Introduction
For more than 60 years, mobile sanitation facilities have been used in many sectors of activity, public or
private. At the beginning, they were mainly used on various temporary or mobile construction sites; over
the years, they have become a practical facility in the following sectors: industry, agriculture, commerce,
training services, cultural events, leisure, concerts and outdoors festivals, beaches and parks, military
camps, refugee’s camps, public events, etc.
Whenever large numbers of people congregate for a long period of time in places where sanitation
facilities lack or are insufficient, the use of mobile toilet cabins not connected to the sewer has become a
common practice providing security, hygiene, healthiness, dignity and privacy.
Adequate provision of toilet cabins allows hygiene, healthiness, comfort, dignity and privacy.
This document complies with the three fundamental pillars of the Sustainable Development Goals,
promoting the best environmental management practices in a broad sense and constituting a large-scale
transversal commitment.
This document contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations:
— SDG 3 Health and Well-being.
— SDG 5 Gender Equality.
— SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation.
— SDG 11 Sustainable Cities. (Waste management).
— SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production.
— SDG 13 Climate action.

European foreword
This document (prEN 16194:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 183 “Waste
management”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16194:2012.
The significant changes made in EN 16194:2021 compared to EN 16194:2012 are:
— daily frequency of use by workers and users of mobile portable toilets increased;
— maximum number of uses per mobile portable toilet decreased in all sectors of application ;
— introduced the total capacity and/or waste capacity in the waste tank;
— introduced the minimum frequency of cleaning and emptying of the tank for each application
sector.

Introduction
For more than 60 years, mobile sanitation facilities have been used in many sectors of activity, public or
private. At the beginning, they were mainly used on various temporary or mobile construction sites;
over the years, they have become a practical facility in the following sectors: industry, agriculture,
commerce, training services, cultural events, leisure, concerts and outdoors festivals, beaches and
parks, military camps, refugee’s camps, public events etc.
Whenever large numbers of people congregate for a long period of time in places where sanitation
facilities lack or are insufficient, the use of mobile toilet cabins not connected to the sewer has become a
common practice providing security, hygiene, healthiness, dignity and privacy.
Adequate provision of toilet cabins allows hygiene, healthiness, comfort, dignity and privacy.
This document complies with the three fundamental pillars of the Sustainable Development Goals,
promoting the best environmental management practices in a broad sense and constituting a large-
scale transversal commitment.
This document contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations:
— SDG 3 Health and Well-being.
— SDG 5 Gender Equality.
— SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation.
— SDG 11 Sustainable Cities. (Waste management).
— SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production.
— SDG 13 Climate action.

requirements for toilet cabins and sanitary products, taking into account comfort, hygiene, health and
safety.
It specifies the minimum quality requirements for toilet cabins and sanitary products, as well as the
extent of on-site service and the required disinfection and the number of toilet cabins to be provided. It
also determines the frequency of use, the maximum number of uses per toilet cabins, the locations and
the intervals for on-site service or disposal of fecal water.
This document applies in the framework of activities carried out in the following sectors:
— construction and extractive industries, opencast or underground;
— public events and recreational activities, festivals and concerts;
— agriculture. Labour camps and temporary work camps;

toilets, composting toilets, incinerations toilets, vacuum toilets, or other technologies and processes)
and which are not covered by this European Standard.
This document establishes a system to ensure that mobile sanitation facilities for waste disposal are
available not only in the workplaces but wherever there are no waste disposal systems connected to a
sewerage network.
This document is directed at manufacturers, services providers' companies and publics or private cabin
hirers of toilet cabins not connected to a sewage network.

5 Type of supply of mobile non-sewer-connected toilet cabin
5.1 Supply on Construction sites (public or private), civil engineering and

Temporary or mobile construction sites, hereinafter referred to as “sites”, means any public or private
construction site on which construction or civil engineering works are carried out. A non-exhaustive list
of which is given in the European Directive 92/104/CEE, Directive 92/91/CEE and
Directive 92/57/CEE.
Construction sites shall be equipped with fixed toilet services, or mobile or temporary toilet cabins,
depending on the number of workers who are going to use them.
These facilities shall be progressively adapted as workers, including those of subcontracting
undertakings and self-employed workers, join the site, always in relation to the number of workers
simultaneously carrying out tasks on the site.
Where the number of workers in a workplace fluctuates greatly, the number of portable toilet-cabins
required shall be determined by the maximum number of workers present during a regular ordinary
working week, in force in each EU member country.
