Classification Standards Compliance¶
All products specified and used must adhere to recognised industry standards (e.g., BS, ISO, WRAS for water industry products) and be approved as part of a larger sub-system. Products will not be accepted solely based on individual standards; they must also be reviewed within the sub-system context.
We require Product Data Sheets and Certificates of Conformity to demonstrate compliance with relevant classification standards, both individually and within the specified sub-systems.
Construction Phase Verification of Sub-System Integration¶
During construction, we verify that products and systems are installed in alignment with sub-system classification standards. Integration checks are conducted at key project milestones, verifying that combined products work together as intended.
A Competent Person will oversee these checks to confirm compliance and resolve any integration issues. Any adjustments required to maintain classification standards within the sub-system will be documented and addressed immediately.
Competent Person Installation Checks¶
All installations of construction products and systems are checked and approved by a designated competent person with appropriate qualifications and experience.
The competent person is responsible for verifying that each installation meets classification and sub-system standards, ensuring full compliance with safety, quality, and functional requirements.
For each major installation, a Certificate of Installation Compliance will be issued, certifying that the installation has been checked and meets required standards.
Competent Person Qualifications for Water Infrastructure Projects¶
Our competent persons hold the following qualifications as appropriate to the works:
- EUSR Water Hygiene certification (Blue Card)
- NRSWA Supervisor or Operative qualifications
- Relevant NVQ qualifications in water industry operations
- Equipment-specific training (e.g., electrofusion jointing, pressure testing)
