Overview
EN 14428:2015/prA1:2017 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the functional requirements and test methods for shower enclosures intended for domestic use. This standard ensures that shower enclosures, when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, perform satisfactorily in everyday use. It excludes shower cabinets and curtains, focusing solely on enclosures designed for personal hygiene in homes, hotels, hospitals, student accommodations, and similar buildings, unless special medical provisions apply.
This revision includes amendments that update marking requirements, general testing procedures, and alignment with the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR), supporting CE marking and Declaration of Performance (DoP) processes.
Key Topics
Functional Requirements
The standard outlines essential performance characteristics including:- Cleanability
- Impact resistance and shatter properties (referencing EN 12150-1 for glass safety)
- Durability under normal use conditions
Test Methods
Prescribed tests verify compliance with functional criteria to ensure safety, reliability, and longevity. The amendment replaces previous impact resistance clauses with a direct reference to EN 12150-1, standardizing glass safety assessment.Marking and Documentation
Updated marking rules simplify designation codes, enabling clear communication of product characteristics and compliance status to consumers and regulatory bodies.Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP)
Defines procedures for manufacturers and notified bodies to certify product consistency, essential for CE marking under Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulation). AVCP ensures ongoing production meets declared performance levels.
Applications
Residential and Domestic Buildings
Ensures shower enclosures installed in private homes meet safety, durability, and hygienic performance standards.Hospitality Sector
Appropriate for use in hotels and student accommodations, guaranteeing reliable installation that supports intensive daily usage in public environments.Healthcare Facilities
Applicable in hospitals and similar care buildings where standard hygienic conditions meet patient needs. The standard excludes specialized medical shower enclosures requiring distinct provisions.Product Certification and Regulatory Compliance
Manufacturers utilize EN 14428:2015/prA1:2017 to demonstrate compliance with European regulations, enabling CE marking and market access across EU member states and EFTA countries.
Related Standards
EN 12150-1 – Glass in building - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass: Defines impact resistance and shatter properties for safety glass used in shower enclosures.
Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulation) – Governs the marketing of construction products and mandates CE marking and DoP declaration, supported by EN 14428 for shower enclosures.
Other Sanitary Appliance Standards (CEN/TC 163) – Additional standards covering sanitary installations and fixtures that complement EN 14428 performance requirements.
Key Benefits:
- Establishes mandatory safety and performance benchmarks for reliable shower enclosure products.
- Provides manufacturers with harmonized testing procedures to facilitate market access.
- Enhances consumer confidence through transparent marking and certification.
- Supports compliance with EU construction product regulations, ensuring legal market conformity.
By adhering to EN 14428:2015/prA1:2017, stakeholders in the sanitary appliances industry can ensure their shower enclosures meet the latest functional, safety, and regulatory expectations.
