Suzaku measurements of a homogeneous metal distribution of Z ~ 0:3 Solar in the outskirts of the nearby Perseus cluster suggest that chemical elements were deposited and mixed into the intergalactic medium before clusters formed, likely over 10 billion years ago. A key prediction of this early enrichment scenario is that the intracluster medium in all massive clusters should be uniformly enriched to a similar level. Here, we confirm this prediction by determining the iron abundances in the outskirts (r > 0:25r200) of a sample of ten other nearby galaxy clusters observed with Suzaku for which robust measurements based on the Fe-K lines can be made. Across our sample the iron abundances are consistent with a constant value, ZFe = 0:316 ± 0:012 Solar (Χ² = 28:85 for 25 degrees of freedom). This is remarkably similar to the measurements for the Perseus cluster of ZFe = 0:314±0:012 Solar, using the Solar abundance scale of Asplund et al. (2009).
