New Mandatory Plumbing and Drainage Form 9 Released

The Department of Housing Local Government Planning and Public Works has released an updated version of the mandatory plumbing and drainage Form 9 – Registration and report on inspection and testing of testable backflow prevention devices.

Licensees must use the approved Form 9 to record the particulars of a backflow prevention device used for testing, the results of testing, and whether the device complies with AS/NZS 2845.3.

A transition period ending on 31 August has been suggested by the department. Acceptance of the old form is at the discretion of the Local Government receiving it. The amended Form 9 should be used from 15 May 2024 with an expectation that it will be the only Form 9 used after 31 August 2024.

MPAQ has prepared a 2-page version of the form for ease of use and can be downloaded along with other approved plumbing forms below.
