<br />(a) No person shall use any pipe, pipe or plumbing fitting or fixture,
<br />solder, or flux that is not lead free in the installation or repair of any
<br />public water system or any plumbing in a facility providing water for
<br />human consumption, except when necessary for the repair of leaded
<br />joints of cast iron pipes.
<br />(b)(1) No person shall introduce into commerce any pipe, pipe or
<br />plumbing fitting, or fixture intended to convey or dispense water for
<br />human consumption through drinking or cooking that is not lead free,
<br />as defined in subdivision (e). This includes kitchen faucets, bathroom
<br />faucets, and any other end-use devices intended to convey or
<br />dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking,
<br />but excludes service saddles, backflow preventers for nonpotable
<br />services such as irrigation and industrial, and water distribution main
<br />gate valves that are two inches in diameter and above.
<br />(2) Pipes, pipe or plumbing fittings, or fixtures that are used in
<br />manufacturing, industrial processing, for irrigation purposes, and any
<br />other uses where the water is not intended for human consumption
<br />through drinking or cooking are not subject to the requirements of
<br />paragraph (1).
<br />(3) For all purposes other than manufacturing, industrial processing,
<br />or to convey or dispense water for human consumption, lead free is
<br />defined in subdivision (f).
<br />(c) No person engaged in the business of selling plumbing supplies,
<br />except manufacturers, shall sell solder or flux that is not lead free.
<br />(d) No person shall introduce into commerce any solder or flux that is
<br />not lead free unless the solder or flux bears a prominent label stating
<br />that it is illegal to use the solder or flux in the installation or repair of
<br />any plumbing providing water for human consumption.
<br />(e) For the purposes of this section, lead free means not more than
<br />0.2 percent lead when used with respect to solder and flux and not
<br />more than a weighted average of 0.25 percent when used with
<br />respect to the wetted surfaces of pipes and pipe fittings, plumbing
<br />fittings, and fixtures. The weighted average lead content of a pipe
<br />and pipe fitting, plumbing fitting, and fixture shall be calculated by
<br />using the following formula: The percentage of lead content within
<br />each component that comes into contact with water shall be multiplied
<br />by the percent of the total wetted surface of the entire pipe and pipe
<br />fitting, plumbing fitting, or fixture represented in each component
<br />containing lead. These percentages shall be added and the sum
<br />shall constitute the weighted average lead content of the pipe and
<br />pipe fitting, plumbing fitting, or fixture.
<br />(f) For the purposes of paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), lead free,
<br />consistent with the requirements of federal law, means not more than
<br />0.2 percent lead when used with respect to solder and flux and not

<br />fittings. With respect to plumbing fittings and fixtures, lead free
<br />means not more than 4 percent by dry weight after August 6, 2002,
<br />unless the department has adopted a standard, based on health
<br />effects, for the leaching of lead.
<br />(g)(1) All pipe, pipe or plumbing fittings or fixtures, solder, or flux shall
<br />be certified by an independent American National Standards Institute

<br />(2)(A) The certification described in paragraph (1) shall, at a
<br />minimum, include testing of materials in accordance with the
<br />protocols used by the Department of Toxic Substances Control in
<br />implementing Article 10.1.2 (commencing with Section 25214.4.3 ) of
<br />Chapter 6.5 of Division 20.
<br />(B) The certification required pursuant to this subdivision shall not
<br />interfere with either the department's exercise of its independent
<br />authority to protect public health pursuant to this section, or the
<br />Department of Toxic Substances Control's exercise of its independent
<br />authority to implement Article 10.1.2 (commencing with Section
<br />25214.4.3 ) of Chapter 6.5 of Division 20.
<br />(3) It is the intent of the Legislature that this subdivision only provide
<br />guidance and assistance to the entities that use an independent ANSI
<br />accredited third party to demonstrate compliance with this section.
<br />Any tests developed by an independent ANSI accredited third party in
<br />accordance with this subdivision shall have no weight of authority
<br />under California statute.
<br />(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the department shall retain its
<br />independent authority in administering this article.
<br />(h) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2010. The
<br />requirement described in subdivision (g) shall not be construed in any
<br />manner as to justify a delay in compliance with the lead-free standard
<br />set forth in subdivision (e).
