Article 7 of the Convention and Part V of the report form. Application in practice. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that it has now been confirmed by means of inspections that white lead pigments are no longer used in the process for producing paint and colourants in the paint and in other colourant manufacturing industry. Furthermore, no battery manufacturers use lead elements in their cells. It also notes that there are no national statistics on cases of lead poisoning at the national level. Recalling that, in accordance with this Article, governments which have ratified the present Convention have assumed the obligation to collect statistics on lead poisoning among working painters with regard to: (a) morbidity, by notification and certification of all cases of lead poisoning; and (b) mortality, by a method approved by the official statistical authority in each country, the Committee requests the Government to take the necessary steps to collect such statistics and to provide them. Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to provide summaries of the inspection reports relating to the Convention as well as any documentation relating to the application of the Convention in practice.
