FUTURE-READY MATERIALS

PIPETEC relies on advanced material concepts to ensure maximum safety and long-term sustainability in drinking water applications.

These include:

  • lead-free and low-lead alloys
  • PPSU high-performance plastics
  • advanced sealing technologies
  • high corrosion resistance
  • excellent hygienic properties
  • durable and safe material solutions

During 2026, our drinking water systems will be transitioned from CW617N to the low-lead alloy CW510L.

With this advancement, PIPETEC is already laying the foundation today for future European requirements in drinking water applications and reinforcing its commitment to providing modern, future-ready system solutions for European installation technology.

Future-Ready Drinking Water Installation

Only EU-DWD-Compliant Materials from January 1, 2027

The European Drinking Water Directive (EU-DWD) defines uniform requirements across Europe for materials and products that come into contact with drinking water. Its objective is to improve drinking water hygiene and ensure the long-term use of materials that are safe for human health.

PIPETEC is already consistently aligning its material strategy with these future requirements. As of January 1, 2027, we will supply drinking water products exclusively in materials that comply with the requirements of the EU Drinking Water Directive.

This means our systems will meet the requirements of the German Environment Agency’s Assessment Basis for Metallic Materials in Contact with Drinking Water (BWGL) ahead of schedule. The BWGL defines which metallic materials are approved for contact with drinking water. Through the consistent use of low-lead and lead-free materials, our products are already prepared for future requirements well before the January 12, 2028 deadline.

While the legal transition periods would allow for a later changeover, PIPETEC is implementing the new requirements more than one year earlier. As a result, our customers benefit from maximum investment, planning, and product security, along with the confidence that they are already choosing future-ready drinking water systems today.
