What is Water Regulations Approval?

Water Regulations Approval verifies that plumbing fittings and appliances comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, designed to prevent waste, contamination and misuse. The WRAS Approved Material and Product schemes are the principal route to compliance in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Installers should be on the WaterSafe register, the umbrella body for approved plumbing contractor schemes.
