CEN/TC 426 - Project Committee - Appliances used for water treatment not connected to water supply
Standardization of requirements for safety, performance and labelling of water treatment like filtration, sparkling etc. appliances used in domestic and similar environment for which the intended use is the treatment of drinking water only. This Project Committee covers safety requirements and test methods for water treatment devices that are not connected to water supply in buildings and provides requirements and recommendations for instruction manuals, so that these appliances can be used and maintained properly. Appliances with heating water systems are excluded from the scope of this Project Committee

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This European Standard describes the specifications and test methods for gravity fed devices for conditioning of drinking water that are not connected to the mains water distribution system in buildings, known as jug water filter systems. It also gives instructions for the user manuals, so that the jug water filter system can be used and maintained properly. Jug water filter systems are intended to modify the properties of drinking water only, and are not designed to make non-potable water safe for drinking. The scope of this document does not extend to combination systems that require an electrical power supply such as water heaters and water coolers systems.
NOTE 1 Although jug water filter systems are covered by the widely harmonized food legislation (EU Regulations 178/2002 and 1935/2004), existing national regulations concerning the use and or the characteristics of these products remain in force
NOTE 2 This standard provides no information as to whether the product is used without restriction in any of the Member States of the EU or EFTA.
