what is Annex G?
Simply stated, it is the response from the NSF Joint Committee on Drinking Water Additives to the California law restricting the amount of lead in plumbing products. Basically, the Annex provides a methodology of determining if a product has less than 0.25 percent lead in the components exposed to the drinking water. One of the first requirements in Annex G is that the plumbing product complies with the full requirements of NSF 61. The full requirements determine the health effects of a product and whether it is safe to be used for drinking water.
