Figure 1 — Load application — Leave the load for 10 +10 min. — On completion of the tests remove all the bags. — After 10 +10 min verify that the shower tray complies with 5.3.2 by pouring copious amounts of water coloured in contrast with that of the shower tray around all the inner surface of the sides of the showering area. 8.2 Chemical resistance 8.2.1 Principle The test is intended to give an indication of the effect of commonly used household chemicals, staining agents and cleansing agents. 8.2.2 Test apparatus and chemicals 8.2.2.1 Chemicals and stains: A list of chemicals and stains to be used is specified in Table 1. Each chemical solution shall be prepared immediately before use with de-ionized water, and it shall be applied at a temperature (23 ± 5) °C. 8.2.2.2 Borosilicate watch glasses: 40 mm nominal diameter. 8.2.2.3 Pipettes. 8.2.2.4 Cleaning device: A typical cleaning device is shown in Figure 2. It consists of a disc of 75 mm diameter, faced with synthetic flexible open cell foam 15 mm in thickness. The device is driven by means of a square axle which fits loosely into the device. Any device having a mass of (1 000 ± 50) g can be used. SIST EN 14527:2016

Clean the test area thoroughly with hot soapy water, rinse and wipe dry with a clean dry cloth. — At each of the test areas deposit a drop of the test solution. Cover the drop with a watch glass concave face downwards. The drop size shall be such that it is completely covered by the watch glass. Leave for (120 ± 5) min with the test area protected from sunlight. — Thoroughly rinse the test areas with de-ionized water and visually check for any adverse change in appearance. If any deterioration is noticed, dip the foam disc in de-ionized water and place it on the surface that was tested. Rotate the cleaning device at a speed of 60 min1. Clean for 30 revolutions. — Rinse with de-ionized water, dry and visually re-examine the test areas. If any deterioration persists, repeat the cleaning process using the abrasive comprising 12 h-aluminia suspended in water and re-examine.
