Impulse Bathrooms questions relevance of WRAS accreditation
Published:  13 June, 2011

Impulse Bathrooms decided to get its 4.5/3 Tribune WC suite and EVO flush valve WRAS approved in 2005 - the first 4.5/3 WRAS certified flush in the UK.

The net result of this effort and expenditure was ‘practically zero’ according to general manager Gary Hawkins. He says the Tribune suite sells very well because of its compact 615mm projection, good looks and most importantly to the majority of customers, its competitive price. 

“The vast majority of retailers and most likely their customers have very little interest in its ability to save water,” says Gary “The certification expired in October last year and we will not be renewing. 

“It would appear to be an unnecessary expense in these times of economic constraint. The industry should insist that the need applies to all or none. Its apparent inability to enforce standards in many areas is rather frustrating to those like ourselves who comply in all aspects.”
