Influence of metallic materials on water intended for human consumption. Dynamic rig test for assessment of metal release. Design and operation | Status: Current

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:

1. 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;
2. b) assess a material for approval by way of comparative testing;
3. c) obtain data on the interaction of local water with a material.
