NEN 1006 inspection

By conducting a thorough NEN 1006 inspection, we as a drinking water consultancy aim to proactively ensure the safety and compliance of drinking water installations in duty-of-care buildings.

The standard for a safe drinking water installation in duty-of-care buildings

To ensure compliance with the Drinking Water Act and the Drinking Water Decree, duty-of-care (non-priority) buildings—such as a sports club or office—are required to have an inspection carried out in accordance with NEN 1006.

We offer a comprehensive NEN 1006 inspection and assessment of your drinking water installation, performed by our BRL 6010-certified Solution Managers, to guarantee that your installation meets the legally established safety and hygiene standards.

The NEN 1006 inspection focuses on the overall safety of your drinking water installation and includes checking the design, installation, and management to prevent backflow of contaminated water and other risks of water contamination. We analyze the water installation, usage factors, and any previous modifications to the installation, with a focus on compliance with the standard.

When is NEN 1006 mandatory?

Owners or managers of a collective water supply are subject to the Drinking Water Act and the Drinking Water Decree. This makes them responsible for safe drinking water—including hot tap water. In accordance with the Building Decree, a drinking water and hot tap water supply must comply with the NEN 1006 regulations.

Is a NEN 1006 inspection also relevant for industrial companies?

Yes. Particularly in industrial environments, it is important to have insight into the condition of your drinking water installation. Due to complex installations, fluctuating usage, and critical processes, risks can arise more quickly. An inspection helps to detect these early and keep them under control.

Do you also carry out check valve inspections?

Absolutely. A proper check valve inspection is essential for ensuring safe and healthy drinking water.
