Jefferson Rubber Works Inc., a custom manufacturer of rubber molded products, has recently received material approval from the Water Regulations Authority Scheme (WRAS).
The approved rubber material is suitable for contact with wholesome water for domestic purposes having met the requirements of BS6920-1:2000 and/or 2014 ‘Suitability of non-metallic products for use in contact with water intended for human consumption with regard to their effect on the quality of the water, according to the WRAS.
Non-metallic materials & components, such as rubber sheet material and ‘O’ rings undergo testing by the WRAS for their effects on water quality. This type of approval demonstrates that the non-metallic material/component does not itself contaminate the water and therefore satisfies this particular requirement of regulations and bylaws.
“We are excited to receive the WRAS material approval and expect this will open new opportunities for Jefferson Rubber Works in the European markets as well as with domestic manufacturers who export to Europe and need local suppliers who have WRAS approval”, said Company President Dave Pentland. “This approval should also assist in our expansion in the plumbing and waste water markets”, Pentland said.
Jefferson will be listed on the WRAS website which can be found at www.wras.co.uk/directory
