New regulations have been made to provide building product users with a minimum level of easy to understand information about building products
These new regulations were developed to
Help designers, builders and consumers choose the right products for their needs ,install them correctly and make informed decisions about using alternative products if required
Enable more efficient consenting by providing building consent authorities with the right information, so it is readily available to check that plans will meet the building code
Reduced the chance of building defects, less building rework, more efficient consenting, and safer more durable buildings
These BPIR relate to our Underbench Unit Tapware Range including:
Spring Neotap Multi – Light Commercial (LC)
Spring Neotap Soft Touch – Residential (R)
Spring Fusion Tap
Spring Duo Tap
Spring Filter Tap
in all incarnations/colourways. This BPIR is only required for the tapware, not the respective underbench appliance
This Tapware is designed for use with the applicable underbench appliance for filtered, tempered drinking water
These products are batch produced to a general specification, and are Class 1 Building Products as defined in the regulations
