b. Be suitable for the circumstances it which it is used.  

Part 2: For the purposes of this regulation, a water fitting is of an appropriate standard or quality only if:
a. It bears an appropriate CE Mark.
b. It conforms to an appropriate harmonised standard.
c. It conforms to an appropriate British Standard.

d. It conforms to a specification approved by the regulator.
