The EU Positive List of the DWD is an authoritative licensing list established under Article 11 of Directive (EU) 2020/2184 (DWD). It clearly specifies the substances and their permitted proportions that can be used in materials or products intended to come into contact with drinking water for human consumption. The list covers various materials, including organic, metallic, cement-based, ceramic, and inorganic substances, and imposes strict regulations on their usage conditions and migration limits. Its purpose is to ensure the chemical safety of drinking water at the source.
