20、anitary appliances”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2015, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
21、February 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14428:2004+A1:2008. This document has been
22、prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation. For relationship with EU Construction Products Regulation, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of
23、this document. The main technical change is the deletion of the Impact resistance/shatter properties clause and its replacement by a reference to the new edition of EN 12150-1. The other significant change is the updating of the AVCP clause and Annex ZA to the new format. According to the CEN/CENELE
24、C Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Icel

32、half-height access door(s) erected on or around a drained shower place, shower tray or bath in conjunction with one or more walls of the main building structure to provide a water retaining area for the purpose of showering 3.2 shower cabinet prefabricated but not necessarily preassembled unit for t
33、he purpose of showering comprising a shower tray or bath and rigid water resistant enclosing wall(s), with or without a roof and with an entry capable of being closed to provide a fully enclosed compartment BS EN 14428:2015EN 14428:2015 (E)EN 14428:2015 (E) 6 4 Requirements 4.1 General The manufactu
34、rer shall provide with each shower enclosure detailed instructions on installation and use, to include at least the following information: description of installation with special consideration of building construction and necessary tools and sealant; instructions for appropriate maintenance and car
35、e, including guidance on cleaning. 4.2 Cleanability When inspected visually, the surfaces of the components of the shower enclosures which are accessible during use and cleaning shall be free from sharp corners, edges and burrs. When using recommended cleaning agents in accordance with the manufactu
36、rers installation and care instructions, there shall be no reduction in safety or function of the shower enclosure. 4.3 Impact resistance/shatter properties 4.3.1 General Shower enclosures may be glazed with various materials. Where glass is used, this shall meet the requirements of 4.3.2 or 4.3.3 a
37、nd where plastics materials are used, they shall meet the requirements of 4.3.4. 4.3.2 Thermally toughened safety glass 4.3.2.1 Thermally toughened flat safety glass Thermally toughened safety glass shall meet the requirements of prEN 12150-1:2013. 4.3.2.2 Thermally toughened curved safety glass Tes
38、t in accordance with 5.1 to ensure that under these test conditions the glass has a particle count of 40 or greater and the length of the longest particle shall not exceed 100 mm. 4.3.3 Laminated safety glass Laminated safety glass shall conform to EN 14449 and EN ISO 12543-2. Laminated safety glass
39、 shall not have holes, for example for fixings, hinges, handles or any other fittings. NOTE Laminated safety glass is susceptible to water penetration from the edges if they are not suitably protected. 4.3.4 Plastics materials When tested in accordance with 5.2, sheets shall not break or they shall
40、break safely. 4.4 Durability 4.4.1 General Products conforming with the requirements of 4.2 and 4.3 and the following are deemed to be durable. BS EN 14428:2015EN 14428:2015 (E)EN 14428:2015 (E) 7 4.4.2 Corrosion resistance All components shall consist of corrosion-proof materials or shall be corros
41、ion-protected. All corrosion protection performances shall be evaluated with test methods specified in an appropriate European or International Standard. The standard used and the results of the test shall be recorded. Examples of minimum requirements: the minimum paint adhesion performance for powd
42、er-coated or wet-painted surfaces has a cross-cut value g148 2 when tested in accordance with EN ISO 2409; the minimum average thickness of coating on aluminium is of grade AA5 when tested in accordance with one of the methods given in EN ISO 7599. In no cases is minimum local thickness less than 80
43、 % of the minimum average thickness. Compliance with the neutral salt spray (NSS) test e.g. as specified in EN ISO 9227 corrosion test in artificial atmospheres - salt spray tests with a minimum exposure time of 200 h; The defect surface area A is less than or equal to 0,1 % (A g148 0,1 %). The defe
44、cts do not exceed a dimension of 0,3 mm. This list is not exhaustive. 4.4.3 Resistance to chemicals and stains When tested in accordance with 5.3 the glazing materials shall not show permanent staining or deterioration. 4.4.4 Resistance to wet and dry cycling When tested in accordance with 5.4, the
45、glazing materials shall not show any cracks, crazing or discoloration. Uncoated and unpainted thermally toughened safety glass is deemed to be resistant to wet and dry cycling and need not be tested. 4.4.5 Endurance When tested in accordance with 5.5, shower enclosures shall not show any functional
46、deterioration after 20 000 closing-opening cycles. 4.4.6 Stability When tested in accordance with 5.6, shower enclosures shall withstand an energy representing the impact of a human body on a large impact area (e.g. blow from shoulder, fall) without any functional deterioration which could result in
47、 injury to the user. 4.4.7 Water retention When tested in accordance with 5.7, shower enclosures shall retain water. A few small drops of water on the outside of the water retaining area are acceptable. Where shower enclosures are intended for installation in wet room environments (where watertightn
48、ess is not required), water may temporarily pass outside the water retaining area as long as it is drained to the water retaining area. 4.5 Dangerous substances National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and sometimes content, when construction
49、products covered by this standard are placed on those markets. In the absence of European harmonized test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use.
