WRAS Approved Material

WRAS testing refers to the process of evaluating plumbing products and materials to ensure they comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations. WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) is a UK certification body that assesses products for their suitability for use in contact with drinking water, focusing on aspects like preventing contamination and ensuring water quality. WRAS itself does not conduct testing; instead, it relies on accredited third-party laboratories to perform the required tests.

Purpose:

To ensure that plumbing products and materials do not cause waste, misuse, undue consumption or contamination of the public water supply.

Testing Process:

WRAS testing is aligned with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations in England and Wales, the Water Fittings Regulations and Scottish Water Byelaws in Scotland and the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations in Northern Ireland.

WRAS Approval

Once a product passes the required tests and the application process is complete, WRAS grants approval, signifying compliance with the regulations.

Scope:

WRAS testing covers a wide range of products, including non-metallic materials, components and complete water fittings.

Regulations:

Manufacturers submit their products to recognised testing laboratories, which then conduct the necessary tests according to WRAS guidelines.

Importance:

WRAS approval is often a requirement for installers and is a recognised way to demonstrate compliance with the water regulations.
