BS 6920-2.6:2000+A2:2014

This standard BS 6920-2.6:2000+A2:2014 Suitability of non-metallic products for use in contact with water intended for human consumption with regard to their effect on the quality of the water is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.060.20 Drinking water

This section of BS 6920 specifies the test procedure for assessing the leachability of metals from non-metallic products when used in contact with water intended for human consumption.

NOTE 1 In view of the type of product tested and the amounts of additives present, a limiting level of solubility in the extract water (saturation) is unlikely to be attained.

NOTE 2 The limit of detection and sensitivity of the method vary according to the particular metal being analysed (see Clause 8).

NOTE 3 Under the relevant National Regulations [4] to [10], the National Regulator may specify additional provisions in some cases and will assess the significance of the results obtained.
