What is KIWA approval and why
What is KIWA approval?
KIWA approval or KUKreg4 approval in the UK refers to certifications issued by Kiwa, a globally renowned testing, inspection and certification body in the water boosting and water services industry.
Operating for over 75 years KIWA has independently tested products that are introduced to the market to ensure the quality of products and to eliminate safety risks to the end user.
KIWA’s testing and certification services cover a range of products including water pumps, water tanks and other associated equipment, helping to keep safe and reliable water installations for end users.
Why is KIWA approval so important?
KIWA approval in the water services industry is important to ensure the safety and reliability of water products. KIWA performs independent evaluations and testing of products to ensure they are safe and reliable for use in the water industry.
Independent KIWA certification indicates that products meet high standards of quality and durability, reducing the risk of failure or leaks benefiting the installers and end users of a project.
Choosing a KIWA approved product gives consumers confidence in the safety of the equipment and also contractors in being able to meet regulatory requirements to gain access to new projects.
