Manufacturers of drinking water components: Is your production ready to handle more parts to be marked?
The new European requirements expand the scope: all parts in contact with drinking water must ensure clear, durable, and permanent marking.
From December 31, 2026, parts for new installations or repairs must indelibly display the official symbol (min. 5 mm height) *.
Valves, fittings, taps, meters, pumps, pipelines, and sanitary equipment: the main challenge will be maintaining compliance while increasing marking volumes.
Gravotech supports you with:
🔹 laser marking, for precise, high-contrast, and aesthetic marking on visible parts;
🔹 dot peen marking, for deep and durable marking.
Our marking solutions can be used as standalone machines or integrated seamlessly into your production lines.
The regulation sets the deadlines. The real challenge is adapting your production in time.

*Where the symbol of the minimum size cannot be affixed on the product, it must appear on the packaging and accompanying documentation.
