2. European Standards for Brass Valves and Fittings: What Buyers Need to Know
Europe is an important market for plumbing, heating, water supply and fluid control products. Buyers in different European countries may have specific requirements for product dimensions, materials, performance, testing and documentation.
For manufacturers, understanding the relevant European standards is essential for developing suitable products.
BORNIC pays attention to the technical requirements commonly used in the European brass valve and fitting industry.
The following standards and regulations are important references for many products in this sector. The applicable requirements must always be confirmed according to the specific product, application and destination market.
EN 13828 – Building Valves and Brass Ball Valves
EN 13828 is an important European standard for manually operated copper alloy and stainless steel ball valves used in potable water installations in buildings.
It addresses key product characteristics such as:
- Valve design and construction
- Materials
- Mechanical performance
- Hydraulic performance
- Acoustic performance
- Testing and marking
For European buyers sourcing brass ball valves, the relevant standard and edition should be confirmed according to the product application and current requirements.
BORNIC can discuss brass ball valve production according to customer specifications, including nominal size, connection type, body material, pressure rating, handle design and surface finish.
EN 1254 Series – Copper and Copper Alloy Fittings
The EN 1254 series covers copper and copper alloy fittings used in plumbing and heating systems.
Different parts address different connection technologies, including capillary fittings, compression fittings, threaded fittings and press fittings.
For example, the series includes requirements relevant to:
- Compression fittings for copper tubes
- Compression fittings for plastic and multilayer pipes
- Threaded copper alloy fittings
- Capillary fittings
- Press fittings for metallic tubes
- Press fittings for plastic and multilayer pipes
The correct part of the standard depends on the fitting design and intended pipe connection.
BORNIC manufactures a variety of brass fittings for plumbing and heating applications. Customers can provide drawings, samples or technical specifications so that our team can evaluate the required structure and production process.
EN 12164 and EN 12165 – Copper Alloy Materials
Material quality is one of the most important considerations when manufacturing brass valves and fittings.
EN 12164 and EN 12165 are important European material standards covering copper alloy products in different forms, including rods for machining and materials for forging.
Common brass grades used in valve and fitting manufacturing include:
- CW617N – Commonly used for forged brass plumbing and valve components
- CW614N – Frequently used for machining applications
- CW602N – A dezincification-resistant brass option
- CW510L – A low-lead brass alloy option
- CW724R – A lead-free brass alloy option
The correct material should be selected according to the product’s intended application, mechanical properties, corrosion requirements and applicable drinking water regulations.
BORNIC can discuss different material options with customers before production to help ensure that the selected brass grade matches the agreed technical requirements.
EN 12266 – Industrial Valve Testing
EN 12266 is a relevant European standard series for pressure testing of industrial valves.
Depending on the product and applicable part, testing may cover shell strength, seat leakage and other performance requirements.
For customers purchasing industrial or plumbing valves, testing requirements should be confirmed according to valve design, nominal size, pressure rating and application.
BORNIC can discuss suitable inspection and testing arrangements for individual projects.
PED 2014/68/EU – Pressure Equipment Directive
The Pressure Equipment Directive, or PED 2014/68/EU, establishes requirements for pressure equipment within its scope.
It applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of stationary pressure equipment with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar, subject to the Directive’s scope, exclusions and classification rules.
Not every brass valve automatically requires CE marking under PED. The applicable classification and conformity assessment route depend on the product’s characteristics and intended use.
For projects involving pressure equipment, BORNIC can work with customers to review the technical requirements and identify the appropriate manufacturing and documentation arrangements.
3. The New EU Drinking Water Requirements: Prepare Your Brass Products for 2026 and Beyond
For brass valves and fittings used in drinking water installations, material selection and hygiene performance are especially important.
The European Drinking Water Directive (EU) 2020/2184 provides a framework for protecting water intended for human consumption.
The EU has also adopted several implementing and delegated acts to establish a more harmonized approach to materials and products that come into contact with drinking water.
Important measures include:
- Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/367, establishing European positive lists of authorized starting substances, compositions and constituents.
- Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/368, establishing testing and acceptance procedures for final materials.
- Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/370, covering conformity assessment procedures and the designation of conformity assessment bodies.
- Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/371, establishing harmonized marking specifications.
The new EU hygiene requirements are scheduled to apply from 31 December 2026, with transitional provisions in certain circumstances.
For manufacturers and importers, this development makes it increasingly important to review the materials used in drinking water products, testing documentation and the applicable conformity assessment requirements.
Choosing a brass grade alone does not automatically establish compliance. The complete product, its material composition, manufacturing process, intended use and applicable testing requirements must be considered.
BORNIC understands the importance of these requirements for European customers.
If you are developing brass valves or fittings for drinking water applications, please share your target market, material requirements and compliance specifications with us before placing your order.
Early technical communication helps both parties evaluate the right production solution.
