BS EN 15664-1:2008+A1:2013

This standard BS EN 15664-1:2008+A1:2013 Influence of metallic materials on water intended for human consumption. Dynamic rig test for assessment of metal release is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.250 Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs
• 13.060.20 Drinking water

This European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the release of metals from metallic materials used in construction products intended to come into contact with drinking water ¹⁾.

The test can be used for three purposes:

1. assess a material as a reference material for a category of materials using the results of several investigations in different waters covering a broad range of water compositions;
2. assess a material for approval by way of comparative testing;
3. obtain data on the interaction of local water with a material.
