This list applies to water supplied under Regulation 5 of the Private Water Supplies Regulations 2009 and Regulation 4A The Private Water Supplies (Wales) Regulations 2010. Where reference is required to specific regulatory requirements, these are given in footnotes. The List The list published here is not exhaustive with respect to Regulation 31 approved products or WRAS approved products. Both of these lists are continually being updated, and the most up to date lists should be consulted in order to provide assurance that products are approved. This list contains examples of products that are likely to be found or used in private water supplies. Current lists for Regulation 31 and WRAS approved products may be found at http://dwi.defra.gov.uk/drinking-water-products/approvedproducts/soslistcurrent.pdf and http://www.wras.co.uk/Directory/ respectively. INTRODUCTION The products in this list have only been assessed for safety for use in water supplies; they have not been assessed for fitness for purpose. Section 69 of the Water Industry Act 1991, as amended by the Water Act 2003, gave the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Welsh Ministers powers to make regulations controlling substances, processes and/or products that are used in the treatment and provision of private water supplies. Section 76B of the Water (Scotland) Act 1980 gives Scottish Ministers similar powers. The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) carries out the approval process for the Authorities for the whole of the United Kingdom, under the relevant Regulations. DWI accepts applications for approval of products used both before the treatment works, and in water distribution systems up to the point of delivery to premises. The relevant regulations concern the introduction of substances and products (including construction products) and processes for use in the treatment and provision of drinking water supplies. They implement the requirements of Article 10 of the European Union Directive UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED 2 Issue date: May 2015 98/83/EC on the quality of water intended for human consumption, in respect to substances and materials used in the preparation and distribution of water up to the point of delivery to premises. They do not transpose the requirements of the Directive with regard to the premises (water supply systems within buildings). In England and Wales these requirements are dealt with by the water industry Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. In Scotland these are dealt with by Scottish Water’s Water Byelaws 2004, and in Northern Ireland by The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 Under the relevant regulations drinking water suppliers shall not apply or introduce any substance or product into public drinking water supplies unless the requirements of the relevant regulations are met. APPROVAL UNDER REGULATION 5 Products may be suitable approved under Regulation 5 of the PWS in one of five ways: 1. Listed in the Secretary of State’s list of approved products for use in Public Water Supply in the United Kingdom (current version is available on the DWI website); 2. Listed in the Water Regulations Advisory Service (WRAS) Water Fittings and Materials Directory (available on the WRAS website: www.wras.co.uk) as a suitable material for use in plumbing systems within buildings; 3. The particular usage of the product/substance results in either a minimal surface area exposure or a transient contact time with water and testing using BS6920 methodology has shown that the product/substance does not give rise to an objectionable taste or odour and does not encourage microbial growth. 4. Treatment chemicals conforming to a BS:EN standard and dosed in accordance with any national conditions of use (Current BS:EN standards and conditions of use are shown in the Secretary of States List of approved products for use in Public Water Supply in the United Kingdom). 5. Included in the Transitional List of traditional products and substances for use in Private Water Supplies UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED 3 Issue date: May 2015 INTRODUCTION TO THE LIST OF APPROVED PRODUCTS All approved products must be used in accordance with any specific conditions of approval, listed against the product names. In addition, use is in accordance with an Instructions for Use document provided by the product manufacturer. THE APPROVAL OF A PRODUCT Approval is based upon consideration as to whether the use of a substance or product will adversely affect the quality of the water supplied, or cause a risk to the health of consumers; no consideration is given to fitness for purpose and approval by the Authorities must not be taken as a favourable assessment of the performance or merits of any substance or product. It is the responsibility of the relevant person to ensure fitness for purpose. Warning: The inclusion of products/substances in any of the above categories or on any List published by DWI does not signify an endorsement of its fitness for purpose or any other merits. UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED 4 Issue date: May 2015 CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION ON TRANSITIONAL LIST FOR USE IN PRIVATE WATER SUPPLIES Regulation 5(1) of the Private Water Supplies Regulations 2009 requires that any product or substance used in a private supply after the coming into force of these Regulations must be a product or substance that would be permitted to be used in a water supply under Regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000. Although a wide variety of products and substances have been used for many years in private water supplies, as yet very few have been evaluated formally for placing on the Secretary of State’s List of Approved Products/Substances. For this reason, DWI has put in place transitional arrangements for compliance and these are set out below. Any product or substance which has been used in no fewer than three different private supplies for at least 12 months prior to application for inclusion on the list may be deemed to comply with Regulation 5 provided there is evidence to show that the supplies in question were of satisfactory water quality and there is no history of consumer complaints or adverse health effects. It is expected that manufacturers/suppliers of any product or substance which are deemed compliant under these transitional arrangements will obtain guidance from DWI on the steps required in order to obtain approval under Regulation 31. DWI will add products/substances to a “transitional” list of products/substances on receipt of the following information: (i) locations of 3 or more private water supplies where the product or substance has been in use for at least 12 months; and (ii) testing and other relevant data to demonstrate satisfactory water quality and the absence of public health or consumer concerns and (iii) product information including conditions of use. A form for applicants is available at http://dwi.defra.gov.uk/private-water- supply/installers/Reg5application.doc UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED 5 Issue date: May 2015 TRANSITIONAL LIST OF PRODUCTS/SUBSTANCES PERMITTED FOR USE IN PRIVATE WATER SUPPLIES Note: these products are only permitted to be used if installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Regulation 31(4)(b) of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations covers products used in contact with water intended for human consumption where the contact surface area and/or contact time are low. These products do not require the same rigorous evaluation as that applied to products such as pipes and their coatings. Full details of the types of products covered under this requirement are given in Section 3 of Advice Sheet 8 (http://www.dwi.gov.uk/drinking-water-products/advice-and-approval/Advicesheet8.pdf). This Advice Sheet also contains guidance on the use of these components and products in the provision of public water supplies. To summarise this sheet, The Secretary of State is satisfied that substances or products either alone or in combination with any other substance or product in the water is unlikely to affect adversely the quality of the water supplied when (i) that product or substance offers low (trivial) surface area contact or short (transient) contact with the water; and (ii) that product or substance does not give rise to unintended odour/flavour to the water and does not support the growth of microbial organisms. It is the responsibility of the Local Authority to check whether products fall into this category by reference to the exemplar list in section 2 of Advice Sheet 8 or by calculating whether the particular product can be shown to only expose a small surface area to the water . Example calculations can be found in Advice Sheet 8. A non-exhaustive list of examples of products that are likely to fall into this category are described below. It is the responsibility of the Local Authority to satisfy themselves that they have sufficient evidence to make an assessment of whether products fall under this category. PRODUCTS LIKELY TO FALL INTO REGULATION 31(4)(B) • • • • • • • • • • • • • Aerators, agitators and stirrers Back-flow prevention systems Couplings/joints for pipes, gaskets and jointing compounds and other components used with pipes and/or assembled products, e.g. in pressure vessels Crack injection sealants (not applied to the water contact surface of water retaining concrete structures) Expansion joint filler boards Expansion joint sealants (excluding overbandaging products) External pipe fittings, e.g. repair collars etc Hydrants and associated fittings In-situ sensors and probes (including pressure transducers and level sensors), together with their cable coverings Intake screens and strainers Ladders and submerged gratings and walkways Pumps and associated fittings and materials, including lubricants Resin & chemical anchors UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED 24 Issue date: May 2015 • • • • • • • • • • • Rubber sealing rings for use with water pipelines or in assembled products, e.g. pressure vessels – see Section 3.1, including Important Note “ii”.
