Most traditional copper faucets contain excessive lead, which causes secondary pollution to drinking water, and causes great harm when absorbed into the human body, especially to children. It has caused widespread concern in the world. European and American countries are actively formulating relevant laws and my country is about to introduce national standards. Make strict limits on lead content.

Guanyan Tianxia industry analysts believe that since the current national standards for faucets do not make mandatory regulations on lead content and precipitation, the factory inspections of faucets sold in the domestic market do not use lead as the quality criterion. In order to ensure the safety of drinking water and promote industrial upgrading, the limitation of lead precipitation will become the key content of the new standard.

Traditional faucets are mostly made of brass. A certain amount of lead is added to the copper. Lead poisoning harms the human nerves, blood, bones, digestion, reproductive and other systems. It is especially harmful to children and seriously affects children’s mental and physical development. . With regard to the lead content of faucets, the United States has already signed the Lead-Free Act to implement more stringent regulations, stipulating that the lead content of faucets shall not exceed 0.25%. China is also about to introduce a national standard, which will strictly limit the lead content.

The collective upgrade of domestic and foreign standards will have a major impact on China's faucet manufacturing industry. Sanitary ware companies have invested in the research and development of lead-free faucet technology. At present, many brands such as Kohler, Supor, and toto have launched stainless steel faucets, and many brand faucets have also been transformed. There are more and more businesses in the market who want to operate stainless steel faucets. Although the current market share of stainless steel faucets is not high, stainless steel will gradually seize the copper faucet market regardless of the development direction of the overall bathroom or the development trend of the faucet industry. However, because the raw materials of stainless steel faucets are more expensive and the production process is very demanding, the overall price of the product is also higher, which also discourages many consumers from new products.

Guanyan Tianxia pointed out in the "China European-style Faucet Market Status Analysis and Development Trend Forecast Report 2013-2017": With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous improvement of people's living requirements, stainless steel faucets will receive more and more consumption Favorite. More companies put into production of stainless steel faucets and their technology will be further improved, and they will gradually replace copper faucets with their more advantageous features. Its outstanding environmental protection advantages indicate the coming of the stainless steel faucet era under the low-carbon economy, and the future market prospects are huge. .
