Certification of Plumbing / Water Products
Bureau Veritas Product Certification offers a number of certification services for the Plumbing Industry.
The ‘S’ Mark Certification Scheme is offered by Bureau Veritas for a large number of plumbing/water products, e.g. pipes & fittings, taps, toilet suites and many more.
Bureau Veritas can also arrange WaterMark Certification in Australia which is a regulatory Scheme. There is a requirement in the National Construction Code Volume Three – Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) for certain plumbing and drainage materials to be certified and authorised for use in a plumbing or drainage installation. These materials and products are certified and authorised through the application of the WaterMark Certification Scheme (WMCS).
