25、 Annex G G1 Interpretations Annex Interpretations - 1 vii Foreword2 In response to a competitive request for proposals from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), a Consortium led by NSF International (NSF) agreed to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification p
26、rogram 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 Environmental Managers, and the American Water Wor
27、ks 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 on overall administration and management of the
28、 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 chemicals, also known as direct additives. This Stand
29、ard, 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. NSF/ANSI 61 was developed to establish minimum req
30、uirements 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 established by such organizations as the American Water W
31、orks 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 appropriate performance requirements specified in the sta
32、ndards 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 with regard to USEPAs actions, refer to the July
33、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 the formation of disinfection by-products, increas
34、ed 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 result in exposure periods between 12 to 24 hours. W
35、hile 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 months, - Plumbing system designs in green bui
36、ldings 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 2 The information contained in this Foreword is not

As such, this Foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conf
38、ormance to the Standard. viii - Products on isolated lines with either long or oversized piping resulting low water turnover. NSF/ANSI 61 compliant products are often specified in these applications yet the potential accumulation of leachates over extended periods of exposure may or may not be addre
39、ssed 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 important for managers of the drinking systems
40、 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 as a basis of providing assurances tha
41、t 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. All references to gallons (gal) are in U.S. gallons. Th
42、is version includes the following revisions: Issue 120: This revision added an option to perform a full 90 days of exposure to establish the Day 90 contaminant concentration where Day 90 assessments are currently allowed. Issue 121: This revision updated the terminology that describes the chlorine c
43、ontent of various test waters to be stated as “free available chlorine.” Issue 122: This revision added nanofiltration to the exemptions under section 3.2 and 3.3.2, and revised the formulation exemption to the restriction of lead-containing materials under Section 3.5. for component materials in wh
44、ich the generic material type is contained in Table 3.1 Issue 124: This revision removed the reference to the 2.0 square inch restriction on material formulation information found under section 3.3. Issue 125: This revision updated the compositions of four of the stainless steels listed in Table C1
45、to match the material specifications in the ASTM product standards cited for them in the table. Issue 126: This revision updated several pass/fail values included in Annex D - drinking water criteria. Suggestions for improvement of this Standard are welcome. This Standard is maintained on a Continuo
46、us Maintenance schedule and can be opened for comment at any time.

47、nizations NSF International Popularly referred to as NSF, NSF International is a noncommercial agency. It is incorporated under the laws of Michigan as a not-for-profit organization devoted to research, education, and service. It seeks to solve problems involving man and his environment. It wishes t
48、o promote health and enrich the quality of life through conserving and improving that environment. Its fundamental principle of operation is to serve as a neutral medium in which business and industry, official regulatory agencies, and the public come together to deal with problems involving product
49、s, equipment, procedures, and services related to health and the environment. It is conceived and administered as a public service organization. NSF is perhaps best known for its role in developing standards and criteria for equipment, products, and services that bear upon health. NSF was the lead organization in the Consortium responsible for developing this Standard. NSF conducts research; tests and evaluates equipment, products, and services for compliance with standards and criteria; and grants and controls the use of NSF registered Marks. NSF offers product c
