Method of Assessment
Why
do I need a certificate?
Under the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999, Water Companies can appoint Approved Contractors
(sometimes called Approved Plumbers) for the area they cover. Holding a
BPEC/WRAS Certificate should prove that your knowledge of the Water Supply
(Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 is good enough for you to become an
Approved Contractor. In case of employees, the certificate will provide
evidence to an Approved Contractor that you have a sound knowledge of the
Regulations.
