Valves for water supply - Fitness for purpose requirements and appropriate verification tests - Part 1: General requirements
This European Standard defines the minimum fitness for purpose requirements for valves to be used in, or connected to, water supply pipe systems above or below ground (see prEN 805, including the meter valves), and also suitable for pipe systems carrying raw or treated water (e.g. for irrigation, for fire fighting).

Overview
EN 1074-1:2000 (CEN) - Valves for water supply - Fitness for purpose requirements and appropriate verification tests - Part 1: General requirements - sets out the minimum, generic requirements that valves must meet when used in or connected to water supply pipe systems above or below ground. The scope covers meter valves and valves for pipe systems conveying raw or treated water (for example, irrigation or fire‑fighting systems). EN 1074-1 defines general principles for fitness for purpose and indicates appropriate verification tests to demonstrate conformity.
Key topics and requirements
- Fitness for purpose: Establishes baseline performance expectations and functional criteria that valves must satisfy when installed in water supply systems.
- Verification tests: Describes the types of tests and assessments appropriate to verify valve performance and durability (flow control, leakage, operation under service conditions - general categories rather than specific test methods in this part).
- Application scope: Applies to valves above and below ground and includes valves used with meters and in systems carrying raw or treated water.
- Design and performance considerations: Addresses general aspects of valve suitability such as operational reliability, resistance to water quality effects, and compatibility with system installation and maintenance practices.
- Documentation and marking: Requires clear product identification and traceability to support specification, installation and compliance checking (general requirement level).
Applications
EN 1074-1 is used to:
- Specify minimum functional requirements for valves for water supply in project and procurement documents.
- Guide manufacturers in developing valve designs intended for potable, raw or treated water systems.
- Help test laboratories and conformity assessors determine appropriate verification procedures for valve fitness for purpose.
- Support water utilities, infrastructure owners and contractors in selecting valves for distribution, irrigation and fire‑fighting networks.
Who uses this standard
- Valve manufacturers and product designers
- Water utilities and network operators
- Consulting engineers and system specifiers
- Testing and certification bodies
- Procurement officers and contractors specifying valves for installation
Related standards
- Part of the EN 1074 series (other parts address specific valve types and testing details).
- Cross‑references to broader water supply standards such as prEN 805 (system requirements) for integration with supply infrastructure.
By following EN 1074-1:2000, stakeholders ensure valves meet basic fitness‑for‑purpose expectations and that appropriate verification tests are used to demonstrate reliable performance in water supply systems.
