Dornbracht, the German-based kitchen and bath fittings
manufacturer, will fully comply with California’s
AB 1953 lead-free law, set to be enacted Jan. 1, 2010.
According
toJon Spector, president and CEO of Dornbracht Americas, “Dornbracht is
dedicated to producing premium-quality designs with maximum visual but minimal
environmental impact and, in fact, all of our kitchen and bath products sold in
North America will either meet or exceed the new limits for lead content
regulated by the state of California.”
The
new legislation states that the maximum allowable lead content in so-called
“lead-free” pipes, pipe or plumbing fittings and fixtures intended to convey or
dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking is .25
percent, as determined by a weighted average.
