England and Wales, apart from the course list over, we are
always striving to improve our training portfolio, should you

day course covering the theory the courses consists of:-
1. Provide the installer, designer or specifier of water
fittings and the associated systems with information to meet
the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999.
2 Prior to 1 July 1999, England and Wales had a series of
Water Byelaws, made locally and only applicable to the area in
which they were based. They were, however, based on a
nationally agreed format.
The new Water Regulations are made nationally by the
Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
and apply to every installation supplied from a public main by
a water undertaker.
The Regulations are enforced by the water companies on behalf
of DEFRA.

the BPEC/WRAS Water Regulations Assessment and prove
competence in the Regulations to meet the requirements of an

• The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, consist
of fourteen Regulations, divided into three Parts and
supported by three Schedules:
• Similar to other regulations, the Water Regulations are not
prescriptive and contain very little technical detail.

available on the internet.
