Frequently asked questions about the database
Is Fit4DW only a database?
No. Fit4DW includes database functionality, but it is more than a static database.
Fit4DW is a secure digital infrastructure and shared reference point for verified drinking water materials information. It helps suppliers, manufacturers, laboratories and certification bodies organise, access and reuse relevant material, test, certificate and approval information in a controlled way.
The goal is to reduce fragmented exchanges, repeated requests and unnecessary administrative work across the conformity assessment process.
Who is Fit4DW for?
Fit4DW is designed for stakeholders across the drinking water materials chain, including:
- raw material suppliers;
- intermediate product manufacturers;
- final product manufacturers;
- applicators;
- laboratories;
- certification bodies;
- Notified Bodies.
For manufacturers, Fit4DW supports earlier access to verified information and better decision-making during product development. For suppliers, it helps reduce repeated disclosure requests while protecting sensitive know-how. For laboratories and certification bodies, it supports more structured information flows and more efficient review processes.
Will Notified Bodies and test laboratories work with Fit4DW?
Fit4DW is designed to support cooperation between manufacturers, suppliers, laboratories, certification bodies and Notified Bodies.
The current Fit4DW website states that discussions have taken place with members of the “Future notified bodies group” and that participants are supportive of the database.
The value of Fit4DW increases as more stakeholders use the platform, because verified information becomes easier to find, access and reuse. This supports a more efficient conformity assessment process for the entire chain.
