Increasing safety and confidence in flood resistance products

Flooding can have an overwhelming personal and financial impact, including loss of valuable personal possessions, displacement, and difficulty with insuring and even selling a home.

How can we be sure that flood resistance products will do the job they’re meant to do and minimize the human and economic costs of flooding?

BSI provides certification to the British Standard BS 851188, and the BSI Kitemark™ for Flood Resistance, providing reassurance to those vulnerable to flooding – as well as construction companies, insurers, local authorities, and manufacturers of flood-resistant products and systems – that certified flood resistance products are fit for purpose and will provide protection when it’s most needed.
