BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsforordningen)

(1) Article 11 of Directive (EU) 2020/2184 requires Member States to ensure that certain materials that come into contact with water intended for human consumption do not directly or indirectly compromise the protection of human health, adversely affect the colour, odour or taste of the water, enhance microbial growth, or leach contaminants into the water at levels that are higher than necessary in view of the intended purpose of the material.
 

(2) In accordance with Article 11(11) of the Directive (EU) 2020/2184, the Commission is to adopt delegated acts to establish harmonised specifications for a conspicuous, clearly legible and indelible marking to be used to indicate that a product that comes into contact with water intended for human consumption is in conformity with Article 11 of that Directive. A product for which a EU declaration of conformity has been issued in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) …/… [OP: please fill in the reference of C(2024)241] is to be accompanied by the marking established in this Regulation.
 

(3) The harmonised specifications for the position and design of the marking apply to products that are intended to be used in new installations or, in the case of repairs works or reconstruction, in existing installations for the abstraction, treatment, storage or distribution of water intended for human construction and that are intended to come into contact with such water.
 

(4) In order to be sufficiently visible and clearly identified, a minimum size for the marking should be set out and the marking should be composed of a symbol and an information text.
