Project Reference: Drinking Water Pipeline Project in Denmark

In a recent drinking water pipeline project in Denmark, the client specifically required pressure reducing valves certified with both WRAS and ACS to ensure compliance with international potable water standards.

The RET model not only fulfilled these dual certification requirements but also provided full compliance with PED 2014/68/EU and EC 1935/2004 standards.

Throughout the project, the RET model delivered exceptional pressure stability and corrosion resistance, contributing to the long-term safety and cleanliness of the drinking water supply. Its robust construction minimized maintenance needs and replacement frequency, enhancing system reliability and operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Direct Acting Pressure Reducing Valve

Q1: Why is having both WRAS and ACS certifications beneficial?

Having WRAS and ACS certifications means the valve meets potable water safety standards in both the UK and French markets, offering wider acceptance and flexibility for international projects.

Q2: What does PED 2014/68/EU certification guarantee?

PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) certification ensures the valve can safely withstand pressure without risk of leaks or failure and is mandatory for CE marking and sale within the EU.

Q3: When is EC 1935/2004 certification required?

EC 1935/2004 is required for valves used in food and beverage processing, ensuring that no harmful substances migrate from materials in contact with consumables.
