3、7National forewordThis British Standard is the official English language version of EN 14124:2004.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/504, Water supply, to Subcommittee B/504/8, Terminal fittings, which has the responsibility to: A list of organizations rep
4、resented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary.Other informationBackgroundWhen this project first started in CEN/TC 164/WG 8 there were many debates about whether the text should be developed in two Parts or as two separate standards, to reflect requirements for typical pr
5、oducts made in mainland Europe or the UK. Discussion at the time was complicated by a similar debate concerning a sister specification being developed by CEN/TC 163 covering requirements for WC flushing cisterns (wherein inlet valves are used) and whether that should be drafted in two Parts, or in t
6、he case of cisterns, whether two classes should be included in a single specification.The introduction of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 had a significant impact on this debate from the UKs perspective, as they introduced regulatory requirements for the performance of WC suites,
7、but removed a previous bylaw requirement for flushing cisterns to be equipped with valveless outlet devices i.e. siphons. aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep UK intere

No. Date CommentsLicensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Fri Jul 14 08:25:38 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN 14124:2004iAfter considerable resistance, and intervention by CEN/BT and the EC, it was agreed that EN 997
10、 (the European standard being developed for WCs), should include two classes; one covering typical products made in mainland Europe, and the other covering the new UK regulatory requirements. This agreement led to a similar agreement concerning WC flushing cisterns wherein prEN 14055 includes two cl
11、asses. Again, one covers requirements for typical products made in mainland Europe, the other UK regulatory requirements.It took some time before the situation concerning EN 997 and prEN 14055 became apparent to those developing EN 14124, and it was only during the Formal Vote that major players sta
12、rted believing that the principle of two classes should be written into that also. However, it was too late. The new members of CEN, resulting from the recent enlargement of the European Union, all voted positively and consequently the text was approved by a very slim margin.The Bathroom Manufacture
13、rs Associations position, endorsed by BSI Technical Committee B/504The Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) took the view that arguing for inclusion of the UK regulatory requirements in EN 997 involved considerable expense. With WC flushing cisterns the pressure for two classes came from mainlan
14、d Europe. The BMA was unwilling to argue for classes in EN 14124, but agreed to the principle of referencing BS 1212 as Class 2 in a future revision of the standard, when it was suggested (in line with the principles adopted in EN 997 and prEN 14055). Members took the view that the Water Regulations
15、 made the UK requirements very clear, and that their inclusion in EN 14124 is almost irrelevant. However, they agreed that it would be reasonable to flag up the requirements of the regulations in this national foreword to avoid confusion for the reader.The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1
16、999Attention is drawn to the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Regulators Specification for WC Suites delivering a single flush of 6 litres maximum, or a dual-flush of 6 litres maximum, and a reduced flush of no greater than 2/3 of the maximum flush. The Regulators Specification
17、 for WC Suites requires inlet valves for WC flushing cisterns to comply with the requirements of BS 1212-2, -3 or -4. The requirements of BS 1212-2, -3 and -4 are not included in EN 12124. It is possible that the requirements of BS 1212-2, -3 and -4 will be referenced as Class 2 products in a future
