Safe Drinking Water Eco Friendly Labels
Safe Drinking Water Eco Friendly Labels are self-adhesive polypropylene labels for clearly identifying potable water points. They help you show staff, visitors and contractors which taps, dispensers or refill points are safe to drink from, reducing confusion in busy shared areas.
Best Places to Apply Safe Drinking Water Eco Friendly Labels
Install these labels directly beside clean, approved drinking water outlets, including taps, dispensers and refill points. Place them at eye level or close to the point of use so people see the message before filling a bottle, cup or container.
Viewing Distance Guidance
These are close-range identification labels, so choose the size by how near the user stands to the water point. Use the larger label where the outlet is set back, above a sink, or viewed across a small room.
| Label size | Typical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 25 x W 50 mm | Around 0.5–1 metre | Close tap, pipe or dispenser identification |
| H 50 x W 100 mm | Around 1–2 metres | More visible sink, refill or shared drinking areas |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Once installed consistently, the label changes behaviour at the point of use: people stop guessing, choose the approved outlet faster and avoid taking water from taps intended for cleaning, maintenance or other non-drinking purposes.

Installation Guidance
❌ Applying the label too far from the actual outlet can make users question which tap is safe.
❌ Placing it low on a splashback or hidden behind bottles makes the message easy to miss.
❌ Labelling only one tap in a row can create uncertainty if nearby taps look similar.
❌ Do not use it where water is non-potable, untreated or intended only for cleaning.
❌ Do not rely on it in dark areas where a non-photoluminescent label cannot be seen.
❌ Do not apply it to dirty, wet, dusty or uneven surfaces and expect reliable adhesion.
✅ Clean and dry the surface before fitting so the adhesive backing sits flat.
✅ Position it beside the outlet, not on a remote wall, so the instruction matches the water point.
✅ Use the larger size where people approach from further away or the area is visually busy.
Frequently asked questions
Are Safe Drinking Water Eco Friendly Labels suitable for approved drinking taps? Yes. Use them where the water outlet has already been confirmed as suitable for drinking, so people can identify it quickly and confidently.
Which size should I choose? Use H 25 x W 50 mm for close-up tap identification. Choose H 50 x W 100 mm where the label needs to be seen sooner, such as above a sink or at a shared refill point.
Can these labels be used outdoors? Yes, they are listed for indoor and outdoor display, but they should still be applied to a clean, smooth surface so the self-adhesive backing can bond properly.
Do these labels prove the water is safe to drink? No. They identify an approved drinking water point. Water quality still needs to be managed through your normal site checks, maintenance and responsible-person procedures.
Should I use this on a tap that is not for drinking? No. Use this only for potable water. If the outlet is not suitable for drinking, you need a clear “Not drinking water” product instead.

Eco and standard drinking water sign options
For a similar close-up message, use safe water on-the-spot signs where the drinking water point needs immediate identification. Useful for taps, dispensers and compact surfaces.
For standard small-format marking, compare drinking water adhesive identification signs where you need simple, direct wording. A practical choice for facilities with several water outlets.
If a wall sign is more suitable, consider polyester potable water signs for clearer visibility in shared areas. Helpful when users need to spot the water point from further away.
To compare eco, wall and corridor options together, browse drinking water signs and notices. It helps you select the right format for each location.
