	(b)  Only the following materials may be used in contact with drinking water in a public water system:  
		(1) material that is certified for the particular drinking water contact application under

		(2) material that, for the particular drinking water contact application, has a certification by NSF International (NSF) or Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL);  
		(3) material that the department approves for the particular drinking water contact application on a case-by-case basis, based on the department's determination that the public health will be adequately protected, and if  
			(A) material with a certification by NSF or UL is  
				(i) unavailable;  
				(ii) not certified for the particular application; or  
				(iii) not appropriate for the particular application because of climactic or other unique conditions at the point of application; and  
			(B) the person seeking approval of alternate material submits documentation on the suitability of the material for contact with drinking water in the particular application; if this documentation includes the weighted average lead content of a pipe, pipe fitting, plumbing fitting, or fixture, the weighted average lead content must be calculated using the formula set out in 18 AAC 80.500(c)(2).
