Lead in painted surfaces

How do I know if there is lead in my previously painted surfaces? In pre-1960 buildings, the wood and metal surfaces may have been decorated with paint containing lead pigments. Lead testing kits are available from some decorating centres and DIY stores. The details provided through the link below replace the old BCF green leaflet "Old Lead Painted Surfaces - A Guide on Repainting and Removal for DIY and Professional Painters and Decorators".
