WRAS Certification (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) – United Kingdom
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) – United Kingdom
The WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) is the British scheme that certifies the compliance of products and materials intended for contact with drinking water with current UK regulations.
The aim is to ensure that components used in water systems—such as pipes, fittings, valves, pumps, taps, gaskets, and coatings—do not compromise water quality or user safety.
A WRAS-certified product demonstrates that:
it has been tested by accredited laboratories,
it does not release substances or contaminants into the water,
it complies with the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations applicable in the UK.
WRAS certification is not only a technical requirement, but also represents an internationally recognized quality mark, facilitating access to UK markets and increasing the product’s credibility in other countries.
Many technical specifications and tenders in the UK explicitly require WRAS compliance as a prerequisite for the approval and installation of products in water systems.
