Abstract
The quality of the water intended for human consumption is regulated through the Directive 98/83/EC (Drinking Water Directive). Products used in the construction of water supply systems can cause significant deterioration of the water quality and therefore many Member States operate national acceptance schemes for these products. These products are covered by the Directive 89/106/EEC (Construction Products Directive) which calls for the preparation of European specifications for construction products and the approximation of the regulatory provisions of the Member States.
In order to minimise the differences in the national regulatory provisions and to enable the elaboration of European specifications for construction products in contact with water for human consumption, the regulatory authorities of the Member States have agreed to establish a European Acceptance Scheme (EAS) for construction products.
