RPZ testing services in Glasgow

Glasgow's commercial and manufacturing base means many premises rely on RPZ valves to protect drinking water from process and commercial contamination.

Clydeside businesses and city restaurants are common RPZ test sites.

We test reduced pressure zone valves to confirm both check valves and the relief valve are operating within the required parameters, and we provide compliant documentation for your records. Testing is generally carried out annually, though the exact obligation depends on the installation, your water supplier and the relevant requirements that apply.
