How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Louisiana?
Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing is regulated by two entities in Louisiana:
The Louisiana State Department of Health and Hospitals maintains a list of certified testers for the state, our single party exam as part of a 40-hour course did receive an approval through the DHH some time ago. The list of testers is posted online here - The full rules and regs are outlined in the Louisiana Admin Code 51: XII.344.B - a general tester is not licensed to repair or install preventers per the 51:12
The State Board of Plumbing of Louisiana (SBPLA) has a designation called the Water Supply Protection Specialist (WSPS), where this license certifies a Louisiana Master Plumber or Irrigator to test backflow preventers as well as install and repair them. More info on the WSPS program is listed on their website - www.spbla.com/cpe/wsps-certification
