Renewing Your Certification

Renew Every Year

To remain an active backflow assembly tester, you must renew your BCWWA CCC membership before the certificate/membership expiry date listed on your tester certificate/wallet card and your BCWWA online account.

Although you are no longer required to submit a copy of a valid test gauge calibration report to the BCWWA along with your renewal form, it is recommended that you calibrate your gauge on an annual basis in order to maintain the accuracy of the backflow assembly tests you perform.

Recertify Every Five (5) Years

To maintain certification, testers must take a recertification course (prior to the recertification exam) every five (5) years or if their CCC certificate and/or membership has lapsed for more than one (1) year.

  • Find a BCWWA-accredited training institution and register for a backflow assembly tester recertification course.
  • Find a BCWWA backflow assembly tester recertification exam and register online.

  • Review the most current version of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Canadian Cross Connection Control Manual. Order your manual now!

  • Complete the course and exam, with a minimum passing score of 75% on both the written and practical components (must test all three (3) devices) of the exam. A new tester certificate/wallet card will be issued by the BCWWA, once you have passed the exam.

Note: If you pass the recertification exam, a one-year BCWWA membership is automatically provided to you at no additional cost.
