Dos and Don'ts for
Verifiers of WaterSense
Labeled Homes
The WaterSense® verifier promotional label provides a way for WaterSense
home verifiers authorized by a Home Certification Organization (HCO) to
incorporate the WaterSense label into their marketing and advertising. The label
can be used to indicate that an individual or entity verifies homes as meeting the
efficiency and performance criteria detailed in the WaterSense Specification for
Homes. Please follow these prerequisites for using the verifier promotional
label.
How do we use the WaterSense verifier promotional label?
•	DO use the "we verify" promotional label to advertise that an individual or
organization verifies homes as meeting the efficiency and performance
criteria listed in the WaterSense Specification for Homes.
•	DO use the verifier promotional label on marketing materials such as
websites, yard signs, trade show displays, vehicle magnets, postcards,
brochures, and business cards to promote verifying services.
•	DO NOT use the verifier promotional label in any way if you are not a
WaterSense home verifier authorized by an HCO.
•	DO NOT use the verifier promotional label to indicate a home has been
labeled or verified. HCOs will provide a certificate or sticker to identify homes
that have been verified to meet the WaterSense Specification for Homes.
•	DO NOT use the verifier promotional label to imply in any way that EPA
endorses verifiers who have been authorized by HCOs.
