Recognition scheme for the supply of Activated Carbon
N.V. Waterleidingmaatschappij Drenthe is launching a European recognition procedure for suppliers of activated carbon within the drinking water sector. The objective is to ensure a reliable, certified supply chain that complies with EU and national standards for water treatment. Suppliers must demonstrate that their activated carbon meets the quality requirements for drinking water, including the absence of harmful substances, adsorption capacity, and lifespan. The procedure requires detailed technical specifications, certification, and proof of conformity with EU regulations (e.g., EU Regulation 2018/1935). The organization expects a transparent, competitive procurement process with an emphasis on sustainability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Suppliers must demonstrate their experience in the water treatment industry, as well as a plan for logistics and inventory management to guarantee continuity. The procedure is intended to improve the quality of the drinking water and ensure the operational continuity of the water utility company.
