Here we provide information on the substances contained in our materials in accordance with our duty to inform:

• Products made of gunmetal and copper alloys (brass parts) contain more than 0.1% of the substance: lead, CAS number: 7439 - 92 -1

No special precautions are required when handling these products when used as intended.

The composition of our gunmetal and copper alloys complies with legal requirements. The elemental contents of lead (Pb) and other substances such as nickel (Ni) have been strictly limited for many years so that the materials safely meet the migration requirements of the Drinking Water Directive. Test series in accredited laboratories over the last few years have sufficiently confirmed these results. The tests have shown that after a short running-in period of the installation, the measured value for Pb is below 5 μg/litre.
