Overview

EN 14296:2015/prA1 is a CEN standard covering sanitary appliances - communal washing troughs intended for domestic purposes and similar buildings. The amendment clarifies marking, testing and the relationship with the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR). The standard focuses on three essential characteristics: cleanability, load resistance and durability to support safe, hygienic and durable installations.

Key takeaways:

• Defines performance requirements for communal washing troughs used in places such as factory changing-rooms, sports clubs, student accommodation and hospitals (except where special medical provisions apply).
• Supports Declaration of Performance (DoP) and CE marking when cited in the Official Journal of the EU under Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011.

Key Topics

• Essential characteristics: The amendment explicitly addresses the three core characteristics abbreviated in marking as CA (Cleanability), LR (Load Resistance) and DA (Durability).
• Marking and designation: Table updates in Clause 7 revise the characteristics and abbreviations used for product description and marking to align manufacturer declarations with test results.
• Type testing and compliance: The amendment updates Table 2 in Clause 8.2.2 to specify type testing requirements: one sample for cleanability (clause 5.1) and one sample for load resistance (clause 5.2). Dangerous substances are addressed separately.
• Regulatory alignment (Annex ZA): The document includes a revised Annex ZA that maps relevant clauses to the CPR, indicates the applicable AVCP system (system 4), and outlines responsibilities for factory production control and manufacturer testing to establish DoP and CE marking.

Applications

This standard is directly applicable to manufacturers, specifiers, installers and procurement professionals specifying communal washing troughs for:

• Worker changing rooms and industrial facilities
• Sports and leisure centres
• Student and staff accommodation
• General-purpose wards and non-specialist healthcare areas

Practical benefits include:

• Improved hygiene through specified cleanability criteria
• Enhanced safety via verified load resistance
• Longer service life by meeting durability requirements
• Clear path to CE marking and DoP when used as a harmonized standard under the CPR

Related Standards

• EN 14296:2015 (base standard) - this amendment (prA1) modifies marking, testing and Annex ZA
• EU Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011) - for DoP and CE marking applicability

For manufacturers and project teams, EN 14296:2015/prA1 provides a practical framework to demonstrate performance for communal washing troughs and to ensure compliance with European regulatory requirements while focusing on hygiene, safety and longevity.
