NOTE See Figures 1 and 2
Figure 1 — Wall-hung bidet
Figure 2 — Pedestal bidet 3.2 cleanability characteristic which allows surfaces intended to come into contact with water to be visibly smooth, non-absorbent and free from unacceptable internal corners, such that they can be kept visibly free from dirt and/or stains when subject to a regular maintenance regime, which may include, when appropriate, specific instructions for use and care, as specified by the manufacturer 4 Requirements 4.1 Connecting dimensions The connecting dimensions for the supply and outlet fitting shall conform to the standards specified in Table 1, or the manufacturer shall either supply or recommend appropriate fittings. Table 1 — Standards for connecting dimensions Bidet Standard Pedestal bidet EN 35 Wall-hung bidet EN 36
4.2 Load stability When tested in accordance with 5.2, stainless steel and all wall-hung bidets shall withstand a force of
(4,00 ± 0,1) kN without showing any evidence of cracking and/or permanent deformation. 4.3 Cleanability When tested in accordance with 5.3, bidets shall have smooth and readily cleansed non-absorbent functional surfaces which are free from acute internal corners which would be difficult to clean, i.e. surfaces intended to or likely to come into contact with water during use. NOTE Functional surfaces do not include inlet and outlet holes, outlet grills etc. 4.4 Protection against overflowing 4.4.1 Bidets with overflow Every bidet shall be protected against overflowing. When tested in accordance with 5.4, the flow rate of the overflow shall not be less than the values given Table 2.

4.4.2 Bidets without overflow A bidet with a non-closable outlet or a floor gully may also be used as a protection against overflowing. In this case the bidet is related to class CL 00. 4.5 Durability Products conforming to the requirements of 4.2 to 4.4 are deemed to be durable. 5 Test methods 5.1 General All tests shall be carried out on the same sample bidet. Install the bidet to be tested on a firm flat horizontal or vertical surface as appropriate with a layer of mortar or other material to accommodate any unevenness. 5.2 Static load test  The bidet shall be fixed in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction onto a smooth surface with a layer of mortar or other facing material used for pointing between the back of the bidet and the smooth surface.  Gradually apply a force of (4,00 ± 0,1) kN on top of a wooden beam with a cross section of 100 mm × 100 mm positioned across the geometric centre of the bowl of the bidet parallel to the wall (see Figure 3). Allow the force to remain in position for a period of 1 h.  Record any failure to comply with 4.2. Any distortion at the points of direct loading shall not constitute a failure.
