Overview

EN 274-2:2002 is a CEN standard that specifies test methods for waste fittings used with sanitary appliances. It provides the procedures to verify that waste outlets, traps and overflows meet the performance requirements set out in EN 274-1:2002. The standard is intended for manufacturers, test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies involved with waste fittings for sanitary appliances.

Note: All figures in the standard are diagrammatic only.

Key topics and requirements

EN 274-2:2002 focuses on standardized, repeatable test procedures rather than on defining product performance limits (those are in EN 274‑1:2002). Key technical topics covered include:

• Scope of testing - which types of waste outlets, traps and overflows are subject to the standard and how test specimens are prepared.
• Test procedures - step‑by‑step methods to measure the performance characteristics required by EN 274‑1:2002.
• Test conditions - environmental and installation conditions under which tests are to be conducted to ensure repeatability and comparability.
• Measurement and recording - instrumentation, measurement points and data recording practices used during tests.
• Interpretation guidance - how test results relate to the performance requirements set out in EN 274‑1:2002 (note: acceptance criteria are referenced from Part 1).
• Illustrative diagrams - diagrammatic figures to clarify test setups (figures are for illustration only).

Because EN 274‑2:2002 defines methods rather than numerical limits, it ensures consistent assessment across products and laboratories.

Applications

This standard is practical for several stakeholders:

• Manufacturers and product designers - to validate product performance and to prepare test evidence for compliance with EN 274‑1:2002.
• Independent test laboratories - to perform accredited laboratory testing using the standardized methods.
• Certification bodies and regulators - to assess conformity and support type-approval of waste fittings.
• Specifiers and installers - to understand how product claims have been verified and ensure selected fittings meet expected performance.

Using EN 274‑2:2002 helps reduce technical disputes, supports market access in CEN member countries, and improves product reliability for sanitary installations.
