The meeting point for drinking water compliance and access to the European market
As requirements for materials and products used in drinking water applications become increasingly harmonised across Europe, the need for guidance and expert support continues to grow. Manufacturers, suppliers and international companies are facing the challenge of understanding new regulatory requirements and integrating them into product development and market entry strategies at an early stage.
The Drinking Water Compliance Forum in Hall 4.1 addresses these challenges by creating a central meeting point at ISH 2027 for professional exchange on drinking water compliance and access to the European market.
Developed in close cooperation with figawa as the Forum's technical partner, the Drinking Water Compliance Forum brings together manufacturers with certification bodies, testing laboratories, consulting companies and other specialised organisations. Its objective is to foster direct dialogue, provide guidance on regulatory requirements and connect companies with the right partners.
Knowledge, exchange and the right contacts
The forum combines expert knowledge sharing with personal dialogue and targeted networking. A varied programme of concise expert presentations, panel discussions and practical examples provides insights into current developments in European requirements for materials and products that come into contact with drinking water.
Open networking areas, meeting facilities and presentation spaces provide room for more in-depth discussions. Companies with specific questions can meet experts who support them with testing, certification, the interpretation of regulatory requirements and market access. The association figawa plays a key role in shaping the forum's programme. Drawing on many years of experience at the interface between industry, certification bodies, public authorities and standardisation organisations, figawa ensures that current developments are addressed and that the relevant stakeholders are brought together.
