17、all be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this docu

This document supports the unified approach for the assessment of sustainability of ceramic sanitary appliances, i.e. WC pans and WC suites, urinals, wash basins,
19、 bidets and communal washing troughs, in the light of the document CPR 06/10/1 of European Commission - Enterprise and Industry - Sustainable Industrial Policy and Construction. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bou

DIN EN 16578:2016-07 EN 16578:2016 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard supports the (harmonized) European Standards on ceramic sanitary appliances elaborated by CEN/TC 163 on assessing the sustainability
22、 for these products. This European Standard provides a system for sustainability assessment of ceramic sanitary appliances using a life cycle approach, featuring qualitative and quantitative indicators for ecologic, economic and social performance of sanitary ceramic appliances. The purpose of this
23、European Standard is to provide requirements and classification values for the assessment of the sustainability of ceramic sanitary appliances. Selected parameters assessed in accordance with this standard represent the main parameters defined in EN 15804. This European Standard may be used to suppo
24、rt environmental building assessment and environmental product declarations (EPDs). The structure and the parameters of EN 15804 mandatory requirements from information modules A1 to A3 - are used as a basis for the ecological criteria of this European Standard. A system with sustainability classes
25、has been introduced to express the performance of ceramic sanitary appliances. The link between these classes and the assessment of the products form a framework of evaluation schemes. Evaluation schemes enable the comparison of different ceramic sanitary appliances. NOTE EPDs based on EN 15804 are
26、not comparative assertions (see EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, 5.1). These EPDs are necessary for environmental assessment of building only. DIN EN 16578:2016-07 EN 16578:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies sustainability requirements together with assessment methods and evaluation schemes f
