| The WRAS (Water
Regulations Advisory Scheme) Scheme
assesses water products to ensure
that they do not waste, misuse, undue consume or contaminate the
water supply. |
It is important to remember that WRAS approval
consists of two requirements the first being:
- Non-metallic materials in contact with the water
(paint, grease, o rings gaskets etc) must comply with BS 6920 and the supplier
of the material must be able to supply you with the WRAS approval number for the
material or a test report to BS 6920 from one of the approved test labs. (Water
Fittings and Materials Directory, Materials Section)
- The product must meet the mechanical requirements as
stipulated in the Regulators Specifications.
|
| The applications form for WRAS approval (Form F2)
can found on the following web page and must be completed and returned to the
Administration staff along with details of your product. |
The following is a simplified version of the
procedures to gain WRAS approval.
- Completed application form received by
Administration staff.

details are OK (materials etc) and that we have enough information to proceed
