This Standard establishes minimum health effects requirements for the chemical contaminants and
impurities that are indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components, and materials used in
drinking water systems. This Standard does not establish performance, taste and odor, or microbial
growth support requirements for drinking water system products, components, or materials.
This Standard is intended to cover specific materials or products that come into contact with:
drinking water, drinking water treatment chemicals, or both. The focus of the Standard is evaluation of
contaminants or impurities imparted indirectly to drinking water. The products and materials covered
include, but are not limited to, process media (e.g., carbon, sand), protective materials (e.g., coatings,
linings, liners), joining and sealing materials (e.g., solvent cements, welding materials, gaskets), pipes
and related products (e.g., pipes, tanks, fittings), mechanical devices used in
treatment/transmission/distribution systems (e.g., valves, chlorinators, separation membranes, point-ofentry
drinking water treatment systems), and mechanical plumbing devices (e.g., faucets, endpoint
control valves).
Point-of-use drinking water treatment devices are not covered by the scope of this Standard.
Fire hydrants are not covered by the scope of this Standard.
