Water and Plumbing Product Services

Access to North America

In North America, both water and drinking water system components — fittings, fixtures and pipes that carry water — must undergo testing and inspection and earn certification to ensure that they function properly and are safe to use.

Testing and certification help build customer trust and loyalty, enhance your brand’s reputation and give you a competitive edge in the marketplace. In North America, testing and certification for water and drinking water system components are regulatory necessities.

Because water can absorb substances from anything it touches, all plumbing materials used in potable water supplies must undergo testing and certification to meet industry safety standards.
