What to check for Bedford
Bedford annual testing is strongest for commercial facilities; event-based testing still applies when assemblies are installed, replaced, repaired, or relocated.
- Due basis: Bedford says all backflow assemblies must be tested upon installation, replacement, repair, or relocation, while commercial facilities must have backflow protection assemblies tested annually.
- Notice or device clue: Look for the BPAT/tester registration context, Envirotrax record, service address, or assembly identifier.
- Who is affected: Bedford commercial facilities, irrigation systems, and any property with a backflow assembly installed, replaced, repaired, or relocated.
- Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
