Flood Protection Products and the BSI Kitemark

A specialist research company, HR Wallingford, has developed a certification scheme for Flood Products that is supported by the British Standards Institution. Suitable products are awarded a BSI Kitemark, a well-known quality standard for consumer goods.

The Kitemarked devices have been tested in a purpose-built rig at HR Wallingford's laboratories in Oxfordshire. The rig incorporates a row of terrace house 'fronts' complete with doors, windows, patio doors and airbricks, and a wave machine for realistic testing.

The facility can also test temporary freestanding devices such as barriers and tubes. The products have also been subjected to a factory test to ensure consistent manufacturing standards.
