Those 4 States, since 2007, join a voluntary collaboration in order to intersect, in a only one model, their own regulations about this matter, in a way that the composition of each material ( Copper alloy for instance) usable for productions aimed to be in contact with drinking water, will be clearly identified.<\/p>\n

Intensely important is the method of the 4MS on the metal materials that can be used by the faucets and valve\u2019s industry. This method differentiate materials and products depending on percentage of metals release in drinking water.<\/p>\n

This method consists in:<\/p>\n
