From 31 December 2026, the harmonised EU rules for materials in contact with drinking water under the Drinking Water Directive (Directive (EU) 2020/2184) start to apply. The European Positive Lists (EUPL, Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/367) are becoming the gateway to the EU market, and the first deadlines are close: renewal applications for entries expiring in 2028 must be submitted by July 2027. 

To help companies understand what this means for their portfolio, ARCHE Consulting is organising a free online webinar, "EU Drinking Water Directive: is your material ready for the new requirements?", on 26 November 2026 from 14:00 to 15:30 CET. 

Our experts will explain who is affected, how to check European Positive List entries, when a notification, renewal or new application is needed, and how to build an efficient compliance strategy. There will be time for questions.
