Drinking Water Ordinance 2023
The European Commission wants to continue to ensure the provision of high-quality drinking water, taking into account the latest scientific recommendations. Safe drinking water is essential for the health and well-being of the population. The new DWD 2020/2184 came into force in 2021 and had to be implemented in all EU member states by January 12, 2023.
The EU positive list (ECHA Material Positive List) and Article 11 of the Drinking Water Directive together ensure the safety and quality of drinking water. The positive list, which is managed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), contains approved substances for materials that come into contact with water. This list is set to come into force on December 31, 2026.
The directive sets a maximum permissible concentration for lead in drinking water of 5 micrograms per liter (μg/L) – half the previous limit of 10 μg/L. The long-term goal is to further reduce this limit.
The EU positive list applies to products that come onto the market after December 2026. Existing products that are approved at national level by this date must comply with the requirements of the German Drinking Water Ordinance by January 2032.
Manufacturers of products that come into contact with water (pipes, fittings, taps) are given clear limits and detailed guidelines for hygienically safe products. Products made from lead-containing alloys (brass, bronze, red brass) are particularly affected and must be converted to lead-free materials.
