    EWS standard

    Control Union Certifications has been a member of the Steering Committee of the European Water Stewardship (EWS) since 2010 and was the first approved certification body for the European Water Stewardship standard.

    The EWS standard is intended to be applicable to a broad range of water users that may impact on the availability and quality of water. In fact, members of any sector (for example agriculture, industry, municipalities or airports) can apply for certification.
