From 2 May 2026, all products that deliver drinking water must comply with The New Zealand Building Code’s Acceptable Solution G12/AS1 to limit the amount of lead content permitted in plumbing products. You can read more about this regulation here.

Amendment 14 to the Acceptable Solution introduces new requirements for plumbing products that must be met from 2 May 2026:

  • Maximum lead content: Any copper alloy product used in contact with drinking water must contain no more than 0.25% lead. This includes pipe fittings, valves, taps, mixers, water heaters and water meters.
  • DZR copper alloy requirement: Any copper alloy component that is in contact with drinking water and subject to hydrostatic pressure must be made from dezincification-resistant (DZR) copper alloy.

No. Lead free products work the same way as traditional ones do – the difference being is they’re being created using safer materials that meet the new standards.
