Water Fittings Testing

Testing for water fittings compliance and safety

Water fittings play a critical role in protecting drinking water systems from contamination, waste and misuse.

To ensure that water systems meet the highest standards of safety and quality, WRAS approvals and REG4 compliance are critical.

Testing ensures that products used within plumbing systems meet the required safety and performance standards, supporting compliance with regulations designed to safeguard water quality across residential, commercial and infrastructure environments.

Testing capability for water fittings

Testing is carried out under BS EN ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, ensuring accuracy, reliability and compliance with recognised standards.

Testing services include:

  • Swivel rig testing
  • Headworks testing
  • Physical testing
  • Endurance testing
  • Dimensional testing

These tests are essential in demonstrating that products meet the performance and safety requirements of Regulation 4, supporting approval and use within regulated water systems.

WRAS and Regulation 4 (REG4) approvals

Water fittings connected to public water supplies must comply with Regulation 4 (REG4), which requires the use of suitable materials and products to prevent contamination and ensure system integrity.

As an approved Water Fittings laboratory, testing supports WRAS approvals and REG4 compliance, helping manufacturers demonstrate that their products meet the required standards.

Work is carried out in alignment with WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) requirements, supporting certification and approval processes.
