Are you involved in the Drinking Water Directive (DWD) application process or the assessment of hygiene aspects of materials that are in contact with drinking water? This webinar offers a detailed overview of ECHA's guidance on the new requirements for ensuring the safety of chemicals under the DWD.

The webinar will focus on the process for submitting DWD applications, including the adoption of the first European positive lists for starting substances, compositions, and constituents.

Participants will also gain insights into the information requirements for DWD notifications of intention and applications, along with practical advice on how to navigate these requirements.
