To ensure compliance, each residential faucet is certified by an independent third party organization. The certification organization, NSF International, the public health and safety company, verifies all faucets meet the new requirements.
Each and every residential faucet shipped from Kohler meets the new requirements, not just those sent to Vermont and California. This strategy is part of an ongoing effort to stay on the leading edge of design and technology, and offer customers the high level of quality.
Over the past 18 months, customers, distributors and partners have been contacted about this transition over the past 18 months, and Kohler has provided updates on the product selection and low-lead conversion to provide visual confirmation its plumbing allies are informed about the lead issue, and equipped with the appropriate product. A half inch silver decal on each faucet box ensures customers that their faucet has been inspected and meets the new low-lead requirements.
