What are „generally acknowledged Technical Standards“?
• technical standards laid down for procedures, installations and plants as well as for their operation
• application may be necessary formeeting legal requirements (e.g.Drinking Water Directive)
• based on prevailing opinion of technical experts in this field andproven in practice

Provision of Technical Standards
Governmental Tasks:
Federal,
State and
Local Laws
Technical/scientific
associations
dealing with
technical standards:
DVGW
ATV
„GENERALLY ACKNOWLEDGED TECHNICAL STANDARDS“
• elaborated by certain associations, i.e. DVGW
• knowledge and experience in specialised scientific and
technical fields not residing in governmental bodies
• developments in scientific and technical fields often too
rapid for governmental agencies to keep pace with

Elaboration of Technical Standards acc. to DVGW GW 100
DVGW Technical Committees:Composed of experts working on a voluntary basis
Elaborate first draft: „Yellow Print“
Public enquiry phase of 3 months for suggestions, modifications, etc.
Hearings with the relevant Technical Committee
Final adoption by the DVGW Board
„White Print“
Updates produced every five years
