Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Water Byelaws Scotland 2003

Regulation 1(2) defines an 'approved contractor' as a person who:

- has been approved by the water undertaker for the area where a water fitting is installed, or, used, or

- has been certified as an approved contractor by an organisation specified in writing by the regulator;

Most Water Undertakings in the UK do not directly operate their own 'Approved Contractor' scheme, they utilise the services of WIAPS a scheme that they finance and run (The Water Industry Approved Plumbers Scheme).

Members of this scheme are deemed approved by the local water undertaker.

To join a scheme an operative must be competent, have adequate insurance and be knowledgeable on the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 or Water Byelaws in Scotland . All the 'Approved Contractor' schemes accept the BPEC Water Regulations Qualification for the purposes of the knowledge element of the scheme entry criteria.
