WaterMark Certification

The WaterMark Certification Scheme (WMCS), is a mandatory product certification scheme for plumbing and drainage products  in accordance with the stated requirements of the (ABCB) Australian Building Codes Board document, Manual for the WaterMark Certification Scheme, which outlines the scheme rules.

The objective of the WMCS is to facilitate a national uniform approach to plumbing product compliance and approval for installation.

WaterMark certification is normally applied to products that are installed in the hot or cold-water supply systems or drainage systems. A comprehensive listing of plumbing products mandated as requiring WMCS, - including product types and application, specifications and exemptions - is contained in the ABCB document,  Schedule of Products (WMSP).

Similarly a detailed listing of plumbing products mandated as not requiring WMCS is contained in the ABCB document, Schedule of Excluded Products (WMEP).
