NSF/ANSI Legislation

Utilities must be confident that they are providing an environmentally friendly product to their customers. States have increasingly enforced NSF/ANSI Standard 61 because of the increasing availability of lead free and low lead alloys that offer a viable alternative to traditional lead free components. Today, 43 states have enacted legislation that requires in-line and end point devices meet both NSF/ANSI Standard 61 requirements and the lead free requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
