There are only a few months remaining until the EU Minimum Hygiene Requirements (EU-MHR) under the recast EU Drinking Water Directive (DWD) take effect on 31 December 2026. Ensuring compliance with the new directive can be complex. This webinar will guide you through the critical elements of EU-MHR and how to successfully achieve certification with NSF.

Join our experts as we break down the technical requirements for EU-MHR, offering practical insights into key concepts such as material families, product types, conversion factors, and risk groups. If you are a manufacturer of plastic pipes, plumbing products and assemblies, or filtration products and systems, you’ll learn how requirements may differ based on the products you manufacture and supply.

We’ll also address key questions around EU Positive Lists - what they are, their expiration timelines - and how NSF Protocol 534 helps bridge gaps for products that use substances not currently included on these lists.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to work effectively with NSF for EU-MHR certification.
  • Key technical requirements and evaluation criteria for EU-MHR.
  • The role and importance of EU Positive Lists and NSF Protocol 534.
