As a result of legislation regarding lead and cadmium release from the surfaces of tableware by the American FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) and specific California State requirements, manufacturers now need to check for the amounts of these materials that may be transferred from their product into food and drink and hence be consumed by the end user. Manufacturers therefore require an accurate test method, which can be effective in the process control environment.
