The Lead Paint Reformulation Technical Guidelines have developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and guided by the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint. The document provide a comprehensive starting point for all stakeholders to learn more about paint reformulation and best practices. They offer general information on processes and provide a step-by-step approach to reformulation, indicating where to find relevant information such as alternative raw materials and additional details such as standards for testing and in-depth case studies.
The Technical Guidelines on Lead Paint Reformulation were developed to help address both capacity constraints and technical barriers to the substitution of lead compounds in paints with focus on the needs of SMEs for the effective and efficient reformulation of paint
The guidelines were made possible under a global project funded by the Global Environment Facility and implemented by the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) Secretariat.
