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
If you allow your BCWWA cross connection control (CCC) certificate or membership to lapse for more than one (1) year, you will be required to take the full backflow assembly tester certification exam to become an active tester again.
- Find a BCWWA-accredited training institution and register for a backflow assembly tester recertification course.

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