In response to a decision by the Australian Building Codes Board, NCC 2022 includes new standards for plumbing products intended for use in contact with drinking water, limiting the weighted average lead content to not more than 0.25%.
The inclusion of the new requirement means that from 1 September 2025, plumbing products that do not conform to lead free requirements will no longer have valid certification and will not be authorised for installation if in contact with drinking water.
As Australia’s leading experts in lead safe water solutions, Galvin Engineering has been preparing for this move for years, offering an extensive range of compliant lead free drinking and handwashing solutions for education, healthcare, and public areas.
