Abstract
This European Standard (EN 13443-1:2007+A1:2007) specifies requirements for mechanical filters used in drinking water installations inside buildings, covering nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 100, pressure ratings, and performance criteria. It outlines essential input data, calculation protocols, and normative references for compliance with EU regulations. The document addresses scope, testing methods, and safety considerations, while noting that national regulations remain applicable until harmonized European criteria are adopted. It also includes guidance on filter design, installation, and maintenance to ensure water quality and system integrity.
