Note 1: Explanation of the notes in Tables 1 and 2 The meaning of the note provided in Tables 1 and 2 is as follows: A. Metallic composition category means a group of metallic compositions with the same metallic composition constituents, the same behaviour in contact with water intended for human consumption and the same restrictions with regard to water composition and/or surface area. A category has a reference material(s) with a controlled composition for which the metal releases are known and reproducible and represents the reasonable worst-case metal releases for the category. They are identified in the ECHA guidance. 2. Note 2: MTC tap, metallics The MTC tap, metallics , used to assess the safety of the use of the compositions listed under Tables 1 and 2 are provided for information purposes under Annex V.
