What is Backflow & Why is it a Risk?
Backflow is the reverse flow of water within your plumbing system, allowing contaminated water to enter your clean water supply.
This can happen due to:
- Pressure drops in the main water supply
- Cross-connections in plumbing systems
- Back-siphonage from hoses, tanks, or equipment
Without proper backflow prevention devices, contaminants like chemicals, bacteria, and waste can enter drinking water.

Frequently Asked Questions – Backflow Prevention Iqp Testing Auckland
IQP backflow testing is the inspection and testing of a backflow prevention device by an Independent Qualified Person (IQP). The purpose of testing is to ensure the device is functioning correctly and continues to protect the drinking water supply from contamination.
IQP stands for Independent Qualified Person. An IQP is approved to inspect, maintain, and certify specified systems, including certain backflow prevention devices, in accordance with New Zealand building compliance requirements.
Yes. Most testable backflow prevention devices require annual testing to ensure they remain compliant and operate correctly. Regular testing helps protect public health and satisfies local authority and compliance obligations.
A Form 12A is a certificate issued by an IQP confirming that a specified system, such as a backflow prevention device, has been inspected and maintained in accordance with the compliance schedule requirements.
BWOF stands for Building Warrant of Fitness. Many commercial buildings require an annual BWOF to confirm that specified systems have been inspected and maintained. Backflow prevention devices may form part of these compliance requirements.

If a backflow prevention device fails testing, repairs or replacement may be required before compliance can be achieved. We can identify the cause of the failure, carry out any necessary repairs, and retest the device to help restore compliance.
