21、4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the functional requirements and test methods for bidets used for domestic purposes and made from either ceramics or stainless steel. All drawings are examples only, other forms are permissible. NOTE For the purposes of this standard the term domestic purpos
22、es includes use in hotels, accommodation for students, hospitals and similar buildings, except when special medical provisions are required. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For
23、 dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

27、necting dimensions The connecting dimensions for the supply and outlet fitting shall conform to EN 35, or the manufacturer shall either supply or recommend appropriate fittings. 4.2 Load stability When tested in accordance with 5.2, stainless steel and all wall-hung bidets shall withstand a force of
28、 (4,00 0,1) kN without showing any evidence of cracking and/or permanent deformation. 4.3 Cleanability When tested in accordance with 5.3, bidets shall have smooth and readily cleansed non-absorbent functional surfaces which are free from acute internal corners which would be difficult to clean, i.e
29、. surfaces intended to or likely to come into contact with water during use. NOTE Functional surfaces do not include inlet and outlet holes, outlet grills, etc. 4.4 Protection against overflowing 4.4.1 Bidets with overflow Every bidet shall be protected against overflowing. When tested in accordance
30、 with 5.4, the flow rate of the overflow shall not be less than the values given in Table 1. BS EN 14528:2015EN 14528:2015 (E) 6 Table 1 Flow rates of overflow Overflow class Overflow rate l/s CL 25 0,25 CL 20 0,20 CL 15 0,15 CL 00 See 4.4.2 4.4.2 Bidets without overflow A bidet with a non-closable
31、outlet or a floor gully may also be used as a protection against overflowing. In this case the bidet is related to Class CL 00. 4.5 Durability Products conforming to the requirements of 4.2 to 4.4 are deemed to be durable. 5 Test methods 5.1 General All tests shall be carried out on the same sample
32、bidet. Install the bidet to be tested on a firm flat horizontal or vertical surface as appropriate with a layer of mortar or other material to accommodate any unevenness. 5.2 Static load test The bidet shall be fixed in accordance with the manufacturers instruction onto a smooth surface with a layer
33、 of mortar or other facing material used for pointing between the back of the bidet and the smooth surface. Gradually apply a force of (4,00 0,1) kN on top of a wooden beam with a cross section of 100 mm 100 mm positioned across the geometric centre of the bowl of the bidet parallel to the wall (see
34、 Figure 3). Allow the force to remain in position for a period of 1 h. Record any failure to comply with 4.2. Any distortion at the points of direct loading shall not constitute a failure.

37、 a failure. 5.4 Determination of flow rate of overflow The bidet shall be installed horizontally in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Close the waste-outlet hole(s). Introduce the water supply avoiding turbulence by means of a flexible tube with an inner diameter of 20 mm which leads t
38、o the bottom of the bowl. Adjust the quantity of water supply in such a way that no water spills over the rim or the tap platform of the bidet, whichever is the lowest. Read the water flow rate after a steady-state condition has been established for a period of 60 s by means of a flow-meter fitted i
39、nto the supply pipe. 6 Dangerous substances National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets. In the absence of European harmonized test methods, ve
40、rification and declaration on release/content should be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use. NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the Construction website on EUROPA. 7 Marking The intended use of b
41、idets is personal hygiene in accordance with the scope of this standard. NOTE The intended use is also mentioned in Annex ZA, Table ZA.1. The abbreviation “PH” for the intended use personal hygiene might be used for CE marking. A schematic drawing of the product might be used for CE marking. A schem
42、atic drawing of the product may optionally follow the abbreviation for personal hygiene. EXAMPLE 1 Use of full text: personal hygiene. EXAMPLE 2 Use of abbreviation: PH. EXAMPLE 3 Use of abbreviation and the optional schematic drawing: PH . Bidets belong always to one class and type at least. For ea
43、ch class and type a set of requirements to be tested (see 8.2.2) is defined. Due to this, a bidet can be described with a designation code which includes all fulfilled essential requirements. The relevant product characteristics and the Essential Characteristics for bidets including their abbreviati
44、ons are given in Table 2.
