Drinking water hygiene in buildings and the legal requirements of the German Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV) can be a challenge for operators or administrators of a drinking water installation, especially in the case of conspicuous findings. In order to keep abreast of the constantly changing legal requirements, GBA Group offers training in the drinking water ordinance and drinking water hygiene in the housing industry.

The current situation demands a great deal of us. The corona virus has brought many things to a standstill that we took for granted in our everyday lives, e.g. hotels, shops, schools, kindergartens, fitness studios, clubhouses, holiday apartments and much more. But what do you, as the owner of such a facility, have to consider in terms of hygiene when you reopen your facility?

The production of liquid short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP) was banned back in 1995. Since they are not water soluble, instead they form micro-droplets and accumulate in organic material. This bioaccumulation can also occur inside the human body, and chlorinated paraffins are considered carcinogenic. Even though they are no longer used, they can still pose problems during demolition work many years later. The EU has classified SCCPs as strongly toxic to aquatic environments.
