PVC pipe stands out as one of the most secure and extensively examined materials employed in North America. Over a span of 70 years, every facet of its manufacturing, application, and disposal has undergone scrutiny and endorsement from both governmental and independent certification and testing organizations.
This material not only fulfills but often surpasses all essential health and safety standards dictated by the U.S. and Canadian Safe Drinking Water Acts, along with other international regulations. Oversight of its usage is maintained by independent entities such as NSF International, while government bodies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ensure its safety through mandatory, routine testing.
