UAE = Union des professionnels du traitement de l’eau
The UAE (Union Française des professionnels du traitement de l’eau) was founded in France in 1969 and gathers professionals that represents all stakeholders in the water treatment in buildings:
- From individual homes (B to C) to industrial, retail or collective buildings (B to B),
- Equipements from point of entry (POE) to points of use (POU),
- Adapted to the different quality and origin of the water (fodder water, network water, etc.).
Seeking to be the exemplary representation of the Profession, since its origin, the UAE places the professionalism of its members and respect for the consumer at the heart of its approach.
To achieve this, the UAE has set itself 3 main missions:
- Inform the public and raise awareness regarding water treatment professions and techniques.
- Act as a mediator for all water treatment companies operating in the building, at points of entry and points of use.
- Promote the profession by collaborating on promotion, regulation and standardization projects at both national and European level.
Next General Assembly
The UAE’s annual congress will take place the 11th of October and the General Assembly will be the 12th of October in Avignon.
