Handling drinking water
With this information sheet, we would like to inform you about the handling of drinking water and the use of hot water systems. Since 2012, according to the Ordinance on the Quality of Drinking Water for Human Consumption (Drinking Water Ordinance), water supply systems must be tested for Legionella. Here, you will learn what legionella are, how you can protect yourself from them, and how the proper testing of drinking water is conducted.
Vinyl asbestos floor panels (Floor-Plex tiles)
Due to their specific structural properties, building materials containing asbestos, such as vinyl asbestos tiles (also known as Floor-Flex tiles), were frequently used in Germany, particularly in the 1960s/70s. The reason for this was their almost unlimited durability and the excellent cleaning capabilities they offered in rental apartments. This information sheet explains how to identify asbestos-containing vinyl tiles and provides important advise to avoid potential health hazards. Additionally, we inform you about the measures to take if you discover damaged tiles and how to proceed in such cases.
