TMV Testing is Not Optional: Meeting Australian Standards
TMV testing is mandatory for commercial and public properties; it's not just good practice, it's required by law. 👩🏻⚖️
You must have these thermostatic mixing valves tested and certified every year, as required by Australian Standards, to ensure they're working perfectly.
If you ignore this mandatory requirement, your business risks serious legal liability and potential fines.
We ensure your system meets all requirements, protecting your occupants and your legal liability.
Our Thermostatic Mixing Valve Testing & Servicing Process
Time is money, and we know that compliance is simply not negotiable for your business.
Our TMV testing process is fast, efficient, and we give you all the required documentation to meet Australian Standards.
We don't just check a box; we guarantee the valves are safe and working right.
The Compliance Check (What Our Plumbers Do)
When our licensed plumber arrives, they'll perform these essential checks to make sure the TMV is compliant:
✅ Temperature Test: We test the water temperature at the nearest outlet to make sure it delivers water no hotter than 50°C.
✅ Fail Safe Check: We check that the valve shuts off the hot water right away if the cold water supply stops. This is the crucial step that prevents scalding.
✅ Pressure and Flow: We check the pressure and flow rates to ensure the valve is mixing the hot and cold water efficiently.
✅ Reporting: We give you your formal compliance certificate and submit all the records required.
TMV Servicing & Calibration
If your TMV fails the audit, we don't just give advice; we fix it right away.
🔧 Servicing: We fully inspect and clean the internal parts to remove built up sediment and debris.
🔧 Calibration: If the temperature is off, we adjust the valve to make sure water leaves the tap at the legally required, safe temperature.
🔧 Replacement: If the valve is faulty or showing wear, we stock and install TMV replacement units on the spot, getting your system compliant fast.
Who Legally Requires Annual TMV Testing?
If your property fits any of these categories, the law requires you to have your TMV devices tested every 12 months.
👵 Aged Care Facilities: Protects elderly residents from serious scalding injuries.
👶 Childcare Centres & Schools: Protects children from dangerously hot water temperatures.
🩺 Hospitals & Medical Clinics: Maintains safe hot water delivery in clinical settings.
🏨 Hotels & Multi Story Accommodation: Ensures tenant safety, especially in high volume hot water systems.
The Danger: Why TMVs Fail the Audit
A faulty TMV can fail an audit for two big reasons:
⚠️ Scalding Risk: If the valve fails, it can send water hotter than 50°C to the tap, causing serious, instant burns.
⚠️ Legionella Risk: If the hot water storage tank temperature drops too low (below 60°C), harmful Legionella bacteria can grow. We must test the TMV to ensure the cold water isolation is working correctly to prevent cross contamination.
