Advantages for producers

– visibility, uniform standards, and quality

The DK-VAND certification acts as documentation that all products in contact with drinking water are certified according to applicable regulations. The security thus provided also benefits the producer. 

 

Documented quality

A product with a DK-VAND certification has undergone a series of migration analyses, and an independent inspection committee has carried out a production inspection. All DK-VAND certified products conform to the strictest regulations applicable. The certification also acts as documentation of uniform quality of all products used in a drinking water installation.  

 

Visibility

The DK-VAND label is the visible proof of DK-VAND certification, allowing the producer to market the product as conforming to particularly strict requirements in terms of the release of harmful substances, tastes, or smells. 

For tenders the producer will be able to document that the product is certified according to the strictest local requirements.  

Uniform standards

DK-VAND ensures that standards are kept uniform, i.e. that utility companies can have standardized requirements for products. In this way, contractors and others do not need an in-depth understanding of various product requirements, and producers can be certain that all shipments of the product in question are covered by the same toxicology report and testing programme.

 

Safeguarding Danish drinking water

Extracted directly from the underground, Denmark’s drinking water ranks among the cleanest in the world. Our requirements for products used in the drinking water supply are therefore very strict. A product with the DK-VAND certification is tested and produced according to the strictest standards anywhere. 

DK-VAND is a certification scheme documenting that certified products live up to the high Danish standards.
