The Lead Advisory Service (NSW) have found out that imported mirrors which contain leaded paint are not covered by the Prohibited Import Regulations, resulting in mirrors with dangerous levels of lead being imported into the country. Locally made mirrors have to comply with the Standard for Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons; leaded paint must be no more than 15% lead and 40mm thick, and be covered by non-leaded paint.
