NOTE Functional surfaces do not include inlet and outlet holes, outlet grills, etc. 4.4 Protection against overflowing 4.4.1 Bidets with overflow Every bidet shall be protected against overflowing. When tested in accordance with 5.4, the flow rate of the overflow shall not be less than the values given in Table 1. SIST EN 14528:2015

4.4.2 Bidets without overflow A bidet with a non-closable outlet or a floor gully may also be used as a protection against overflowing. In this case the bidet is related to Class CL 00. 4.5 Durability Products conforming to the requirements of 4.2 to 4.4 are deemed to be durable. 5 Test methods 5.1 General All tests shall be carried out on the same sample bidet. Install the bidet to be tested on a firm flat horizontal or vertical surface as appropriate with a layer of mortar or other material to accommodate any unevenness. 5.2 Static load test — The bidet shall be fixed in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction onto a smooth surface with a layer of mortar or other facing material used for pointing between the back of the bidet and the smooth surface. — Gradually apply a force of (4,00 ± 0,1) kN on top of a wooden beam with a cross section of 100 mm × 100 mm positioned across the geometric centre of the bowl of the bidet parallel to the wall (see Figure 3). Allow the force to remain in position for a period of 1 h. — Record any failure to comply with 4.2. Any distortion at the points of direct loading shall not constitute a failure. SIST EN 14528:2015

Adjust the quantity of water supply in such a way that no water spills over the rim or the tap platform of the bidet, whichever is the lowest. — Read the water flow rate after a steady-state condition has been established for a period of 60 s by means of a flow-meter fitted into the supply pipe. 6 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. NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the Construction website on EUROPA. 7 Marking The intended use of bidets is personal hygiene in accordance with the scope of this standard. NOTE The intended use is also mentioned in Annex ZA, Table ZA.1. The abbreviation “PH” for the intended use personal hygiene might be used for CE marking. A schematic drawing of the product might be used for CE marking. A schematic drawing of the product may optionally follow the abbreviation for personal hygiene. EXAMPLE 1 Use of full text: personal hygiene. EXAMPLE 2 Use of abbreviation: PH. EXAMPLE 3 Use of abbreviation and the optional schematic drawing: PH . Bidets belong always to one class and type at least. For each class and type a set of requirements to be tested (see 8.2.2) is defined. Due to this, a bidet can be described with a designation code which includes all fulfilled essential requirements. The relevant product characteristics and the Essential Characteristics for bidets including their abbreviations are given in Table 2. SIST EN 14528:2015
