Sanitary tapware - Single taps and combination taps for water supply systems of type 1 and type 2 - General technical specification
SIST EN 200:2024

This document specifies:
a)   the field of application for pillar taps, bib taps, single and multi-hole combination taps for use in:
1)   a supply system of Type 1 (see Figure 1) with a pressure range of (0,05 to 1,0) MPa [(0,5 to 10) bar];
2)   a supply system of Type 2 (see Figure 2) with a pressure range of (0,01 to 1,0) MPa [(0,1 to 10) bar];
b)   the dimensional, leak tightness, pressure resistance, hydraulic performance, mechanical strength, endurance, corrosion resistance of the surface of the product, sequence of testing and acoustic characteristics with which sanitary tapware products including their components (flexible hose, pullout spray) need to comply where applicable;
c)   test methods to verify the characteristics.
The tests described in this document are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control or factory production control (FPC) tests carried out during manufacture.
This document is applicable to draw-off taps (single taps and combination taps) for use with sanitary appliances installed in rooms used for personal hygiene (cloakrooms, bathrooms etc.) and for food preparation (kitchens), i.e. for use with baths, basins, bidets, showers and sinks.
This document applies to sanitary draw-off taps of nominal size 3/8”, 1/2", 3/4" and 1” (PN 10).
The conditions of use and classifications are given in Table 1.

Sanitary tapware - General specifications for aerators
SIST EN 246:2022

This document specifies:
- the dimensional, mechanical, hydraulic and acoustic characteristics with which sanitary tapware aerators (with and without flow regulation) should comply;
- the procedures for testing these characteristics.
This document is applicable to:
- Sanitary tapware aerators intended to be mounted on tapware used with sanitary appliances in toilets, bathrooms and kitchens (e.g. single taps, combination tap assemblies, mechanical mixing valves, thermostatic mixing valves);
- Sanitary tapware aerators used under the following pressure and temperature conditions (see Table 1).
[Table 1: Conditions for the use of aerators]
NOTE 1   Sanitary tapware aerators can only be connected downstream of the obturator of the sanitary tapware product.
NOTE 2   For the purposes of brevity, sanitary tapware aerators will be detailed only as aerators in the rest of this document.
NOTE 3   The tests described in this document are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture.
NOTE 4   Aerator swivels are to be tested in combination with a specific aerator only and are therefore considered to be sanitary tapware accessories. (Testing of the stand-alone swivels is therefore not covered by the scope of this document. Where swivels are used they are considered to be part of the tapware constructions, e.g. for bidet taps).

Sanitary tapware - Low pressure thermostatic mixing valves - General technical specification
SIST EN 1287:2017

This European Standard specifies general construction, performance and material requirements for PN 10 thermostatic mixing valves (TMV) and includes test methods for the verification of mixed water temperature performance at the point of use below 45 °C. This does not exclude the selection of higher temperatures where available. When these devices are used to provide anti-scald protection for children, elderly and disabled persons the mixed water temperature needs to be set at a suitable bathing temperature (body temperature - 38 °C) as children are at risk to scalding at lower temperatures than adults. This does not obviate the need for supervision of young children during bathing.
It applies to valves intended for use on sanitary appliances in kitchens, washrooms (incl. all rooms with sanitary tapware, e.g. toilet and cloakrooms) and bathrooms operating under the conditions specified in Table 1.
This standard allows TMVs to supply a single outlet or a small number of outlets in a "domestic" application (e.g. one valve, controlling a shower, bath, basin and/or, bidet), excluding valves specifically designed for supplying a large number of outlets (i.e. for institutional use).
The tests described are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture.

This does not exclude the selection of higher temperatures where available. When these devices are used to provide anti-scald protection for children, elderly and disabled persons the mixed water temperature needs to be set at a suitable bathing temperature (body temperature approximately 38 °C) as children are at risk to scalding at lower temperatures than adults. This does not obviate the need for supervision of young children during bathing.
