Consultancy - European Approval Systems

National schemes to approve and certify products for use in contact with drinking water have evolved independently in European countries and consequently differ in many ways.

Aimed at helping manufacturers and suppliers apply for product approvals, WRc-NSF has prepared, on behalf of the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate, an inventory of the different schemes in EU, EFTA and new accession countries.

This revised edition now includes a section on the development of the European Acceptance Scheme (EAS).

This invaluable digest will also be of interest to regulatory and approval bodies, as well as water suppliers and other users, to assess the relevance of individual approvals to their situation.

The inventory guides the reader through the different regulatory regimes operating in each country and clearly describes:
       The scope of the approvals system
       The details of bodies carrying out testing and certification
       The details of the body issuing approval certificates
       How to apply for approval
       The testing requirements
       The basis for awarding approvals
       Arrangements for recognising approvals issued in other countries.

The inventory will be an invaluable aid to manufacturers and suppliers of water supply products.

The inventory is available at £45.00.
