The commissioning and compliance testing of RPZ valves should only be undertaken by someone who is competent.
To be considered as competent by the local water undertaker, unless recognised on a site specific basis, a RPZ tester must have a recognised qualification in RPZ valve commissioning and/or compliance testing from a recognised training provider. They should be a member of a recognised RPZ tester approved contractor scheme and must be able to demonstrate their test equipment is suitably calibrated and also have appropriate liability insurance.
