Overview
This standard specifies the procedure to determine the release of metals from metallic materials used in construction products intended to come into contact with drinking water. The test can be used for following three purposes: a) assessment of a material as a reference material for a category of materials using the results of several investigations in different waters covering a broad range of water compositions; b) assessment of a material for approval by way of comparative testing; c) obtain data on the interaction of local water with a material. Unfortunately it was noted at a later date that Annex C contains some incorrect data. It is therefore planned to modify the standard.
