Overview
EN 14527:2016/prA1:2017 - "Shower trays for domestic purposes" (CEN) is a European Standard that defines requirements, test methods and conformity assessment procedures for shower trays intended for personal hygiene. The standard ensures that, when installed, used and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions, shower trays meet required cleanability and durability performance. It applies to all sizes and shapes of domestic shower trays and explicitly excludes trays for medical provisions. (Domestic use includes hotels, student accommodation, hospitals and similar buildings.)
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Covers all sizes/shapes for domestic purposes; excludes medical-use trays. Annex A lists common material characteristics.
- Performance focus: Primary essential characteristics are cleanability and durability when used for personal hygiene.
- Classification → Type: Amendment changes wording from “Class” to “Type” across clauses, designation codes and tables.
- Test methods and type testing: Specifies procedures for laboratory testing and type testing (separate provisions for Type 1 and Type 2 products). Sample numbers for tests are defined (see Tables 4 and 5 in the standard).
- Marking, labelling and packaging: Guidance on intended use declaration and designation codes; abbreviation PH may be used for “Personal hygiene” on CE marking.
- Conformity assessment & AVCP: Annex ZA links the standard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulation). It defines relevant Essential Characteristics, the Declaration of Performance (DoP) and the applicable Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) systems (notably systems referenced in the amendment; micro‑enterprises may use simplified procedures under specified conditions).
Practical applications
- Manufacturers use EN 14527:2016/prA1:2017 to design, test and declare performance (DoP) for shower trays and to prepare CE marking documentation.
- Test laboratories and notified bodies perform type testing and verify compliance with cleanability and durability requirements.
- Specifiers, architects and procurement teams reference the standard to select compliant shower trays for residential, hospitality and institutional projects.
- Installers and maintenance staff rely on manufacturer guidance shaped by the standard to ensure long-term performance and hygienic maintenance.
Related standards and regulatory links
- European Construction Products Regulation: Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 - Annex ZA of EN 14527 ties the standard to DoP and CE marking requirements.
- CEN/TC 163 (Sanitary appliances) is the responsible technical committee.
