Domestic appliances used for drinking water treatment not connected to water supply - Jug water filter systems - Safety and performance requirements, labeling and information to be supplied

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.
Delete Note 3:
"NOTE 3      An amendment is being prepared with the following scope: This Amendment provides a validated test method using Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) as a bacterial indicator in addition to the test procedure using E. Coli.".
In NOTE 2, replace "standard" with "document.

Leitungsungebundene Haushaltsgeräte zur Behandlung von Trinkwasser - Haushaltswasserfiltersysteme - Sicherheits- und Leistungsanforderungen, Kennzeichnung und mitzuliefernde Informationen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Spezifikationen und Prüfverfahren für leitungsunabhängige, als Kannen-filtersysteme bekannte, schwerkraftgetriebene Einrichtungen für die Nachbehandlung von Trinkwasser fest. Es legt auch die Mindestanforderungen für die Bedienungsanleitung fest, damit die Kannenfiltersysteme ordnungsgemäß betrieben und gewartet werden können. Kannenfiltersysteme dienen lediglich der Nachbehandlung von Trinkwasser und sind nicht zur Herstellung von Trinkwasser aus nicht trinkbarem Wasser ausgelegt. Der Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments erstreckt sich nicht auf Kombinationssysteme, die eine Stromversorgung benötigen, wie z. B. Wassererhitzer oder Wasserkühlungssysteme.
ANMERKUNG 1   Obwohl Kannenfiltersysteme in den Geltungsbereich des weitgehend harmonisierten Lebensmittelrechts (EU Verordnungen 178/2002 und 1935/2004) fallen, sind bestehende nationale Vorschriften für den Betrieb beziehungsweise die Eigenschaften dieser Produkte weiterhin in Kraft.
ANMERKUNG 2   Diese Norm enthält keine Informationen darüber, ob das Produkt in einem der Mitgliedstaaten der EU oder der EFTA uneingeschränkt verwendet wird.

Appareils domestiques de traitement de l'eau non connectés au réseau d'alimentation en eau - Systèmes de carafes filtrantes d'eau - Exigences de sécurité et de performance, étiquetage et informations à fournir

Le présent document décrit les spécifications et les méthodes d’essai applicables aux dispositifs alimentés par gravité destinés au conditionnement de l’eau potable qui ne sont pas connectés au réseau d’alimentation en eau dans les bâtiments, connus sous le nom de systèmes de carafes filtrantes d’eau. Il donne également des instructions relatives au mode d’emploi, afin que le système de carafe filtrante d’eau puisse être utilisé et entretenu correctement. Les systèmes de carafes filtrantes d'eau sont destinés à modifier les propriétés de l'eau potable seulement et ne sont pas conçus pour rendre potable une eau qui ne le serait pas. Le domaine d’application du présent document ne s’étend pas aux systèmes combinés nécessitant une alimentation électrique telle que des bouilloires et des fontaines à eau.
NOTE 1   Bien que les systèmes de carafes filtrantes d’eau soient couverts par la législation alimentaire harmonisée (Règlements CE n° 178/2002 et 1935/2004), des réglementations nationales existantes concernant l’utilisation et/ou les caractéristiques de ces produits restent en vigueur.
NOTE 2   Aucune information n'est fournie par la présente norme sur les éventuelles restrictions d'utilisation du produit dans un des États membres de l'UE ou de l'AELE.

Overview

SIST EN 17093:2018/oprA1:2020 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies safety and performance requirements for jug water filter systems-domestic appliances used for drinking water treatment that are not connected to mains water supply. These gravity-fed devices are designed to condition potable water in residential settings without electrical power. The standard also outlines labeling and user information to ensure safe use and proper maintenance.

This document applies exclusively to jug water filter systems intended to improve the properties of drinking water but not to render non-potable water safe for consumption. It excludes any combination systems that require electrical power, such as water heaters or water coolers. While harmonized EU food regulations apply, national rules on product use and characteristics may still govern.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  Defines jug water filter systems as gravity-fed devices for conditioning drinking water not connected to mains supply. Emphasizes that these systems are not for treating non-potable or unsafe water.

• Safety Requirements
  Ensures that materials and construction do not pose health risks or compromise water quality during use.

• Performance Criteria
  Establishes testing methods to confirm filtration effectiveness, durability, and reliable operation under typical household conditions.

• Labeling and User Information
  Sets out requirements for clear product labeling and comprehensive user manuals. This includes instructions on proper use, maintenance, filter replacement guidelines, and manufacturer contact details.

• Exclusions
  Clarifies that electrically powered or combination treatment devices are outside the scope.

• Regulatory Notes
  Highlights compliance with EU food legislation (Regulations 178/2002 and 1935/2004) but notes that national regulations remain applicable. Does not confirm unrestricted product use in all EU or EFTA member states.

Applications

• Household Drinking Water Conditioning
  Accurately targets use in domestic environments for personal and family consumption.

• Non-Mains Water Sources
  Applicable for use with water supplies unconnected to building infrastructure, such as bottled or stored water needing quality enhancement.

• Water Quality Improvement
  Addresses modification of taste, odor, chlorine levels, and sediment through filtration without electrical input.

• Consumer Safety Assurance
  Helps manufacturers design products that meet rigorous health and safety criteria, enhancing consumer confidence.

• Instructional Clarity
  Improves end-user experience via standardized user manuals covering installation, operation, and maintenance.

Related Standards

• EU Food Safety Regulations

  • Regulation (EC) 178/2002 - General Food Law
  • Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 - Materials in Contact with Food

• Domestic Water Treatment Device Standards
