Why should I get my Product WRAS Approved?

A WRAS product approval is an easy way to demonstrate that a material or water fitting, is of a suitable quality and standard.

Any water fitting, which when installed, will carry or receive water from the public mains water supply in the UK, must comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations or Scottish Byelaws.  These require that a water fitting should not cause waste, misuse, undue consumption or contamination of the water supply and must be ‘of an appropriate quality and standard’.

WRAS Product Approval: Whole products such as valves, boilers & showers undergo mechanical and water quality testing. This type of approval demonstrates products are of an appropriate quality and standard, provided the fitting is installed according to any conditions given with the approval.

Where do the regulations apply?
The Regulations are typically in effect between the boundary of a property and the point of discharge .
