Consumers

The plumbing products you buy today will likely be used for over 10 years, impacting your water and energy bills long term. Choosing water efficient products can help you save water and money.  The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme makes this easy.

Industry

Before you sell or offer to supply products regulated under the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme, you must register those products with us. Everyone involved in the supply chain is responsible for making sure products are registered before they are supplied. This includes manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, retailers or building developers.
