Your backflow device must be suitable for your property's hazard rating. A hazard rating measures whether your property is a high, medium or low hazard to our water supply system. Your accredited backflow plumber will assess your rating. Examples of hazard ratings for different businesses are shown in the Australian Standard, AS/NZS 3500:1.

That's why all connections to our water and recycled water pipes – including fire service connections – must be protected with devices for backflow prevention containment. Property owners are responsible for getting the right kind of backflow device installed.
