EN 15091:2006 (E) 6 Introduction This standard is relevant for electrically operated (opening and closing) sanitary tapware used with sanitary appliances. Such tapware can be operated by any electrical source e.g., mains, battery, etc. Flow and temperature regulation devices installed either upstream or downstream of the tapware are not covered by this specification. The purpose of this standard is to define requirements for the: Marking, identification, leak-tightness, electrical and operational safety, mechanical performance and limitation of water hammer for electrical opening and closing tapware. Dimensional, hydraulic, endurance, limitation of water hammer and acoustic characteristics are covered by the relevant product standards, when they exist. Procedure of tests in order to verify these characteristics. As for possible unfavourable effects of the product to which this standard applies, on the quality of water intended for human consumption: 1) no information is provided by this standard on possible use restrictions of the product in any of the member states of the EU or EFTA; 2) it should be noted that, while awaiting the adoption of verifiable European criteria, existing national regulations concerning the use and/or characteristics of this product remain in force. Requirements for different products are defined in different clauses of this standard as illustrated in Table 1. Table 1 — Identification of the clauses of this standard

EN 15091:2006 (E) 7 1 Scope The purpose of the document is to define requirements for marking, identification, leaktightness, electrical and operational safety and mechanical resistance for sanitary tapware with opening and closing controlled electronically. The conditions of use for the supply system type are specified in Table 2: Table 2 — Conditions of use Limits of use Water supply system
Tapware with monostable solenoid valves Tapware with bistable solenoid valves Recommended limits of operation Minimum dynamic pressure 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar)0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) (0,1 to 0,5) MPa [(1 to 5) bar] Type 1 (see Figure 1) Maximum static pressure 1 MPa (10 bar) 0,8 MPa (8 bar)
Minimum dynamic pressure 0,01 MPa (0,1 bar)0,01 MPa (0,1 bar) (0,01 to 0,2) MPa [(0,1 to 2) bar] Type 2a (see Figure 2) Maximum static pressure 0,8 MPa (8 bar) 0,6 MPa (6 bar)
Temperature of the water ≤ 75 °C ≤ 75 °C ≤ 65 °C
a For Type 2, The manufacturer is to declare the minimum operating pressure at which opening, closing and the specified flow rate can be obtained. There is usually no acoustic classification for tapware used in supply systems of Type 2 and no specifications governing the level of noise emissions from these water installations. If supply pressures are such that excessive noise is generated it is recommended that pressure or flow regulators are fitted in the system. Or where practicable, tapware conforming to the appropriate acoustic classification are used. Table 3 — Performance characteristics to be noted if used outside the recommended operating range Issue Supply system type 1 Supply system type 2 Flow performance Taps for Type 2 systems may result in excessive flow velocity Taps for Type 1 system may not provide an acceptable flow rate Noise National regulations shall be observed, the criteria for classification in acoustic groups according to these national (special) regulations being different and more detailed than those given in this standard Taps for type 1 and type 2 systems may result in excessive noise when used above the recommended pressure.

Tapware intended for Type 1 water supply systems are operated at a dynamic pressure of (0,3 ± 0,02) MPa [(3 ± 0,2) bar]. Tapware intended for Type 2 water supply systems are operated at a dynamic pressure of (0,02 ± 0,005) MPa [(0,2 ± 0,05) bar]. Whilst water is flowing from the tap, the electrical supply is cut off. The tapware shall always close.



EN 15091:2006 (E) 14 4.5.5.2 Test procedure and requirements for battery operated tapware The test is conducted with cold water. The principle of the test consists of verifying that when the battery looses its charge, the tapware closes. Tapware intended for Type 1 water supply systems is operated at a dynamic pressure of (0,3 ± 0,02) MPa [(3 bar ± 0,2) bar]. Tapware intended for Type 2 water supply systems is operated at a dynamic pressure of (0,02 ± 0,005) MPa [(0,2 ± 0,05) bar]. During testing the battery is replaced by an adapted power supply with adjustable voltage. Beginning at 0,9 x Un (battery nominal voltage), actuate the valve and immediately after closing the tap, reduce the voltage in steps of 0,1 V. After 10 s, actuate again with the reduced voltage. Repeat the test until the tap does not operate. After finishing the test, the tap must not remain open. 4.6 Leaktightness characteristics 4.6.1 General The tests described are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture. This clause specifies test methods for verifying the leaktightness of electronic tapware and defines the corresponding requirements (see Table 3). Tests are carried out with cold water. 4.6.2 Leaktightness of the obturator and of the tapware upstream of the obturator 4.6.2.1 Principle The principle of the test consists of checking under cold water pressure the leaktightness of the tapware (body, head-body unit, etc.) 4.6.2.2 Apparatus A hydraulic test circuit capable of supplying the required static and dynamic pressures and of maintaining them throughout the duration of the test. 4.6.3 Leaktightness of tapware upstream of the obturator 4.6.3.1 Procedure Connect the tapware to the test circuit with the outlet orifice open, and generally turned downwards. With the obturator closed, apply a static water pressure at the inlet of the tapware of (1,6 ± 0,05) MPa [(16 ± 0,5) bar] for (60 ± 5) s.



EN 15091:2006 (E) 15 4.6.3.2 Requirements Throughout the duration of the test there shall be no leakage at the obturator and no leakage or seepage through the walls. 4.6.3.3 Leaktightness of tapware downstream of the obturator This test only applies to tapware (Clause 5) and urinal flushing valves (Clause 6). 4.6.3.4 Procedure  Connect the tapware to the test circuit with the outlet orifice(s) artificially closed, and generally turned downwards;  open the obturator(s);  apply a static water pressure of (0,4 ± 0
