ASTM spec for hex-free Zinc Chromate finish?

2005

We are trying to comply with RoHS (Restrictions on Hazardous Substances)directive for our steel sheet metal parts, which are zinc plated and chromated, and were wondering the following:

Does ASTM have a new specification (ASTM B633) covering Zinc Chromate with out Hexavalent Chromium?
