Methods specific to other industrial categories are listed or incorporated by reference into the regulations at 40 CFR Parts 401 through 503. These include methods specific to the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard category (40 CFR Part 430), and specific to Use or Disposal of Sewage Sludge (biosolids) (40 CFR Part 503). Industry-specific methods that are approved for compliance monitoring in the industry for which they are designated may be used for general use, if the same method is listed in Tables I-A to I-E, or I-H at 40 CFR 136.3.
