This applies to operators of any public or private company carrying out, for profit or not, activities related to the preparation, processing and preservation of foodstuffs.

For domestic uses (watering, cleaning, etc.), the order of 12 July 2024 on the sanitary conditions for the use of water unfit for human consumption for domestic purposes, issued pursuant to Article R. 1322-94 of the French Public Health Code, sets strict health conditions applicable to all stakeholders concerned: owners of internal water distribution networks, managers of establishments open to the public, water services, local authorities, etc.

The order of 14 March 2025 governs the use of water unfit for human consumption for specific domestic purposes within classified installations for environmental protection (ICPE). It specifies the quality criteria and technical conditions to be met to ensure health and environmental safety.
