Reduce complexity
An all-new shared reference point for efficient conformity assessment in the drinking water materials sector for the DWD and local schemes.
Fit4DW is a secure digital infrastructure that connects suppliers, manufacturers, laboratories and certification bodies around verified material and compliance information. It helps the sector move from fragmented exchanges to a single trusted reference point, reducing repetitive work, administrative friction, and uncertainty, while protecting sensitive supplier know-how.

Conformity assessment in the drinking water materials sector involves many stakeholders, strict requirements and sensitive information. This video shows how Fit4DW helps bring structure to that process by creating one secure environment for verified information, controlled access and more efficient collaboration across the chain.
Joined by leading stakeholders in the drinking water materials sector
From chasing information to working from one trusted reference point.
Fit4DW is more than a database. It functions as a digital nerve centre for the drinking water materials sector: a central platform where relevant material and compliance information can be organised, verified, reused and accessed in a controlled way. For manufacturers, the real challenge under the Drinking Water Directive is not only regulatory. It is operational. Critical information is often scattered across suppliers, laboratories, certification bodies and internal teams. That creates repeated requests, unclear verification status, delayed decisions and unpredictable timelines. Fit4DW helps solve this by creating one structured environment for verified information. This gives stakeholders more overview, supports better early decision-making and helps reduce friction across the conformity assessment process.

What Fit4DW does
Fit4DW connects key information flows across the drinking water materials chain.
The platform helps to:
- organise verified material and compliance information;
- reduce fragmented one-to-one exchanges;
- support reuse of relevant documentation and test information;
- protect supplier IP through controlled access;
- provide clearer insight into available certificates, reports and verification status;
- support more predictable conformity assessment processes.
What this delivers
Fit4DW helps stakeholders work from a shared reference point instead of separate files, repeated requests and disconnected communication.
This supports:
- earlier access to verified information;
- less back-and-forth between manufacturers, suppliers and assessment parties;
- fewer unnecessary repeated reviews or testing cycles;
- stronger protection of formulations and sensitive know-how;
- lower administrative workload;
- better-informed material and supplier choices;
- more predictable development and certification timelines.

Suppliers
Fit4DW helps suppliers protect formulations and other sensitive know-how while reducing the burden of repeated information-sharing requests. It enables compliance support without unnecessary exposure of IP.
The Industry
Fit4DW helps the industry move from fragmented exchanges to a more connected and workable system. It creates a shared operational foundation for better collaboration, more transparency, and greater readiness for the DWD.
Frequently asked questions about the platform
What is Fit4DW?
Fit4DW is a digital infrastructure for the drinking water sector that helps organizations manage, access, and reuse verified compliance information more efficiently. It connects suppliers, manufacturers, Notified Bodies, laboratories, certification bodies, and other stakeholders through one trusted environment.
Who is Fit4DW for?
Why was Fit4DW created?
Fit4DW was created to address one of the biggest challenges in the drinking water sector: managing compliance information across a fragmented supply chain.
Today, manufacturers, suppliers, laboratories, certification bodies, and Notified Bodies often exchange the same information multiple times, using different systems and processes. Fit4DW was developed to provide a trusted digital infrastructure where verified compliance information can be managed, shared, and reused more efficiently while protecting sensitive intellectual property.
