Calibration of Test Equipment The test equipment used for testing BPA's shall be calibrated and certified annually. Certified calibration reports shall be submitted to the Global Water Backflow/Cross-Connection Control Program at backflow@gwresources.com. Failure to submit required certified calibration reports could result in 'non-compliance' of the program for the BPA customer. BPA testers will be held accountable to Global Water’s Tester Policy. Submission of Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing Reports The timely submission of accurate testing reports is an essential element in the smooth operation of Global Water's Backflow/Cross-Connection Control Program. In order to aid in this process, Global Water requires all BPA test reports be submitted electronically. Submit testing reports and the Tester's certification here. Backflow Test Report Form In addition to submitting the test report for each individual BPA, the following information will be required in the submission form: Owner information Water Company Backflow Device Serial Number Potable Water Meter Serial Number Backflow Tester Company Name Backflow Tester Contact Number Tester's email address When a test report is submitted electronically, a confirmation screen will appear with a unique identification number indicating the form has been submitted.

Inaccurate or incomplete reports will not be accepted. Reports lacking information or with inaccurate information will be sent back to the tester for correction.
