Transition to lead-free plumbing products extended
NCC 2022 outlined sizable changes for what will be allowable lead content for plumbing materials in Australia. Building Ministers have agreed to an extended roll-out timeline so these changes won’t come into effect until May 2026.
It is important that Australian plumbers get to know how these new regulations will affect them as soon as possible. When should products be lead-free? How quickly will products change? What are my responsibilities? These are just a few questions you may have about what’s happening with lead-free products in the coming years.
When the new changes take effect, all plumbing products will need to be Watermark-certified. This article will run through all the essential information for every plumber.
