BPEC Water Regulations

In 1999 local Water Byelaws in England and Wales were replaced by the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. This course is designed to update candidates with the relevant information and assess their knowledge.

To provide an up-to-date knowledge and understanding of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, which is used to control the installation and use of water supply systems.

Successful completion of the assessment also enables candidates to be able to join the Water Industry Approved Plumbers Scheme (WIAPS).

The course is aimed at practising plumbers with experience in both hot and cold water systems, as well as anyone involved in the installation, design and specification of water systems, and anyone with limited previous experience who wish to update their knowledge.

The course requires candidates to have a knowledge and understanding of plumbing and heating systems and is ideally suited to existing plumbing engineers who should hold an NVQ in Plumbing at level 3 or equivalent (e.g. City & Guilds Advanced Craft) or who has suitable practical plumbing experience.
