A water fitting shall be deemed to comply with the stipulated standards if it is certified or tested as complying with such standards by a conformity assessment body (product certification body/testing laboratory) accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) or its Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) partners. Separate approval from PUB for the water fitting is not required. However, fittings must be supported with valid, complete and full test reports and certificates.
