EN 14516:2015+A1:2018 (E) 9 — adequate number of cloth bags (see 8.1.1) to simulate the mass of water that can be contained in the bath. The load shall equate to the volume of water with an accuracy of +250 kg, if 25 kg bags are used, or +12,50 kg, if 12,5 kg bags are used, when the bath is filled to the overflow. If no overflow is provided the volume to the overspill level shall be used. The volume can be determined by measurement, or values declared in the manufacturer’s documents can be used. 8.1.3 Procedure a) Install the bath in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. b) Position the bags to simulate the mass of water that can be contained along the bottom of the bath as shown in Figure 1. c) Position the adequate number of bags for each user that can use the bath at the same time in separate piles, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Load application (for each user) d) Leave the total load for 10 10+ min. e) 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. f) On completion of the tests remove all the bags. g) After 10 10+ min verify that the bath complies with 5.3.2 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. 8.2 Resistance to chemicals and staining agents 8.2.1 Principle The test is intended to give an indication of the effect of commonly used household chemicals and cleansing agents. 8.2.2 Test apparatus and chemicals 8.2.2.1 Chemicals and staining agents: A list of chemicals and staining agents to be used is specified in Table 1. Each chemical solution shall be prepared immediately before use with deionized water, and it shall be applied at a temperature (23 ± 5) °C. SIST EN 14516:2015+A1:2019

EN 14516:2015+A1:2018 (E) 11 b) Use each test area only once for each application. Clean the test area thoroughly with hot soapy water, rinse and wipe dry with a clean dry cloth. c) At each of the test areas deposit a drop of the test solution. Cover the drop with a watch glass concave face downwards. The drop size shall be such that it is completely covered by the watch glass. Leave for (120 ± 5) min with the test area protected from sunlight. d) Thoroughly rinse the test areas with deionized water and visually check for any adverse change in appearance. If any deterioration is noticed, dip the foam disc in deionized water and place it on the surface that was tested. Rotate the cleaning device at a speed of 60 min1. Clean for 30 revolutions. e) Rinse with deionized water, dry and visually re-examine the test areas. If any deterioration persists, repeat the cleaning process using the abrasive comprising 12 h-aluminia suspended in water and re-examine. 8.2.5 Expression of results a) Note the exact test area. b) Record: 1) whether or not the reagent causes a stain or deterioration of the surface; 2) whether or not such stain or deterioration is removed, and if so, whether with water or with water including abrasive agent. 8.3 Resistance to temperature changes 8.3.1 Apparatus 8.3.1.1 Water supply capable of discharging cold and hot water with temperatures, flow rates and volumes as defined in 8.3.2. 8.3.1.2 Pipe with a nominal diameter of 22 mm; 8.3.1.3 Thermometer with an accuracy of 1 % at the measured values; 8.3.1.4 Flow meter suitable for measuring a flow rate of (0,32 ± 0,032) l/s. 8.3.2 Procedure a) With the waste outlet open, discharge (50 ± 1) l of water through the pipe positioned not more than 125 mm above the overspill level of the bath. The pipe shall also be positioned so that the water impinges on the side of the bathing area nearest to the waste outlet hole, in a position where a supply fitting is likely to discharge. The temperature of water at the outlet of the pipe shall be (90 ± 2) °C and the flow rate into the bath shall be (0,32 ± 0,032) l/s. b) With the waste outlet closed, discharge immediately afterwards (100 ± 2) l of water at a temperature (12 ± 3) °C at the same flow rate through the same pipe in the same position. c) Leave the water in the bath for 10 10+ min then allow it to drain off. d) With the waste outlet closed, discharge water through the pipe positioned not more than 125 mm above the overspill level of the bath. The pipe shall also be positioned so that the water impinges on the side of the bathing area nearest to the waste outlet hole, in a position where a supply fitting is SIST EN 14516:2015+A1:2019
