Sec.  1303.2  Definitions.

    (a) The definitions in section 3 of the Consumer Product Safety Act 
(15 U.S.C. 2052) shall apply to this part 1303.
    (b) For purposes of this part:
    (1) Paint and other similar surface-coating materials means a fluid, 
semi-fluid, or other material, with or without a suspension of finely 
divided coloring matter, which changes to a solid film when a thin layer 
is applied to a metal, wood, stone, paper, leather, cloth, plastic, or 
other surface. This term does not include printing inks or those 
materials which actually become a part of the substrate, such as the 
pigment in a plastic article, or those materials which are actually 
bonded to the substrate, such as by electroplating or ceramic glazing.
    (2) Lead-containing paint means paint or other similar surface 
coating materials containing lead or lead compounds and in which the 
lead content (calculated as lead metal) is in excess of 0.06 percent by 
weight of the total nonvolatile content of the paint or the weight of 
the dried paint film.
    (3) Toys and other articles intended for use by children means those 
toys and other articles which are intended to be entrusted to or for use 
by children. This would not include all articles to which children might 
have access simply because they are present in a household.
    (4) Furniture article means those movable articles: (i) Used to 
support people or things; (ii) other functional or decorative furniture 
articles, including, but not limited to, products such as beds, 
bookcases, chairs, chests, tables, dressers, desks, pianos, console 
televisions, and sofas. The term ``furniture article'' does not include 
appliances, such as ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers 
and dryers, air conditioners, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers; fixtures 
such as bathroom fixtures, built-in cabinets, chandeliers, windows, and 
doors; or household items such as window shades, venetian blinds, or 
wall hangings and draperies.
