The European Bathroom Forum (EBF) has circulated details of a commitment that is required from the industry in order to create an acceptable Voluntary Agreement for taps and showers.

Unified Water Label director and CEO of the BMA Yvonne Orgill said: “This is a significant advancement forward for the industry but the real work starts now.

“Manufacturers must support us over the next two years, by registering all taps and shower products and making the UWL visible.

“A body will be formed to drive this forward so that an independent auditor can assess if the requirement that 80% of the market is using the UWL is achieved.”

Carlos Velazquez stated: “We all recognise that this is a huge task, but one the industry is more than capable of achieving.”

The next EBF meeting will take place in Brussels on Feb 5 to formally agree the commitment.
