Back in December we told you about NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Annex G (NSF 61-G) and how it goes into effect nationally on January 1 2014. NSF 61-G ensures that any plumbing product that delivers drinkable water is limited to ≤ 0.25% weighted average lead content.
The state of Maryland however, has decided to enforce NSF 61-G two years in advance and it went into effect on January 1 of this year.
The most common items of concern for lead safety are brass and solder – copper, plastic, stainless steel and chrome are all lead-free.
Concerned about lead in your home or business? Call us today at 410-840-8118.
All of Apple Plumbing’s technicians have been trained on this new standard and can help you identify and rectify lead plumbing issues in your home or business.
