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.

1 Scope
This document applies to mobile non-sewer- connected toilet cabins system.

It specifies the requirements for services related to the provision of toilet cabins and the relevant

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;
— beaches;
— emergencies;
— military tactical and training exercises.

There are other types of mobile toilet cabins which are not connected to a sewage system (e.g. dry

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.

4.2 Frequency of use and service intervals on construction sites, agriculture and

industry

The frequency of use per person shall be three times during a standard working day.

The maximum number of uses per toilet cabin between two on-site services should be no more than

105 uses. This is based on 7 workers using the toilet cabin 3 times per day for 5 days/week.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16194:2022
prEN 16194:2022 (E)

The minimum on-site service frequency shall be once a week, after five standard working days of eight

The maximum number of uses per toilet cabin between two on-site services shall in no case exceed 100

for 6 hours and 125 for 12 hours.

If the events last more than six hours or twelve hours, the mobile toilet cabins shall be on-site serviced

at intervals of six hours or twelve hours or after each event on a mandatory basis. As a general rule,

they shall always receive 1 on-site service per 6 h interval or 12 hours interval.

4.4 Frequency of use, and service intervals at tourist, urban, natural and inland beaches

The estimated frequency of use per person shall be three times during a 12-h day.

The maximum number of uses per toilet cabin between two on-site services shall not exceed 156 uses.

The minimum on-site service frequency shall be once a day, on working days, Saturdays, Sundays and

minimum 2 per day, spaced between the 12 opening hours of the beach

Separate facilities for each sex shall be provided with hand-washing facilities or disinfection facilities.

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

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.
