RPZ FAQs: Testing
Can a water undertaker refuse to accept a test report?

To be considered by the local water undertaker as being valid a test report must be:
- Completed, signed and dated by a RPZ tester they consider to be competent using calibrated suitable test equipment
- Submitted in an acceptable format
- Provide the minimum information required
- Be received by the local water undertaker within 10 working days of test – unless the valve fails test in which case specific reporting requirements apply.
