The Water Industry Registration Scheme (WIRS) is a UK-wide accreditation framework governed by Lloyd’s Register on behalf of water companies. It allows competent contractors to work on water infrastructure, including main laying, service connections, and under-pressure connections, under the self-lay provider (SLP) model. Holding a WIRS certificate proves your organisation meets rigorous standards in health, safety, quality, environmental and technical competency.
