ICC-ES can carry out WaterMark certification according to the Australian Plumbing Code to ensure that the product meets the regulatory requirements of the Australian market, and is suitable for faucets, valves, pipes, pipes, fittings, showers, toilets and other plumbing and plumbing products related to water supply systems.

The WaterMark certification program is a national compulsory product certification scheme administered by the Australian Building Standards Board (ABCB) and authorized by the Joint Australian and New Zealand Certification Body (JASANZ) and is the basis for the smooth entry of related products into the Australian market.

NSF (National Health Foundation) and WaterMark are two independent certification systems that serve product safety certification needs in different fields.

NSF certification
Scope of certification: Covering food, water treatment equipment, cosmetics and dietary supplements, ensuring that products comply with NSF/ANSI standards (e.g. NSF/ANSI 58 for reverse osmosis water purifier components, NSF/ANSI 173 for food contact materials).

Certification standards: including impurity removal ability, material safety, label accuracy, etc. For example, reverse osmosis components need to pass NSF/ANSI 58 standard testing to ensure compliance with North American regulations.

WaterMark Certification
Scope of certification: Mainly for building products in Australia (such as water pipe fittings, drainage systems), it is a mandatory certification system to ensure that the product is suitable for drinking water contact scenarios.

New requirements: From September 2025, Australia will implement new regulations for drinking water contact products containing copper alloys, requiring lead content not to exceed 0.25% (Weighted Average Lead Content).

The correlation between the two
There is currently no direct certification cooperation between the two, but both aim to protect public health and safety. For example, reverse osmosis water purifier components need to be NSF certified to enter the North American market, while Australian water pipe fittings need to be WaterMark certified to enter the local market.

High Filtration Accuracy – Designed for Australian Water

Achieve exceptional water purity with high filtration accuracy, engineered specifically to meet the unique challenges of Australian water sources. Whether drawing from municipal supplies, rainwater tanks, or groundwater, our advanced filtration system delivers consistent, reliable performance across diverse conditions.

Key Features of High Filtration Accuracy:

✅ Micron-Level Precision Traps particles as small as 0.1–1 micron, effectively removing sediment, rust, sand, microplastics, and turbidity common in Australian water systems — especially in rural and regional areas.

✅ Optimised for Variable Water Quality Australian water varies from hard, mineral-rich supplies in inland regions to chlorinated urban mains. Our filter adapts with multi-stage media to handle high sediment loads and chemical fluctuations without compromising flow or efficiency.

✅ Superior Contaminant Reduction Combines mechanical filtration with activated carbon and optional membrane technologies (e.g., UF or RO) to reduce:

Sediment & silt

Chlorine & taste/odour compounds

Bacteria & cysts (e.g., Giardia, Cryptosporidium)

Heavy metals (e.g., lead, arsenic)

✅ Long-Lasting Performance High dirt-holding capacity reduces clogging and extends filter life — ideal for areas with seasonal runoff or tank water containing organic debris.

✅ Compliant with Australian Standards Tested and certified to meet or exceed AS/NZS 3499 and other relevant water quality standards, ensuring safety and reliability in domestic, commercial, and industrial applications.

✅ Ideal for Australian Conditions

Suitable for rainwater harvesting systems

Resilient in drought and flood cycles

Low maintenance for remote installations

Perfect For:

Homes using roofwater or bore water

Coastal properties with saline-influenced supplies

Off-grid and rural communities

Healthcare, food service, and hospitality seeking pristine water quality

Experience Water, Pure and Australian-Tough. High filtration accuracy isn’t just about clean water — it’s about confidence in every drop, no matter where you are in Australia.

It seems like your message might be incomplete or contain a typo. If you’re referring to “Designed for Australian Water”, here are a few possible interpretations and ways to clarify or expand on that:

1. If you’re referring to a product or system:

“Designed for Australian Water” could mean a product (e.g., water filtration system, plumbing fixture, appliance) engineered to meet the unique qualities and standards of Australian water supplies.

Example description:

Key features might include:

• Compatibility with hard and soft water regions
• Resistance to chlorine and sediment common in municipal supplies
• Compliance with Australian Standards (e.g., AS/NZS 3499 for water filters)
• Suitability for rainwater harvesting systems (common in rural areas)

2. If you’re working on branding or marketing:

You might say:

This emphasizes local adaptation and reliability.

3. If you’re referring to infrastructure or engineering:

Australian water systems vary greatly — from desalinated seawater in Perth to groundwater in the Outback. A system “designed for Australian water” may need to account for:

• Drought resilience
• Flood preparedness
• Native ecosystem protection
• Remote area deployment
