Solder and Flux

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces a

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) prohibits the use or introduction

and flux that are not lead free. These revisions are necessary due to 
SDWA amendments enacted by Congress in the Reduction of Lead in 
Drinking Water Act of 2011 and the Community Fire Safety Act of 2013.
