Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2020 on the quality of water intended for human consumption

Directive (EU) 2020/2184 is the European Union’s current drinking-water directive for water intended for human consumption.

Directive (EU) 2020/2184 is the European Union’s current drinking-water directive for water intended for human consumption. Annex I Part B sets chemical parametric values for antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, uranium, and other non-HMI contaminants; Annex I Part C sets an aluminium indicator value. The directive requires Member States to set values no less stringent than the Annex I values, while preserving transitional dates for lead and chromium. It is a drinking-water instrument, not a food-contaminant maximum-level regulation. The controlled-vocabulary routeable values from this source are captured in the structured evidence record; uranium is documented on the regulation page and gap-logged because it is outside the current CSV species vocabulary.
