Drinking water is our most important foodstuff. Ensuring its quality is therefore not an optional extra, but a strict legal requirement. In Switzerland, the guideline W12 of the SVGW represents the absolute gold standard. It is the industry guideline for good process practice (GVP) and primarily serves to fulfill the legally prescribed self-regulation in accordance with food legislation (BLV).
Put an end to paperwork and confusing file folders: waterloo Control is the digital toolbox for the well master on site. It provides a complete overview and eliminates unnecessary paperwork.
In Switzerland, self-regulation is not just a “good idea”, it is strictly regulated by law. Water suppliers must comply with the Foodstuffs and Utility Articles Ordinance (LGV):
The W12 is an industry solution from the BLV recognized. The SVGW defines the critical control points. This means that suppliers do not have to laboriously develop their plan themselves. If the drinking water inspector is at the door, everything must be ready to hand.
The Swiss model is very “hands-on” for the practitioner. The W12 follows a deviation approach. waterloo Control has digitized this process:
Many water suppliers have concerns because systems are often located deep underground or there is no receptionin the reservoir.
If you are standing in a high tank or deepest shaft and your cell phone has no signal, the system simply continues to work. You fill everything in and take photos. As soon as you get out of the cellar again, the system sends the data to the digital filing cabinet all by itself. Nothing gets lost and you don’t have to enter anything twice.
Excel is good for accounting, but risky when it comes to water management. This is how waterloo Control supports water suppliers in practice:
waterloo Control is not a gimmick for the office, but a tool for the well master. It makes work legally compliant, saves time and works like clockwork – even in the deepest reservoirs.
