Metal materials and products intended for use in production, distribution and treatment facilities that come into contact with water intended for human consumption

Order on metal materials and products intended for use in production, distribution and treatment facilities that come into contact with water intended for human consumption

This draft order, enacted pursuant to Article R1321-48 of the Public Health Code, sets out the requirements to be met by metal materials and products that come into contact with water intended for human consumption to ensure they are safe. It also lays down the type of evidence for demonstrating their safety.

In this sense, the order establishes a list of materials authorised to manufacture metal products in contact with water intended for human consumption according to their surface in contact with water.

In addition, the person responsible for placing on the market the metal materials and products intended for use in production, distribution and treatment facilities for water intended for human consumption, before placing them on the market, must provide the general information, characteristics of the product and documents demonstrating that health regulations have been complied with.

Specifically, these provisions apply to economic operators involved in the placing on the market and use of metal materials and objects, particularly manufacturers, importers and distributors, and those responsible for producing, distributing and treating water intended for human consumption.
