WaterMark Certification

Trusted by design. Independently verified.

Choosing tapware shouldn’t come down to guesswork. WaterMark certification provides independent assurance that eligible plumbing products meet recognised Australian and New Zealand standards. That’s why Voda proudly offers a wide range of WaterMark certified products, giving homeowners, plumbers and merchants added confidence in every installation.

What is a WaterMark?

WaterMark is Australasia’s leading plumbing product certification scheme, providing independent verification that eligible plumbing products comply with applicable plumbing standards.

In Australia, WaterMark certification is mandatory for many plumbing products. In New Zealand, certification is currently voluntary, allowing manufacturers to choose whether to participate.

At Voda, we believe independent certification demonstrates our commitment to delivering products that meet recognised standards for quality, safety and performance.

Why WaterMark matters

Choosing certified products provides greater confidence for homeowners, plumbers, merchants and specifiers alike.

Independent verification

WaterMark certification involves assessment by accredited certification bodies to confirm products comply with the relevant plumbing standards.

Designed for drinking water applications

Many WaterMark certified Voda products are designed and tested to meet AS/NZS 3718, which incorporates the requirements of AS/NZS 4020 for products that come into contact with drinking water.

Ongoing compliance

WaterMark certification is not simply awarded once. Manufacturers are subject to ongoing certification and surveillance requirements to help ensure products continue to meet the required standards.

Confidence you can trust

When you choose a WaterMark certified Voda product, you can be confident it has been independently assessed against recognised plumbing standards.

WaterMark and drinking water safety

Products designed to comply with AS/NZS 3718, including the requirements of AS/NZS 4020, are independently tested to help ensure materials that come into contact with drinking water do not leach harmful substances beyond the limits specified by the standard.

These requirements support the protection of drinking water quality and align with the Drinking Water Standards for New Zealand.

Why Voda chooses WaterMark certification

Although WaterMark certification is voluntary in New Zealand, we believe independent certification provides added confidence in the products we design and supply.

Our commitment to quality extends beyond appearance and performance. By certifying many of our products through the WaterMark scheme, we demonstrate our focus on delivering tapware that meets recognised industry standards and supports long-term reliability.

Frequently asked questions about WaterMark

No. Unlike Australia, WaterMark certification is voluntary in New Zealand. Manufacturers may choose whether to certify eligible products.
No. WaterMark certification applies only to product types that are eligible or require certification under the scheme. Where applicable, certification is clearly identified on the individual product page.
Not necessarily. WaterMark certification and lead-free construction are different requirements.

WaterMark certification verifies compliance with applicable plumbing standards, while lead-free products are manufactured using materials that meet recognised lead-content requirements. Many Voda products are both WaterMark certified and manufactured using lead-free materials where applicable.

Many certified Voda products are designed and tested to comply with AS/NZS 3718, which incorporates AS/NZS 4020 requirements for products that come into contact with drinking water.

Individual product pages contain detailed certification and specification information.
