Water Regulations Advisory Scheme WRAS
The Water Regulations Approval Scheme (WRAS) is an independent UK certification body for plumbing products and materials. WRAS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Water Regs UK limited.
WRAS certification is intended to contribute to the protection of public health by preventing contamination of public water supplies and encouraging the efficient use of water by promoting and facilitating compliance with The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 and The Water Supply (Water Fittings) (Scotland) Byelaws 2014.
WRAS approved products can display the “WRAS approved” logo to prove the standard of this equipment.
In August 2021, WRAS was accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). UKAS is the sole national accreditation body recognised by the Government to assess organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services. Accreditation by UKAS demonstrates the competence, impartiality and performance capability of these evaluators.
