Fit4DW

Fit4DW materials database speeds up certification and ensures drinking water safety. Kiwa Netherlands and DVGW CERT, with the support from figawa, officially launched their Fit4DW materials database on 1st of July 2025. This innovative platform helps manufacturers, certification bodies and testing laboratories streamline the certification process for drinking water materials and comply with the European Drinking Water Directive (EU 2020/2184). Fit4DW provides comprehensive, verified information on raw materials and semi-finished products used in drinking water-related applications. By evaluating material formulations only once, the platform significantly reduces the need for repeated tests, cutting certification time by six to nine months. This results in time and cost savings for manufacturers while ensuring compliance with national and European regulations. We take a major step toward simplifying certification and ensuring safe, high-quality drinking water.
