Type Approvals
A type approval is verification that a product complies with all relevant technical requirements based on both European and national performance standards. It provides documented assurance that the product has been independently assessed and approved for its intended use.
Whether your organisation is involved in the production and supply of drinking water, plumbing and sanitary installations, drainage systems, wastewater treatment, or related infrastructure, it is often necessary to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations, standards, and performance requirements.
Type approvals provide this assurance by documenting that products meet recognised requirements for safety, functionality, durability, and performance. For specifiers, contractors, utilities, and project developers, they offer confidence that the selected products are suitable for use in demanding professional environments and comply with relevant market requirements.
The Foundation of Compliance
All our kitchen and basin mixers are type approved. In Denmark, type approval forms the foundation for the legal sale and installation of taps and mixers and demonstrates compliance with the requirements set by the relevant authorities.*
One of the most important aspects of any type approval is the protection of drinking water quality. Products used within the sanitary sector – particularly those that come into direct contact with drinking water – must meet strict requirements regarding materials, safety, and performance.
At Damixa, we take this responsibility seriously. That is why all new materials and components undergo a comprehensive internal evaluation and testing process before being approved for use. We carefully assess their suitability, durability, and compliance with applicable requirements before they become part of a finished product.
Our completed taps and mixers are also subjected to extensive testing and approval procedures before the first product reaches the market. This helps ensure reliable performance, high quality, and confidence that our products meet the standards expected by both professionals and consumers.Curious about the tests we perform and the organisations behind the approvals?
