Temporary Drinking Water Installations (BRL-K14036)

Based on the Evaluation Guideline for Temporary Drinking Water Installations (BRL-K14036) Kiwa issues certificates to installers who design, construct, operate and manage temporary drinking water installations. Subsequently certified installers may, under condition, issue the Kiwa declaration “Safe drinking water venue” for venues under contract. That condition is that the certificate holder is mandated by the organizer to inspect all installations/equipment connected to his installation and can give compulsory instructions to the owners/operators thereof, in the interest of drinking water safety at the venue.

For who?

BRL-K14036 is relevant to installers, event organizers, authorities, municipalities, water companies.

For drinking water installations that will be removed after a certain time on locations where there is no or limited access to drinking water facilities like water taps, wash-stands, toilets and/or showers. For example festivals, sports events, exhibitions, fairs, circuses etc.

Retaining a certified installer gives authorities, event organizers and visitors trust that the drinking water at the venue can be used safely.  And with the certificate installers can distinguish themselves on the market.

    Kiwa sends a quotation according to the requirements in the guideline, which is at the same time a concept-agreement
    After mutual signing of the quotation, the agreement is definitive
    The initial audit can start
    After positive results of the initial audit, the certificate will be issued
    The certificate is valid indefinitely
    A part of the agreement is periodic audits

Important aspects of the initial audit (steps 3 and 4) include:
a. Audits of projects carried out by the applicant in order to demonstrate that the projects meet the certification requirements;
b. Assessment of the quality system and internal quality control (IQC) scheme. To ascertain that the installer is continually able to carry out projects that meet the certification requirements.

The yearly office audits aim at the maintenance of the management system, in order to maintain confidence that the certificate holder is still able to carry out projects that meet the certification requirements.

Conditions for the certification process are stated in the Kiwa Regulations for Product Certification and the General Terms and Conditions of Kiwa for the performance of orders.
