Stainless steel products play an active role in improving the hygiene in restaurants, public kitchen, schools, local health centers etc. This is so, especially in emerging markets such as India, Mexico, China and the likes (Developing countries).

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is becoming part of the toolbox of those interested in progressing towards sustainability. The development of ISO standards (the 14040 series) has brought necessary rigor to how LCA can be approached even as the significance of the results (and how those results are used) remains controversial. It is generally accepted, however, that LCA has a role to play. Moreover, the data upon which LCA must be based -- the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data -- is useful in its own right.

Society had become increasingly concerned with the health of the natural environment and the role of materials in impacting the ecosystem. The recognition of and response to environmental concerns is often called "greening." The "greenness" or quality of environmental performance is leading some to consider this in materials selection.

This paper summarizes the basic requirements of the material in potable water applications. The paper was produced by The Steel Construction Institute (SCI) on behalf of the British Stainless Steel Association (BSSA). It has been accepted as a code of practice in the UK, but is also useful as an advisory technical document beyond the national context.
