Manufacturers Seek Lead Law Clarity

WITH DEADLINE APPROACHING, CONFUSION STILL SURROUNDS COMPLIANCE TO CALIFORNIA'S NEW LOW-LEAD STANDARDS
Section 116875 of the California Health and Safety Code stipulates that effective Jan. 1, 2010, all pipe, fittings and fixtures to be sold within the state must meet a new "Lead-Free" standard.
In September 2006, California became the first state in the nation to pass a "lead free" plumbing law, followed by Vermont in 2008. Several other states are considering similar legislation. Enacted as an amendment to the state's Health and Safety Code, California's Assembly Bill 1953 stipulated that as of Jan. 1, 2010, "any pipe or plumbing fitting, or fixture intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption" introduced into commerce within California would be limited to a "weighted average lead content of the wetted surface ... of not more than 0.25%."
