Australian AS/NZS 4020 Material Testing:

This standard is developed by ASNZ Standards Board CH-034 "Materials in contact with potable water" and requires that all parts in contact with water in products shipped to Australia meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4020. The purpose of our service is to help customers predict in advance whether the test products can meet the requirements of Australian AS/NZS 4020 standard, and provide reasonable corrective suggestions for the products with failure items.

Products: faucet, braided pipe, spool, ball valve, Angle valve, copper pipe fittings, plastic pipe fittings, plastic pipe.

BS 6920 Materials Testing:

For exports to the UK and all contact with the water of materials and material that could be used to make the relevant equipment must conform to the British BS6920 or BS5750PART standards, to ensure that the taste and color of water does not change, will not lead to microbial breeding, toxic metals will not be release out, and does not contain or fold release other substances hazardous to health. Material experiments are required to be proved, otherwise physical experiments cannot be carried out in the whole product. A product that has passed the qualification level can assure the customer that the product required to meet the relevant specifications will not cause depletion, abuse, improper use or contamination of tap water - four provisions of the tap water regulations and rules. This certification is to the UK market must permit, although not mandatory, but it is a practice, most water companies in the supply of water when one of the necessary acceptance procedures is to see whether there is in line with the relevant standards of certification, WRAS recognition is the most convincing proof, no will not be qualified for water supply.

Products: rubber, plastic, paint, thread glue, lubricating oil.

North American NSF61 Material Testing:

The purpose of this standard is to minimize the adverse effects of indirect contact with potable water by non-healthy and non-pure substances produced in potable water by products, accessories or materials that involve water. Any product in contact with water, such as pipes, fittings, coatings, valves, gaskets, meters, pumps and faucets, etc.

The standard is NSF/ANSI 61, collectively known as the Toxicity Test, for all products in North America that come into contact with drinking water. For such products, the standard specifies that heavy metals and organic carcinogens cannot exceed the limit.

Products: faucet, Angle valve, ball valve, all kinds of pipe fittings, copper pipe, plastic joint, plastic pipe.
