An essential reference for self certificating plumbers, building services engineers, civil engineers, and trainee plumbers following either C&G 6129 or NVQ level 3. A topic-based approach provides the reader with an exceptionally quick source of information on all aspects of the water regulations as they relate to a specific area of working practice, which maximises easy identification of practical problems and regulations compliance without having to trawl through lengthy, complicated coverage of the regulations themselves. The book explains the meaning of the water regulations, their current status, requirements, associated documentation and how UK local authorities, councils and the water supply companies view their importance, and how and why you need to comply with them. Throughout the book there is a series of 'what ifs', with answers provided for the most common questions that might be asked. Ray Tricker is the Author of the best selling books: Building Regulations in Brief and Wiring Regulations in Brief. * Clear, precise reference for UK water regulations and standards ... no need to search through many publications to gain the information you need * Topic based presentation of the content links related areas of working practice for ease of reference ... a practical working reference tool for you * An informal writing style maximises accessibility, avoiding legal jargon and complex regulations definitions .... for quick understanding and clarity
