When using recommended cleaning agents in accordance with the manufacturer's installation and care instructions, there shall be no reduction in safety or function of the shower enclosure. 4.3 Impact resistance/shatter properties 4.3.1 General Shower enclosures may be glazed with various materials. Where glass is used, this shall meet the requirements of 4.3.2 or 4.3.3 and where plastics materials are used, they shall meet the requirements of 4.3.4. 4.3.2 Thermally toughened safety glass 4.3.2.1 Thermally toughened flat safety glass Thermally toughened safety glass shall meet the requirements of prEN 12150-1:2013. 4.3.2.2 Thermally toughened curved safety glass Test in accordance with 5.1 to ensure that under these test conditions the glass has a particle count of 40 or greater and the length of the longest particle shall not exceed 100 mm. 4.3.3 Laminated safety glass Laminated safety glass shall conform to EN 14449 and EN ISO 12543-2. Laminated safety glass shall not have holes, for example for fixings, hinges, handles or any other fittings. NOTE Laminated safety glass is susceptible to water penetration from the edges if they are not suitably protected. 4.3.4 Plastics materials When tested in accordance with 5.2, sheets shall not break or they shall break safely. 4.4 Durability 4.4.1 General Products conforming with the requirements of 4.2 and 4.3 and the following are deemed to be durable. SIST EN 14428:2015
EN 14428:2015 (E) 7 4.4.2 Corrosion resistance All components shall consist of corrosion-proof materials or shall be corrosion-protected. All corrosion protection performances shall be evaluated with test methods specified in an appropriate European or International Standard. The standard used and the results of the test shall be recorded. Examples of minimum requirements: — the minimum paint adhesion performance for powder-coated or wet-painted surfaces has a cross-cut value ≤ 2 when tested in accordance with EN ISO 2409; — the minimum average thickness of coating on aluminium is of grade AA5 when tested in accordance with one of the methods given in EN ISO 7599. In no cases is minimum local thickness less than 80 % of the minimum average thickness. — Compliance with the neutral salt spray (NSS) test e.g. as specified in EN ISO 9227 corrosion test in artificial atmospheres - salt spray tests with a minimum exposure time of 200 h; The defect surface area A is less than or equal to 0,1 % (A ≤ 0,1 %). The defects do not exceed a dimension of 0,3 mm. This list is not exhaustive. 4.4.3 Resistance to chemicals and stains When tested in accordance with 5.3 the glazing materials shall not show permanent staining or deterioration. 4.4.4 Resistance to wet and dry cycling When tested in accordance with 5.4, the glazing materials shall not show any cracks, crazing or discoloration. Uncoated and unpainted thermally toughened safety glass is deemed to be resistant to wet and dry cycling and need not be tested. 4.4.5 Endurance When tested in accordance with 5.5, shower enclosures shall not show any functional deterioration after 20 000 closing-opening cycles. 4.4.6 Stability When tested in accordance with 5.6, shower enclosures shall withstand an energy representing the impact of a human body on a large impact area (e.g. blow from shoulder, fall) without any functional deterioration which could result in injury to the user. 4.4.7 Water retention When tested in accordance with 5.7, shower enclosures shall retain water. A few small drops of water on the outside of the water retaining area are acceptable. Where shower enclosures are intended for installation in wet room environments (where watertightness is not required), water may temporarily pass outside the water retaining area as long as it is drained to the water retaining area. 4.5 Dangerous substances National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets. In the absence of European harmonized test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use. SIST EN 14428:2015
EN 14428:2015 (E) 8 NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the Construction website on EUROPA accessed through: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/. 5 Test methods 5.1 Impact resistance/shatter properties 5.1.1 General The fragmentation test determines whether the glass breaks in a safe manner for a thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass. 5.1.2 Test specimens for curved glass The test specimen shall be as designed for the product. 5.1.3 Procedure The test specimen shall be impacted, using a pointed steel tool, at a position 13 mm from the longest edge of the specimen at the mid-point of that edge, until breakage occurs (see Figure 1). NOTE The fragmentation characteristics of glass are unaffected by temperatures between - 50 °C and + 100 °C. Examples of steel tools are a hammer of approximately 75 g mass, a spring loaded centre punch, or other similar appliance with a hardened point. The radius of curvature of the point should be approximately 0,2 mm. The test specimen shall be laid with the impact point flat on a table without any mechanical constraint. In order to prevent scattering of the fragments, the curved specimen shall be covered on its convex surface with an adhesive film so that the fragments remain interlocked after breakage yet extension of the specimen is not hindered.

