Analyte scope
This disclosure travels with the mark so a certified product is never silently uncontrolled on an analyte.
- Published (firm limit in force): none yet
- In scope, in development (no firm limit yet): Cd, MeHg, Sn
- Out of scope for this subcategory: Pb, tAs, iAs, tHg, Ni, Cr-VI, Al
Status: in development. No analyte in this subcategory has cleared all five shipping gates yet. This page reports the current evidence state honestly; it is not yet a published standard. See Program Structure for how a subcategory reaches publication.
HMTc standards are living, versioned documents. This page reflects 2.2 (2026-06-09) as of 2026-06-20. Superseded versions remain at stable URLs so prior citations resolve. The threshold-setting methodology is described in Program Structure.
