How does my high-efficiency lavatory faucet or faucet accessory earn the WaterSense label?
The first step toward obtaining the WaterSense label is for the product manufacturer to enter into a WaterSense partnership agreement with EPA. Manufacturers can sign a WaterSense partnership agreement with EPA once a draft specification has been released for a product they produce or manufacture under a private label. Under the partnership agreement, manufacturers will have 12 months to obtain certification for a product that conforms to the relevant WaterSense specification. The second step is to have one of EPA’s licensed certifying bodies certify your product for conformance to the High-Efficiency Lavatory Faucet Specification. Manufacturers apply directly to the licensed certifying body for certification. Once your product is certified, the licensed certifying body will provide you with artwork for the WaterSense label with its name underneath. You must use this label in accordance with the WaterSense label use guidelines.
