Overview
EN 14528:2015+A1:2018 - published by CEN - defines functional requirements and test methods for bidets intended for domestic purposes and manufactured in ceramics or stainless steel. The standard covers bidets used in homes, hotels, student accommodation, hospitals and similar buildings (except where special medical provisions apply). All drawings in the standard are illustrative only; alternative forms are permissible.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and materials
- Applies to domestic-use bidets made of ceramics or stainless steel.
- Includes wall-hung and pedestal designs.
- Functional characteristics
- Load stability: wall-hung and stainless-steel bidets must withstand a static load of (4.00 ± 0.1) kN without cracking or permanent deformation (see static load test).
- Cleanability: surfaces intended to contact water must be smooth, non‑absorbent and free of acute internal corners so they can be kept visibly clean under normal maintenance.
- Protection against overflowing: bidets must be protected against overflow. Integral overflow types are classified (CL25, CL20, CL15, CL00) with required minimum overflow flow rates: 0.25 l/s, 0.20 l/s, 0.15 l/s respectively; CL00 denotes no integral overflow (protection may be provided by non-closable outlet or floor gully).
- Durability: compliance with the above characteristics is taken as evidence of durability.
- Test methods
- Static load test using a 100 × 100 mm wooden beam and the specified load held for 1 hour.
- Cleanability assessment by visual inspection under suitable lighting.
- Overflow flow determination with the waste outlet closed and a 20 mm inner-diameter flexible supply tube; flow measured after a steady-state period (60 s) with a flow meter.
- Conformity & marking
- Manufacturer responsibilities include type testing, Factory Production Control (FPC) and declaration of performance (AVCP).
- Product designation codes (e.g., EN 14528 - CL 25) and essential characteristic abbreviations (OF, CA, LR, DA) are defined for marking and documentation.
- Other provisions
- Addresses dangerous substances and includes an informative Annex ZA relating the standard to EU Construction Products Regulation (No. 305/2011).
Applications and users
- Who uses EN 14528
