How to Identify Lead Free Certification Marks for Pipes, Fittings, Fixtures, Solder, and Flux Used for Drinking Water

How to Identify Lead Free Certification Marks for Pipes, Fittings, Fixtures, Solder, and Flux Used for Drinking Water (pdf) (1.57 MB, June 6, 2024, EPA/600/F-13/153d)

In the United States, there are currently eight American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited third-party certification bodies that provide product certification to the Safe Drinking Water Act lead free requirement for manufacturers of pipes, fittings, fixtures, solder, and flux used for drinking water. Each of these certification bodies has unique certification marks (registered trademarks) that they use to certify a multitude of drinking water products for various requirements. This tool will assist users with identifying certification marks that indicate a pipe, pipe fitting, plumbing fitting or fixture, solder, or flux meets the Safe Drinking Water Act lead free requirement.
