Overview

SIST EN 13407:2015/oprA1:2017 is a European standard developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that defines the functional requirements and test methods for wall-hung urinals. Specifically, it covers urinals made from vitreous china or stainless steel designed for personal hygiene in public and private sanitary installations. This standard provides comprehensive constructional and performance criteria ensuring safety, hygiene, durability, and ease of maintenance.

It is important to note that SIST EN 13407:2015/oprA1:2017 does not apply to slab and stall urinals or to waterless urinals. This distinction ensures targeted specifications relevant to wall-hung designs only.

Key Topics

• Product Types: The standard categorizes wall-hung urinals into two types based on construction and performance characteristics:

  • Type 1 products (Clause 6)
  • Type 2 products (Clause 7)

• Material Requirements: Focus is on urinals made from vitreous china or stainless steel, materials chosen for hygiene, durability, and ease of cleaning.

• Performance Criteria:

  • Backflow prevention: To stop foul air and water contamination
  • Cleanability: Assessment of how easily the urinal surface can be cleaned to maintain hygiene
  • Load resistance: Ensures structural strength under expected use conditions
  • Durability: Long-term performance under daily operational stress

• Testing Methods:

  • Standardized test samples and procedures verify compliance with all requirements.
  • Testing includes water seal depth, flushing efficiency, oversplash control, water absorption, and mechanical load resistance.

• Marking and Classification:

  • A clear marking system classifies urinal types and sub-types, flushing systems, and performance characteristics.
  • Abbreviations detail manufacturing specifications such as flushing device type (manual, automatic, flush valve) and flushing volume.

• Compliance & CE Marking:

  • The standard supports the EU Construction Products Regulation (EU No. 305/2011).
  • Provides guidance for manufacturers for Declaration of Performance (DoP) and CE marking, facilitating market access and regulatory adherence within the EU.

Applications

• Public and Commercial Buildings: Specification and quality assurance for wall-hung urinals in restrooms of offices, shopping centers, airports, and other high-traffic facilities.
• Sanitary Installations: Used by architects, sanitary engineers, and building contractors to select compliant urinal products that meet EU hygienic and performance standards.
• Manufacturing and Quality Control: Manufacturers use this standard to design, test, and certify urinals to fulfill legal and market requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance: Enables authorities and certification bodies to verify adherence to hygiene safety laws and construction regulations.

Related Standards

• EU Construction Products Regulation (EU No. 305/2011): EN 13407 aligns with this regulation to ensure essential characteristics such as hygiene and safety are met and declared.
• Other CEN Standards on Sanitary Appliances: Documents managed by CEN/TC 163 that govern different types of sanitary fixtures and fittings, ensuring a harmonized approach across product categories.
• Standards for Waterless Urinals and Slab/Stall Urinals: While excluded from EN 13407’s scope, these standards address other urinal types and should be consulted where applicable.

---

Adherence to SIST EN 13407:2015/oprA1:2017 guarantees that wall-hung urinals meet rigorous safety, durability, and hygienic performance standards, driving quality in sanitary installations across Europe. This ensures enhanced user comfort, public health protection, and legal compliance for manufacturers and facility managers alike.
