Annex G is neither performance nor prescriptive in nature. While it does not match the leachate performance of the regular sections of Std 61, it restricts lead content, but allows for a variety of means with which to comply. This is flexible enough for me to prefer inclusion in Std. 61. Note that most certifiers already prohibit hose, plastic and elastomer formulations which contain lead.
Plumbing Codes already require compliance with Std 61. I expect requirements similar or the same as California to be very common, and placing Annex G in Std 61 will keep things simpler than referencing a separate standard in the Codes.
