In Germany, plastic products of all kinds as well as rubber products that come into contact with drinking water must meet the hygienic and toxicological requirements of the guidelines of the Federal Environment Agency test (UBA). This is described in the elastomer guideline as well as in the KTW guideline.

Safeguard approved construction products continue measuring up to the requirements with inspection by an independent inspection body. Kiwa Sverige AB is accepted in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden for conducting inspection for; GDV, SINTEF, STF and VA.

The KIWA-UNI mark certifies the conformity of plastic and metal components in contact with water and gas to national and international standards.

The NKB toxicological tests carried out in Kiwa laboratories, which are necessary to prove the compliance of products in contact with drinking water with the safety requirements in force in Northern Europe, are useful to measure the release levels of heavy metals.

The NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification mark provided by Kiwa identifies the strict compliance of municipal water supply products, plumbing products, including individual components and materials.
