Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), a Consortium led by NSF International (NSF) agreed to develop voluntary third

27、-party consensus standards and a certification program for all direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the Consortium include the American Water Works Association Research Foundation, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators, the Conference of State Health and En

28、vironmental Managers, and the American Water Works Association. (COSHEM has since become inactive as an organization.) Each organization was represented on a steering committee with oversight responsibility for the administration of the cooperative agreement. The Steering Committee provides guidance

29、 on overall administration and management of the cooperative agreement. Currently, the member organizations remain active in an oversight role. Two Standards for additives products were developed. NSF/ANSI 60: Drinking water treatment chemicals Health effects covers many of the water treatment chemi

30、cals, also known as direct additives. This Standard, NSF/ANSI 61: Drinking water system components Health effects , covers all indirect additives products and materials. Testing to determine the potential of a product to impart taste and/or odor to drinking water is not included in this Standard. NS

31、F/ANSI 61 was developed to establish minimum requirements for the control of potential adverse human health effects from products that contact drinking water. It does not attempt to include product performance requirements that are currently addressed in other voluntary consensus standards establish

32、ed by such organizations as the American Water Works Association, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the American National Standards Institute. Because this Standard complements the performance standards of these organizations, it is recommended that products also meet the appropria

33、te performance requirements specified in the standards of such organizations. NSF/ANSI 61, and subsequent product certification against it, has replaced the USEPA Additives Advisory Program for drinking water system components. USEPA terminated its advisory role in April 1990. For more information w

34、ith regard to USEPAs actions, refer to the July 7, 1988 Federal Register (53FR25586). Water age can be a major factor in the deterioration of water quality within plumbing systems affecting issues of both public health and aesthetic concerns. With increased water age is an increased potential for th

35、e formation of disinfection by-products, increased corrosion, and an increased potential for microbial regrowth. It can also lead to a loss in the effectiveness of corrosion control measures and an increased potential for nitrification of the water. Within NSF/ANSI 61, most extraction protocols resu

36、lt in exposure periods between 12 to 24 hours. While these are appropriate for typical drinking water system use, they can be significantly less than in others. Examples of where high water age can occur include: water storage tanks in rain water catchment systems where the duration may be weeks or

37、months, plumbing system designs in green buildings which result of overall reduction in water usage without a change in piping design to minimize stagnation, buildings where stagnant periods occur due to non-use such as schools between semesters, vacation homes, or seasonal buildings, and 2The infor

NSF/ANSI 61 compliant products are often specified in these applications yet the potential accumulation of leachates over extended peri

40、ods of exposure may or may not be addressed though this standard. It is important that the design of drinking water plumbing systems take into account potentials for extended aging of water. This may include the flushing of the water piping system after extended periods of nonuse. It is also importa

41、nt for managers of the drinking systems in buildings be aware of the potential for high water age and proactively manage the system to minimize it. This Standard and the accompanying text are intended for voluntary use by certifying organizations, utilities, regulatory agencies, and/or manufacturers

42、 as a basis of providing assurances that adequate health protection exists for covered products. Product certification issues, including frequency of testing and requirements for follow-up testing, evaluation, enforcement, and other policy issues, are not addressed by this Standard. It is the intent

43、 of the Joint Committee to eliminate the extraction water specified in Table B3a from the Standard after August 2020, or a period of five years from the adoption of Table B3b. Use of either Table B3a or B3b provides for transition during this period. Certification bodies and other users of this stan

44、dard are strongly encouraged to perform periodic assessments of the effects of this change and provide feedback to the Joint Committee. All references to gallons (gal) are in U.S. gallons.
