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.
A printed book is also available for purchase. The Backflow Test Result (Form 9) Book comes with 25 forms in triplicate and are designed in compliance with the Department's form.
