − 20
Standard Guide for
Evaluating Performance of On-Site Extraction and Field-
Portable Electrochemical or Spectrophotometric Analysis
for Lead
This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1775; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This guide provides guidelines for determining the performance of field-portable quantitative lead analysis instruments.
1.2 This guide applies to field-portable electroanalytical and spectrophotometric (including reflectance and colorimetric)
analyzers.
1.3 Sample matrices of concern herein include paint, dust, soil, and airborne particles.
1.4 This guide addresses the desired performance characteristics of field-based sample extraction procedures for lead, as well as
on-site extraction followed by field-portable analysis.
1.5 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 safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6 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.

3.1 Definitions—For definitions of terms not listed here, see TerminologyTerminologies D1356 and E1605.
3.2 anodic stripping voltammetry—an electroanalytical technique in which the concentration of analyte metal species dissolved
in solution is determined.
3.2.1 Discussion—
The analyte is first deposited (preconcentrated) electrochemically by reducing the dissolved ion in solution to immobilized metal
species at an electrode surface (such as mercury or bismuth). The metal is deposited at an applied potential (voltage) which is
negative of the standard oxidation potential for the metal/ion redox couple. After deposition, the preconcentrated metal species is
then stripped from the electrode by applying a positive potential sweep, which causes anodic oxidation of the analyte metal species
to dissolved ion. The current associated with this reoxidation is measured. The peak current is proportional to the original
concentration of dissolved analyte species over a wide range of concentrations.
3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 anodic stripping voltammetry, n—an electroanalytical technique in which the concentration of analyte metal species
dissolved in solution is determined.

3.2.2 colorimetry, n—an analytical technique in which ultraviolet-visible light of a single, narrow wavelength range is passed
through a sample cell containing dissolved analyte, and the absorption measured.
3.2.3 reflectance, n—a measurement technique in which light reflected off of a surface containing the analyte of interest is
measured by a detector.
3.2.4 spectrophotometry, n—an analytical technique in which a spectrum of a sample containing the analyte of interest is obtained
and used to determine the analyte concentration.
