WRAS

A WRAS certificate is a certification mark issued by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), a UK-based organization that promotes water safety and efficiency. The WRAS certificate indicates that a product has been tested and meets the requirements of the UK Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and Scottish Water Byelaws, which govern the installation and use of water fittings and appliances in the UK.

The WRAS certification process involves testing products in WRAS-approved laboratories, which assess their compliance with the regulations and byelaws. Products that are certified by WRAS include pipes, fittings, valves, taps, showers, and other appliances that come into contact with drinking water.

A WRAS certificate is often required for products used in plumbing and water supply applications in the UK. It provides assurance to installers, specifiers, and end-users that the product has been independently tested and meets the required standards for safety, quality, and performance. WRAS also offers a searchable online database of certified products, which can help users to select and specify suitable products for their applications.
