Found this post by Pintoshine today on AD and thought it was worth having here.......I dont know if the same applies to brass fittings imported to Australia or not.

:clap:

I like this post by Pint.

Wonder if anyone would like to research how our laws compare here in Oz ???

This is one question I can answer with certainity. I posted the info in the Safety Discussion section a few weeks ago.

All brass fittings made or imported into Australia for use with potable (drinking) and domestic tank water are manufactured in accordance with Australian Standard AS3688. It allows a maximum lead content of 1%. I confirmed this with a major Australian manufacturer. Drainage and waste water brass fittings have a far higher lead content.
