Full title and description

GOST 33289-2015 — Safety of paint materials. Terms and definitions. The standard defines terms and basic concepts used to describe safety, fire‑ and explosion‑hazard indicators, toxicological and environmental characteristics, lifecycle stages and related notions for paint and coating materials (лакокрасочные материалы).

Abstract

This interstate standard establishes standardized terminology and definitions for the assessment and communication of safety attributes of paint and coating materials throughout their lifecycle (production, transport, storage, application, service and disposal). It is intended to harmonize language used in technical documentation, testing, regulation and safety literature related to lacquers, paints, varnishes and related products.

General information

• Status: Introduced and in force (implemented as a national standard in the Russian Federation from 1 March 2016).
• Publication date: Adopted 6 July 2015 (order N 866‑ст); effective date 1 March 2016.
• Publisher: Interstate (межгосударственный) standard prepared by Technical Committee TC 195 "Paint and coating materials"; implemented in Russia by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart).
• ICS / categories: ICS 87.040 (coatings, paint industry); OKСТУ 2301.
• Edition / version: GOST 33289-2015 (first edition, 2015).
• Number of pages: 12 pages (electronic PDF).

Scope

The standard applies to terminology and definitions used in the field of paint and coating material safety. It covers general concepts of "safety of paint material", lifecycle stages, ready‑to‑use formulations, packaging, environmental labelling, indicators of fire/explosion hazard (flash point, ignition, auto‑ignition, flammability limits), volatile organic compounds (VOC) content and emissions, toxicity and toxicity of combustion products, and related measures and indicators used for production, handling, application and disposal. The defined terms are recommended for use in all documentation and literature concerning paint materials and safety assessments.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized definitions for "safety of paint material" and "lifecycle" of paint/coating products.
• Terms covering production, storage, transport, application, formation of coatings, service life and disposal/management of waste.
• Definitions and indicators for fire‑ and explosion‑hazards: flash point, ignition temperature, auto‑ignition, flammability limits and flame spread indices.
• VOC content and emission terminology (during storage and in‑service emissions) and related measurement concepts.
• Terms for toxicity, pollutant release, toxicity of combustion products and exposure metrics used in safety evaluation.
• Definitions for packaging, handling, environmental labelling and classification of hazardous substances and prohibited compounds.

Typical use and users

Primary users include paint and coating manufacturers, formulation chemists, quality and safety engineers, testing and certification laboratories, regulatory authorities, standard writers and technical authors, occupational safety specialists and environmental compliance professionals who need harmonized terminology for safety documentation, testing protocols and regulatory reporting. The standard is also used as a reference in other technical standards and regulatory documents concerning paint materials.
