Scope:

This standard establishes a limit on the amount of lead that may be contained within the water contact
materials in a drinking water contact product. This standard also defines the test methodology for the
analytical determination of the lead content of materials in these products.

Project need:

The development of NSF/ANSI 372 as a NSC will further its acceptance in the Canadian Marketplace and serve as a benchmark for controlling the amount of lead in products that contact drinking water.
