About Products for Drinking Water

The Products for Drinking Water scheme will support compliance by providing awareness of the relevant water regulations which require  that all chemicals, materials and components in contact with drinking water need  to be approved and tested to confirm they do not compromise water quality.

This scheme is appropriate for operatives, supervisors and management  and is aimed at water industry personnel involved in activities associated with drinking water. This will include employees in operations, developer services, capital and procurement, supply chain contractors and consultants. 

Once you have successfully completed your Products for Drinking Water training and assessment, you will understand the vital part you play in  complying with regulations and protecting public health.

What’s covered?

The Products for Drinking Water scheme is developed in collaboration with UK water companies and key stakeholders from across the water industry, so you can be confident that the content covers all the required knowledge and awareness of  the relevant regulations and their application in drinking water.
