ISO 4533, Vitreous and porcelain enamels - Determination of resistance to hot detergent solutions used for washing textiles. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 bath sanitary appliance used for partial immersion and washing of the human body or parts of it, and for directing water to a waste outlet after use 3.2 cleanability characteristics which allow the surface intended to come into contact with water to be non-absorbent and readily kept visually free from dirt and/or stains when subject to a maintenance regime which may include, when appropriate, specific instructions for use and care specified by the manufacturer 3.3 durability of cleanability attributes of materials and their surfaces intended to come into contact with water, which allow cleanability for the anticipated working life of the product
bleach may be replaced by sodium percarbonate (2Na2CO3 · 3H2O2) prepared as follows: Dissolve 1g of a commercial available powdery bleach based on sodium percarbonate containing 15 % to 30 % of the active component in 100 ml deionised water at room temperature.
4.3.3.2 Particular requirements for baths made of enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron Baths made from enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron shall comply with the requirements given in Table 2. Table 2 — Requirements for baths made of enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron Requirement Parameter Test method Resistance to boiling water < 10g/m2 ISO 2744 Resistance to cold citric acid Class 2 ISO 2722 Resistance to boiling citric acid < 5g/m² ISO 2742 Resistance to cold sulphuric acid Class 2 EN ISO 8290 Resistance to alkali solutions < 8 g/m² Test apparatus according to ISO 2742 Test solution according to ISO 4533 Duration of test: 2,5 h
4.3.4 Resistance to temperature changes When tested in accordance with 5.3, all baths shall show no evidence of distortion or other defects, e.g. crazing, which will impair their cleanability. Experience has shown that baths manufactured from the stainless steel grades listed in Annex A, enamelled steel, enamelled cast iron and glazed ceramics comply with this requirement. 4.4 Dangerous substances NOTE See Annex ZA, ZA.1 and ZA.3. 5 Test methods 5.1 Stability of the bottom of the bath 5.1.1 Test apparatus adequate number of reinforced cloth bags each with dimensions of approximately 500 mm x 200 mm filled with lead shot, iron shot or sand of a mass of 25 5,00+ kg or 12,5 5,00+ kg.
Figure 1 — Load application (for each user) Leave the total load for 10 10+ min. Without moving the bags representing the mass of water that can be contained, move the pile(s) of bags representing a user(s) to a different position(s) along the bottom of the bath and leave again for 10 10+min. When a bath has a clearly indicated position for a user to stand or to sit, e.g. a slip resistant feature or a seating area, carry out one loading test with a pile of bags representing a user, at the approximate centre of any such feature. On completion of the tests remove all the bags. After 10 10+ min verify that the bath complies with 4.3.2 by pouring copious amounts of water coloured in contrast with the colour of the bath around all the inner surface of the sides of the bathing area. 5.2 Resistance to chemicals and staining agents
