Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/371 of 23 January 2024 supplementing Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing harmonised specifications for the marking of products that come into contact with water intended for human consumption

1 The marking referred to in Article 11(11) of Directive (EU) 2020/2184 (the ‘marking’) shall include the symbol reproduced in the Annex. The symbol shall be at least 5 mm high. Where the symbol of the minimum size cannot be affixed on the product, it shall be affixed to the packaging and to the documentation. The symbol shall be indelible and visibly affixed to one or more surfaces of the product, on any technical and administrative documents accompanying the product (the ‘documentation’) and on the packaging of the product.

2 The marking on the documentation and on the packaging of the product shall also include the following information text: ‘SUITABLE FOR DRINKING WATER’.

3 The information text referred to in paragraph 2 shall be clearly visible and shall be placed below the symbol, in upper case and in Helvetica Bold with a minimum font size of 5 mm. The information text affixed on the documentation shall be written in the official languages of the Member State where the product is placed on the market unless that Member State provides otherwise. The information text affixed on the packaging shall be written in at least one of the official languages of the Member State where the product is placed on the market. Additional languages may be used for the information text than those required in this paragraph provided that the same information appears in all languages used. Where the information text is translated into another language than the required languages referred to in this paragraph, the translated text shall be placed below the information text in those required languages.

4 The colour and presentation of the marking shall be such that the symbol stands out clearly.

5 Other labelling may be affixed to the product, documentation and packaging provided that the visibility, legibility and meaning of the marking is not impaired.

6 All elements of the marking shall be located close to the other labelling on the product, on the documentation and on the packaging.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 31 December 2026.
