Quick answer
WaterMark is Australia’s certification scheme for plumbing and drainage products, run by the Australian Building Codes Board. A WaterMark licence shows a product has been assessed against the relevant Australian standards for use in plumbing. You can check any licence on the WaterMark product database.
What WaterMark covers
The WaterMark Certification Scheme sits under the Plumbing Code of Australia. Products on the WaterMark Schedule of Products need certification before they can be installed in plumbing systems. Certified products carry the WaterMark logo and a licence number.
What it doesn’t cover
WaterMark is about whether a product is suitable and safe to install in plumbing. It isn’t a rating of how well a filter improves your water, so read filtration claims separately.
Why people ask about it
- Builders and renovators often specify WaterMark products for compliance.
- Strata committees may require it before work on shared plumbing.
- Insurers may ask what was installed if there’s ever a claim.
How to check a product
Find the WaterMark licence number on the product, its packaging or the supplier’s paperwork, then search for it in the WaterMark product database on the Australian Building Codes Board website.
Our systems
