Overview

SIST EN 13310:2015/oprA1:2017 is a European Standard developed by the CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 163, focusing on the functional requirements and test methods for kitchen sinks used for domestic purposes. This standard ensures that kitchen sinks, when installed as per manufacturers’ instructions, deliver satisfactory performance in everyday environments such as homes, hotels, student accommodations, hospitals, and similar buildings. It specifically excludes industrial kitchen sinks and does not cover aesthetic or overall dimensional requirements, allowing manufacturers flexibility in design while meeting essential functional criteria.

This amendment to EN 13310:2015 articulates updates related to testing procedures, marking requirements, and compliance criteria aligned with the EU Construction Products Regulation (EU CPR), promoting safety, durability, and quality in kitchen sink products for a harmonized European market.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  Applies to kitchen sinks intended for food preparation, dishwashing, and domestic wastewater discharge in residential or similar settings. Excludes aesthetic dimensions and industrial sinks.

• Functional Requirements

  • Cleanability: Ensures sink surfaces can be cleaned effectively.
  • Load Resistance: Relevant for wall-hung sinks, confirming structural stability under expected loads.
  • Durability: Long-term performance under normal domestic use conditions.

• Test Methods and Procedures
  The amendment refines test procedures, including:

  • Applying a precise weight during resistance testing (2.0 ± 0.1 N).
  • Use of three test specimens from identical sink models for accuracy.
  • Updated marking system abbreviations and labeling criteria to ensure clear product information.
  • Defined type testing for key characteristics such as resistance to dry heat, temperature changes, chemicals, scratching, abrasion, load, and overflow flow rate.

• Compliance and Certification
  The standard aligns with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011, facilitating CE marking based on the Declaration of Performance (DoP). The annex details the system for Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP), which mandates factory production control for manufacturers to guarantee consistent product quality.

Applications

• Residential Buildings
  Assures homeowners and landlords that kitchen sinks used meet minimum functional performance standards for everyday use in houses and apartments.

• Commercial Accommodations
  Hotels, student housing, and hospitals benefit from sinks tested for durability and hygiene under high usage conditions.

• Manufacturing and Quality Control
  Sink manufacturers use this standard to design products that comply with European regulations and pass mandatory safety and performance tests.

• Regulatory Compliance
  By following SIST EN 13310:2015/oprA1:2017, manufacturers fulfill legal obligations for CE marking, aiding market access and customer trust.

Related Standards

• EN 13310:2015 – The base European Standard for kitchen sinks, with which prA1:2017 amendments must be used.
• EU Construction Products Regulation (EU CPR) No. 305/2011 – Governs the marketing of construction products, including sanitary appliances.
• EN 14688 – Covers test methods for sanitary appliances, which may complement testing related to kitchen sinks.
• Relevant National Standards – Each CEN member country incorporates EN 13310 and its amendments into their national standards framework, ensuring consistent application across Europe.
