Important information for operators of water supply facilities - Introduction of SHAPTH and phasing out support for TEIS
The Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia informs about the transmission of drinking water test data:
As of January 1, 2027, the transmission of drinking water test data to the responsible health authorities via the SHAPTH exchange platform in the XWasser data format is planned. Operators must ensure that the transmission of test results can be carried out in accordance with applicable guidelines.
The health department also strongly recommends that when commissioning an approved drinking water testing facility, the direct electronic transmission of test results to the health department via SHAPTH/XWasser be agreed upon. By appropriately commissioning the testing facility, the fulfillment of transmission obligations can be simplified and largely automated.
The decision to have the transmission of test results carried out by the testing facility remains with the operator.
General information can also be found on the central project website at shapth.info. Further questions can be sent via email to Trinkwasser@lanuk.nrw.de.
