The wall thicknessshall be (2,5 ± 0,5) mm and the base thickness 2,55,00+ mm;d) heat source, for heating the vessel uniformly;e) stirrer;f) heat-insulating board;g) glycerol tristearate [C17H35CO2CH (CH2O2CC17H35)2] or any other material of similar specific heat which willproduce the same result.NOTEThe same glycerol tristearate or other material can usually be used for at least 20 tests, but if it has been heated toa temperature above 200 °C, or in case of dispute, fresh material should be used.5.3.2 Procedure¾ Fill the vessel with glycerol tristearate up to 10 mm below the top.¾ Fix the thermometer centrally in the vessel with its bulb about 6 mm from the bottom.¾ Use the heat source to raise the temperature of the glycerol tristearate to approximately 185 °C, stirring fromtime to time.¾ Transfer the vessel to the heat-insulating board.¾ Allow the temperature to fall to (180 ± 1)°C, stirring continuously.¾ Immediately place the vessel of hot glycerol tristearate in the centre of the bowl.¾ Allow to stand for 20 min without further stirring.¾ At the end of this period, remove the vessel and allow the kitchen sink to cool for a period of 45 min.¾ Using a sponge or brush spread a coloured test solution over the surface to be tested and allow 5 min for it toreact. Wipe off the reagent with a moist sponge and examine the kitchen sink. The coloured test solution shallbe prepared as follows: Add 1 ml liquid detergent to 100 g of eosine or methylene blue. This mixture shall bemade up with deionised water to a volume of 1 l.5.3.3 Test resultsNote any change of appearance of the tested surface of the kitchen sink when inspected from all sides with thenaked eye at a distance of 60 cm and illuminated by a cool neon light of 150 lx measured at the surface of thesample.5.4 Resistance to temperature changes5.4.1 Test apparatusa) Hot water supply, capable of delivering water at a temperature of about 95 °C;b) cold water supply, capable of delivering water at a temperature of about 15 °C;c) manifold, for connecting the hot water supply and the cold water supply to a discharge pipe;d) discharge pipe, with an internal diameter of 10 mm;

Thetemperature of this water at the outlet shall be (90 ± 2) °C.¾ During a resting time of (30 ± 1) s there shall not be any further supply of water.¾ Discharge through the pipe during a period of (90 ± 1) s cold water with a flow rate of (0,1 ± 0,01) l/s. Thetemperature of this water at the outlet shall be (15 ± 2) °C.¾ During a resting time of (30 ± 1) s there shall not be any further supply of water.¾ Repeat this procedure 1000 times without interruption. For kitchen sinks made from ceramic material stop thetest procedure after 5 cycles.¾ Using a sponge or brush spread a coloured test solution over the surface to be tested and allow 5 min for it toreact. Wipe off the reagent with a moist sponge and examine the kitchen sink. The coloured test solution shallbe prepared as follows: Add 1 ml liquid detergent to 100 g of eosine or methylene blue. This mixture shall bemade up with deionised water to a volume of 1 l.5.4.3 Test resultsNote any change of appearance of tested surface of the kitchen sink when inspected from all sides with the nakedeye at a distance of 60 cm and illuminated by a cool neon light of 150 lx measured at the surface of the sample.
