Cold-water use, water efficiency, hot water supply and sanitary requirements for the bathroom are also included, as well as a focus on the main water regulation certification bodies, NSF, KIWA, and WRAS.

For those in charge of specification on developments, the certifications also highlights sustainable properties, with BREEAM and WELL being the leading certification schemes for sustainability, and safety across the built environment.

Channel director of residential and trade at Ideal Standard, Jo Edwards said: “Continuous training and development is central to maintaining industry standards and delivering bathrooms that work for end-users and housebuilders, which is why we are invested in creating CPDs for people across the bathroom and washroom sector.

“There’s a lot for specifiers to consider when it comes to designing a residential bathroom with durability, adaptability, hygiene, safety, and sustainability all being key areas to factor into designs.

“Our CPD, titled ‘specifying bathrooms for a sustainable, design-led future’ gives specifiers the information they need to make informed decisions on design, meet regulatory responsibilities and create bathrooms, that are both stylish and practical, now and into the future.”
