Watermark Certification
The watermark certification scheme is an Australian certification program that ensures plumbing and drainage products and materials meet certain standards for safety, quality, and performance. The scheme is administered by the Australian Building Codes Board and is mandatory in most Australian states and territories.
However, watermark certification is required for drainage products because they are critical components of plumbing systems and their failure can cause significant damage to property and harm to people. Watermark certification ensures that drainage products comply with the relevant Australian standards and are safe and reliable.
The certification process involves testing and evaluation of the products by an accredited testing laboratory, followed by ongoing surveillance to ensure that the products continue to meet the required standards. Products that meet the standards are then issued with a watermark certificate, which is a mark of quality and compliance with Australian regulations.
