European Brass Rod fabricators met in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the 16th and 17th of October, at the autumn meeting of the IWCC Brass Rod Committee. The topics covered in the meeting included:

  • An update on the work being done around lead free brass regulations in Europe, including the Drinking Water Directive, RoHS, IUCLID and the Umbrella Project.
  • A review of IWCC European and global statistics for brass rod production and demand.
  • Members received an update on IWCC engagement and communications with OEMS and discussed potential future downstream activities.

The meeting was also an opportunity to meet colleagues and network. A committee dinner at was held the night before the meeting, giving members the chance to catch up and network with friends across the industry.

We would like to thank all IWCC members present for supporting the event. We look forward to our next meeting in Istanbul on the 21st and 22nd of May 2025.