EN 14428:2015 (E) 9 For thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass manufactured by vertical toughening, the impact point shall not be on the tong mark edge. 5.1.4 Assessment of fragmentation 5.1.4.1 Particle count and measuring the largest particle The particle count and measuring of the dimensions of the largest particle shall be made between 3 min to 5 min after fracture. An area of radius 100 mm, centred on the impact point, and a border of 25 mm, round the edge of the test specimen (see Figure 2), shall be excluded from the assessment. Dimensions in millimetres
Key 1 excluded area Figure 2 — Area to be excluded from the particle count determination and largest particle measurement The particle count shall be made in the region of coarsest fracture (the aim being to obtain the minimum value). The particle count shall be made by placing a mask of (50 ± 1) mm x (50 ± 1) mm on the test piece (see Figures 3, 4 and 5). The number of crack-free particles within the mask shall be counted. A particle is ‘crack-free’, if it does not contain any cracks which run from one edge to another (see Figure 6). SIST EN 14428:2015

EN 14428:2015 (E) 13 In the particle count, all particles wholly contained within the area of the mask shall be counted as one particle each and all the particles which are partially within the mask shall be counted as 1/2 particle each (see Figure 4). 5.1.4.2 Selection of the longest particle The longest particle shall be chosen from the body of the test specimen. It shall not be in the excluded area. 5.2 Impact behaviour of plastic sheets 5.2.1 Apparatus 5.2.1.1 Test frame, constructed of securely welded or bolted sections, designed to present a flat face to the sub-frame.
The test frame sections and bracing members shall be steel channel 102 mm x 51 mm, or equivalent material of equal or greater strength and rigidity. This frame shall be securely bolted to the floor and securely braced as shown in Figures 7, 8 and 9. 5.2.1.2 Sub-frame, constructed of wood or other suitable material designed to hold the test piece as shown in Figure 10 so that the test piece can make contact only with the strips of chloroprene or similar material. These strips shall be capable of being compressed by 10 % to 15 % of their original depth without a permanent set being introduced. The edge cover of the chloroprene on the test pieces shall be such that for the nominal 865 mm x 1 930 mm specimens the central area of (845 ± 3) mm x (1 910 ± 3) mm is unsupported. In order to limit the compression of the chloroprene strips to within approximately 15 %, spacers of appropriate thickness and material are recommended (see Figure 10). The components of the sub-frame shall be held together, and the sub-frame shall be held to the test frame, by bolts, toggle clamps or similar fixing devices as convenient, these being uniformly spaced no more than 450 mm apart and no fewer than two per side. 5.2.1.3 Impactor, consisting of a leather case of a punch bag type, modified with a central support rod and fitting system as shown in Figure 11, and filled with chilled lead shot. The leather case shall be made from six panels, as shown in Figure 12, which shall be securely stitched together leaving a slit approximately 175 mm long to allow for filling with the lead shot. Lace holes shall be inserted on each side of the slit which is closed by a leather thong. The neck shall be taped separately to cover the worm-drive hose clamp. The complete impactor shall weigh (45 ± 0,1) kg. The impactor shall be supported as shown in Figures 7 and 8, and provision shall be made for raising the impactor to drop heights (see 5.2.2 and Figure 8) up to 1 219 mm. Prior to release it shall be supported so that the central metal rod is in line with the steel cable. The impactor shall not wobble or oscillate after its release. 5.2.2 Procedure a) Carry out the test on four test pieces. For curved sheets a sample of an unformed flat sheet of the same material shall be used. b) Immediately preceding the test, condition the test pieces as follows: SIST EN 14428:2015
EN 14428:2015 (E) 14 1) temperature: (23 ± 5) °C; 2) duration: 24 h. Place the test piece in the frame and clamp it so that the chloroprene strips are compressed by no more than 10 % to 15 % of their original thickness. When the impactor is hanging at rest, suspended from the overhead support, check that it is, at its greatest diameter, not more than 13 mm from the surface of the test piece and within 51 mm radially from the centre of the test piece (see Figure 8). c) Raise the impactor to a drop height of 305 mm and steady it. d) Release the impactor so that it swings in a pendulum arc and strikes the test piece. e) Inspect the test piece after impact and report whether it has remained unbroken or it has broken safely as follows: 1) Numerous cracks or fissures appear in the test piece, but no opening develops through which a 76 mm diameter sphere can be passed freely. 2) When breakage occurs which results in the production of separate fragments containing pointed protrusions, then such fragments shall be permitted provided that any pointed protrusion satisfies the following: The length of the chord between the two points which are established when an arc of radius 25 mm, whose centre is the apex of the protrusion, crosses the perimeter on each side of the apex shall be not less than 25 mm (see Figure 13).
