BS EN 16578:2016EN 16578:2016 (E) 4 Introduction This European Stan
20、dard supports the (harmonized) European Standards on ceramic sanitary appliances elaborated by CEN/TC 163 on assessing the sustainability for these products. This European Standard provides a system for sustainability assessment of ceramic sanitary appliances using a life cycle approach, featuring q
21、ualitative and quantitative indicators for ecologic, economic and social performance of sanitary ceramic appliances. The purpose of this European Standard is to provide requirements and classification values for the assessment of the sustainability of ceramic sanitary appliances. Selected parameters
22、 assessed in accordance with this standard represent the main parameters defined in EN 15804. This European Standard may be used to support environmental building assessment and environmental product declarations (EPDs). The structure and the parameters of EN 15804 mandatory requirements from inform
23、ation modules A1 to A3 - are used as a basis for the ecological criteria of this European Standard. A system with sustainability classes 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 o
24、f evaluation schemes. Evaluation schemes enable the comparison of different ceramic sanitary appliances. NOTE EPDs based on EN 15804 are not comparative assertions (see EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, 5.1). These EPDs are necessary for environmental assessment of building only. BS EN 16578:2016EN 16578:2016
25、(E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies sustainability requirements together with assessment methods and evaluation schemes for ceramic sanitary appliances, i.e. WC pans and WC suites in accordance with EN 997, urinals in accordance with EN 13407, wash basins in accordance with EN 14688, comm
26、unal washing troughs in accordance with EN 14296 and bidets in accordance with EN 14528. NOTE This European Standard may be applicable to other ceramic sanitary appliances. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indisp
