WC and urinal flushing cisterns belong always to one class and type at least. For each class and type a set of
requirements to be tested (see 11.2.2) is defined. Due to this a WC and urinal flushing cistern can be
described with a designation code which includes all fulfilled essential requirements.
The relevant product characteristics and the Essential Characteristics for WC and urinal flushing cisterns
including their abbreviations are given in Tables 5, 6 and 7.

6 Modification to Clause 11, Evaluation of conformity
Replace the whole clause with the following one:
“
11 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP
11.1 General
The compliance of WC and urinal flushing cisterns with the requirements of this standard and with the
performances declared by the manufacturer in the DoP shall be demonstrated by:
— determination of the product type (see 11.2);
— factory production control by the manufacturer (FPC), including product assessment (see 11.3).
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
11.2 Type testing
11.2.1 General
All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performing tests. (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and conventionally
accepted performance).
Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into
account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP
system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results
are applicable to the product in question.
For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is
considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are
representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family.
Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics.

SIST EN 14055:2011/kFprA1:2015
EN 14055:2010/FprA1:2014 (E)
Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable
representative sample.
In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in the
standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance:
— at the beginning of the production of a new or modified WC and urinal flushing cisterns (unless a member
of the same product range), or
— at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties);
or
— they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the modified
WC and urinal flushing cisterns trap design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in
the method of production (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or
more of the characteristics.
Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component
manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need not
be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented.
Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonized European specifications may
be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not replace the responsibility
on the WC and urinal flushing cisterns manufacturer to ensure that the WC and urinal flushing cisterns as a
whole is correctly manufactured and its component products have the declared performance values.
11.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria
The number of samples of WC and urinal flushing cisterns to be tested/assessed shall be in accordance with
Table 8 and/or Table 9 and/or Table 10.
