The ASSE Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester Certification is a nationally recognized credential that validates an individual's competency in testing, repairing, and maintaining backflow prevention assemblies. Administered by the American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE), this certification is a cornerstone credential for professionals in the cross-connection control and water protection industry. It demonstrates a thorough understanding of hydraulic principles, assembly mechanics, and the regulatory frameworks established by the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), and local ordinances. Certified testers are qualified to perform the legally required annual tests on reduced pressure principle assemblies (RP), double check valve assemblies (DC), pressure vacuum breakers (PVB), and other approved devices, ensuring the safety of potable water supplies from contamination. This credential is often mandated by water purveyors, health departments, and municipalities for individuals performing this critical public health function, making it an essential license-to-operate for professionals in plumbing, irrigation, and water utility sectors.
