All RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers drinking water contact materials are designed to be compliant to the national requirements for potable water and meet the current regulations for food contact use (EU/FDA).

 

Although test methods and requirements can vary between different approval agencies, compliance is commonly tested based on stability in water at determined temperature by measuring the release of inorganic and organic substances due the migration in water from compounds as well as evaluating water odour, flavour and colour.

RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers materials are approved by regulatory authorities based on grades, colour and sometimes the manufacturing site. Agency approval certification documents can be used by potable water equipment suppliers to facilitate potable water compliance of the final product. It is the responsibility of our customers to test and certify conformity of their products for the specific end –use.
