Overview

EN 806-1:2000/A1:2001 is a European Standard developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that specifies general requirements for installations inside buildings conveying water for human consumption. This standard is part 1 of the EN 806 series and provides foundational guidelines and specifications for the safe and efficient design, installation, and operation of internal water supply systems. It ensures that water installations comply with health and safety regulations and maintain water quality for drinking purposes throughout building systems.

This amendment, A1:2001, modifies the original EN 806-1:2000 and was approved by CEN in June 2001. Its adoption is mandatory for CEN member countries by February 2002, with conflicting national standards to be withdrawn by the end of 2004. The standard covers critical aspects of water installations to ensure reliability, hygiene, and user safety.

Key Topics

• Scope of Installations: Defines the extent of water supply systems inside buildings, covering pipes, fittings, and components used for conveying drinking water.
• General Requirements: Addresses essential design principles, installation practices, and operational considerations to maintain water quality and safety.
• Water Quality Protection: Specifies measures to prevent contamination or deterioration of water intended for human consumption.
• Safety Measures: Includes guidelines on security groups and relevant symbols to ensure proper safety installations.
• Point of Delivery Clarifications: Details variability in points of delivery between main water supply and individual buildings, supporting flexible design approaches.
• Standard Harmonization: Ensures compatibility of this standard with related CEN regulations and facilitates its implementation across European countries.

Applications

EN 806-1:2000/A1:2001 is critical for professionals involved in:

• Building Design and Construction: Architects and engineers use this standard to design water installation systems that comply with health and safety guidelines.
• Plumbing Installation: Plumbers and contractors apply these specifications to ensure correct installation practices for potable water systems inside residential, commercial, and public buildings.
• Water Supply Management: Facility managers and maintenance teams rely on the standard to maintain water system integrity and ensure continuous supply of safe drinking water.
• Regulatory Compliance: Authorities use EN 806-1 to benchmark national regulations against European best practices for water installations.
• Water Quality Assurance: Ensures that internal water systems do not compromise water safety, helping to safeguard public health.

Related Standards

For a comprehensive approach to water installation systems inside buildings, EN 806-1:2000/A1:2001 should be used in conjunction with:

• EN 806 Series: Covers additional parts detailing pipes, components, testing, maintenance, and more detailed specifications for water installations.
• ISO 6412-1: Relates to symbols for security groups referenced within the standard for safety classification.
• National Building and Plumbing Codes: Local regulations harmonized under CEN obligations.
• European Drinking Water Directives: Ensure that the installations comply with broader water quality and safety laws within the European Union.
