Overview
SIST EN 16146:2013/kFprA1:2014 is a Slovenian standard developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), aligning with the European standard EN 16146:2012/FprA1. This document specifies the general technical requirements for extractable shower hoses used in sanitary tapware for two types of water supply systems (type 1 and type 2). It defines essential performance and safety criteria, providing manufacturers, suppliers, and users with the guidelines necessary for consistent product quality and compatibility within sanitary installations.
The standard is particularly relevant for applications involving sanitary installations, ensuring that shower hoses in tapware meet performance standards under various dynamic water pressures and flow conditions common in residential and commercial settings.
Key Topics
- Scope of Application: Focuses on technical specifications for extractable flexible shower hoses integrated into sanitary tapware.
- Water Supply System Classification: Differentiates requirements based on two types of supply systems, defined by operating pressures and flow rates.
- Performance Requirements: Establishes flow rate and pressure class requirements, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
- Temperature Limits: Provides guidelines on maximum operating temperatures to maintain product integrity and user safety.
- Testing and Compliance: References necessary test methods for evaluating conformity with defined parameters.
Applications
SIST EN 16146:2013/kFprA1:2014 is essential for:
- Manufacturers: Ensuring new and existing products, such as pull-out shower hoses for kitchen taps or shower mixers, fit seamlessly into modern sanitary installations.
- Plumbing Professionals: Selecting compliant components for renovation and construction projects, thereby reducing risks associated with incompatibility or premature failure.
- Quality Assurance: Providing a reliable reference for evaluating extractable shower hoses' performance during procurement or product certification processes.
- Health and Safety Compliance: Guaranteeing that shower hoses used in both residential and commercial projects adhere to relevant hygiene and safety protocols.
By following this standard, stakeholders in the sanitary tapware supply chain can assure customers of product safety, durability, and optimal performance-especially where water-saving or high-performance sanitary fixtures are required.

- EN ISO 228 - Pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are not made on the threads.
Practical Value
Adoption of SIST EN 16146:2013/kFprA1:2014 fosters higher standards across the plumbing and sanitary tapware industry, ensuring compatibility with European market requirements. This improves product reliability while reducing maintenance frequency for extractable shower hoses. The standard's emphasis on defined flow classes and operating pressures supports water conservation initiatives and reliable user experiences in both new construction and retrofitting scenarios.
