EUSR

Supporting awareness of critical regulations across the water sector.

Regulation 31 (England and Wales) and Regulation 33 (Scotland and Northern Ireland) is critical to protecting drinking water quality. It ensures that materials and products used in clean water systems meet strict safety requirements.

Understanding where these requirements apply, and how to work in line with them, is essential for organisations and training providers.

The EUSR Products for Drinking Water scheme supports this by providing awareness of Regulation 31 requirements.

By strengthening understanding across the sector, the scheme supports compliance.

The new EUSR Utilities Labourer card is now available, replacing the Green Labourer card for new applications.

Existing Green Labourer cards remain valid until their expiry date and will continue to be accepted by construction sites.

The card is designed for individuals undertaking labouring duties only and is valid for five years. To be eligible, individuals must hold an in-date EUSR SHEA registration. No additional evidence is required for the initial registration.

Individuals working in skilled roles, or undertaking formal training, should apply for the appropriate EUSR CSCS Skilled Worker, Trainee or Apprentice card.

Regulations play a critical role in protecting drinking water quality.

Regulation 31 (England and Wales) and Regulation 33 (Scotland and Northern Ireland) ensure that all materials and products used in clean water systems meet strict safety standards.

Without proper understanding, there is a risk of non-compliance and potential impact on public health.
The EUSR Products for Drinking Water scheme supports this by providing awareness of these regulations.

It helps individuals and organisations understand where regulations apply and how to work in line with them.

This is about protecting water quality and demonstrating responsible practice across the sector.
