1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the release of metals from
metallic materials used in construction products intended to come into contact with
drinking water1).
The test can be used for three purposes:
-
a) assess a material as a reference material for a category of materials using the results of several investigations in different waters covering
a broad range of water compositions;
-
b) assess a material for approval by way of comparative testing;
-
c) obtain data on the interaction of local water with a material.
