What is the EU Drinking Water Directive?
Directive (EU) 2020/2184 establishes a harmonised EU-wide system for materials and products in contact with drinking water. Articles 11&12 introduce specific obbligations for manufacturers, including compliance with the European Positive List (EUPL), structured conformity assessment procedures and documentation requirements. The aim is to ensure a high level of protection of human health and full transparency across the supply chain. Understanding whether your substances and products are affected is now essential to ensure continuity of supply and future market access.
