 In this video we are going to discuss the Product Certification Scheme, Watermark. Watermark is a mandatory scheme for the certification of plumbing and drainage products. It provides assurance to consumers that plumbing and drainage systems work properly and the water you use is safe. The National Construction Code, or NCC, is made up of three volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 are the Building Code of Australia. Volume 3 is the Plumbing Code of Australia, or PCA. The PCA requires certain plumbing and drainage materials and products to be certified and authorised for use in a plumbing or drainage installation. Just so you know, the Watermark Certification Scheme, or Watermark, is a national scheme managed and administered by the Australian Building Code's Board, or ABCB, on behalf of the State and Territory Plumbing Regulators. So, what is Watermark? Watermark is a scheme that ensures that plumbing materials and products are fit for purpose and are appropriately authorised for use in plumbing and drainage installations. This means that a material or product has been tested and evaluated to an approved product specification and certified by an accredited organisation. These accredited organisations are called Watermark Conformity Assessment Bodies, or Watermark Cabs for short. Links to each of the Watermark Cabs can be found on the Watermark website. The ABCB has another YouTube video called Watermark Certified Products. This outlines what products require Watermark certification and how to find out if they do.
