25、Annex E . E1 Annex F . F1 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 standa
26、rds 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 Environmental Managers, a
27、nd 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 on overall administrat
28、ion 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 chemicals, also known as dir
29、ect 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. NSF/ANSI 61 was developed
30、 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 established by such organization
31、s 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 appropriate performance requirem
32、ents 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 with regard to USEPAs ac
33、tions, 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 the formation of disinfec
34、tion 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 result in exposure periods
35、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 months, Plumbing system
36、 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 2 The information contained in th
37、is Foreword is not part of this American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSIs requirements for an ANS. 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
38、 necessary for conformance 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
39、 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 important for managers of the
40、 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 as a basis of providi
41、ng 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 of the Joint Committe
42、e 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 standard are strongly enco
43、uraged 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. This version includes the following revisions: Issue 110: This revision excluded fire sprinklers from the restriction of use of lead
44、containing materials under section 3.5. Issue 123: The requirement of providing the expected service life of a product under the information and formulation requirements under section 3.2 was removed. Issue 128: This revision extended the use of section 9 water when evaluating lead and copper releas
45、e from brass and bronze devices. Issue 129: Criteria and a method were added for evaluating in-line copper silver ion generators under section 8. Issue 130: This revision added material specific analyses under Table 3.2. Issue 131: This revision harmonized language regarding testing of copper and co
46、pper alloy pipe, tubing, and fittings under section 4. ix Issue 132: The hot water exposure protocols under sections 4 and 8 were harmonized. Suggestions for improvement of this Standard are welcome. This Standard is maintained on a Continuous Maintenance schedule and can be opened for comment at an
47、y time. Comments should be sent to Chair, Joint Committee on Drinking Water Additives System Components at standardsnsf.org, or NSF International, Standards Department, P.O.

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 to promote health and
49、 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 products, 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 hea
