This Standard establishes minimum health effects requirements for the chemical contaminants andimpurities that are indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components, and materials used indrinking water systems. This Standard does not establish performance, taste and odor, or microbialgrowth support requirements for drinking water system products, components, or materials.

This Standard is intended to cover specific materials or products that come into contact with:drinking water, drinking water treatment chemicals, or both. The focus of the Standard is evaluation ofcontaminants or impurities imparted indirectly to drinking water. The products and materials coveredinclude, but are not limited to, process media (e.g., carbon, sand), protective materials (e.g., coatings,linings, liners), joining and sealing materials (e.g., solvent cements, welding materials, gaskets), pipesand related products (e.g., pipes, tanks, fittings), mechanical devices used intreatment/transmission/distribution systems (e.g., valves, chlorinators, separation membranes, point-ofentrydrinking water treatment systems), and mechanical plumbing devices (e.g., faucets, endpointcontrol valves).

Point-of-use drinking water treatment devices are not covered by the scope of this Standard.
