Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover the evaluation of wetted surfaces of
products, components, and materials that convey or dispense water
that is intended for human consumption by drinking or cooking for
lead (Pb) content.
These requirements do not cover other health risk aspects of
these products, components, and materials such as contaminants that
may leach into the water from materials of which the product is
manufactured.
The final acceptance of a product, component, or material is
dependent upon its compliance with the requirements and standards
that a local, state, federal, or other jurisdictional body has
defined for the product or component.
The lead content verification requirements are adapted from the
public domain content available in the California Department of
Toxic Substances Control Fact Sheet (August 2009) on Testing and
Evaluation of Lead Content in Plumbing Products, Materials and
Components.
