EUROPEAN DRINKING WATER

EU-wide material and product requirements for safe drinking water in Europe

„One standard, one test, accepted everywhere in Europe“ for materials and products in contact with drinking water

Common quality standards for drinking water products are essential for ensuring safe drinking water. A continuous supply of hygienic drinking water to the population is a basic requirement for a modern and functional society.

The materials used in the distribution systems, which are in direct contact with the drinking water on its way from the treatment facilities to the consumers, are particularly important.
