WRAS Approval Readiness Tool

By posing a series of targeted questions tailored to your product, this tool will help you understand if your product is ready to enter the WRAS Approval process.

All plumbing products and materials in contact with drinking water must comply with the UK’s Water Supply (Water Fittings) regulations and byelaws, which include:

  • The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999
  • The Water Supply (Water Fittings) (Scotland) Byelaws 2014
  • The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009

WRAS Approval is one way to prove this compliance.

No matter if you’re new to this approval, or have experience with it, one important question you might be asking is, “How do I know if my product/material is ready to enter the WRAS Approval process?”

Find out by using our WRAS Approval Readiness Tool. By posing a series of targeted questions tailored to your specific product, this tool helps you understand where your product or material stands, and any additional preparation you may want to make before starting your application.
