EN 14527:2006 (E) 6 Table 1 — Chemicals and staining agents Family Product Acids Acetic acid (CH3COOH), 10 % V/V Alkalines Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), 5 % m/m Alcohols Ethanol (C2H5OH), 70 % V/V Bleaches Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI), 5 % active chlorine (CI2) a
Staining agents Methylene blue, 1 % m/m a The above specified bleach may be replaced by sodium percarbonate (2Na2CO3 · 3H2O2) prepared as follows: Dissolve 1 g of a commercial available powdery bleach based on sodium percarbonate containing 15 % to 30 % of the active component in 100 ml de-ionised water at room temperature.
4.3.3.2 Particular requirements for shower trays made of enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron Shower trays made from enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron shall comply with the requirements given in Table 2. Table 2 — Requirements for shower trays made of enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron Requirement Parameter Test method Resistance to boiling water < 10 g/m2 ISO 2744 Resistance to cold citric acid Class 2 ISO 2722 Resistance to boiling citric acid < 5 g/m² ISO 2742 Resistance to cold sulphuric acid Class 2 EN 14483-1 Resistance to alkali solutions < 8 g/m² Test apparatus according to ISO 2742 Test solution according to ISO 4533 Duration of test: 2,5 h
4.3.4 Resistance to temperature changes When tested in accordance with 5.3, all shower trays shall show no evidence of distortion or other defects, e.g. crazing, which will impair their cleanability. Experience has shown that shower trays manufactured from the stainless steel grades listed in annex A, enamelled steel, enamelled cast iron and glazed ceramics comply with this requirement. 4.4 Dangerous substances NOTE See Clauses ZA.1 and ZA.3.
EN 14527:2006 (E) 7 5 Test methods 5.1 Stability of the bottom of the shower tray 5.1.1 Test apparatus an adequate number of reinforced cloth bags each with dimensions of approximately 500 mm x 200 mm filled with lead shot, iron shot or sand of a mass of 25 5,00+ kg or 12,5 5,00+ kg. 5.1.2 Determination of the load The load to be applied for the test shall comprise the adequate number of cloth bags (see 5.1.1) equating to 100 kg. 5.1.3 Procedure Install the shower tray in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. Position the adequate number of bags in the geometric centre of shower tray as shown in Figure 1.
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 4.3.2 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. 5.2 Chemical resistance 5.2.1 Principle The test is intended to give an indication of the effect of commonly used household chemicals, staining agents and cleansing agents. 5.2.2 Test apparatus and chemicals a) 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-ionised water, and it shall be applied at a temperature (23 ± 5) °C. b) borosilicate watch glasses: 40 mm nominal diameter;
EN 14527:2006 (E) 8 c) pipettes; d) 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 (1000 ± 50) g can be used. e) Abrasive comprising 12 h-alumina (suspension of aluminium oxide in water)1).
Key 1 Square axle (a = b – 1 mm) 2 Disc faced with foam Figure 2 — Cleaning device 5.2.3 Test specimens Carry out the tests on the bottom, and on a flat part of the wall of the shower tray or on test specimens cut from these areas. 5.2.4 Procedure Select an area to be tested. Use each test area only once for each application. 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.
1) A suitable product is available from MERCK Eurolab-Prolabo, 54 rue Roger Salengro, 94126 Fontenay sous Bois CEDEX, France, as DURMAXTM under product description N° 20993. This information is given for the convenience of users of this standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of this product.
EN 14527:2006 (E) 9 Thoroughly rinse the test areas with de-ionised water and visually check for any adverse change in appearance. If any deterioration is noticed, dip the foam disc in de-ionised water and place it on the surface that was tested.
Rotate the cleaning device at a speed of 60 min-1. Clean for 30 revolutions. Rinse with de-ionised 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. 5.2.5 Expression of results Note the exact test area. Record: whether or not the reagent causes a stain or deterioration of the surface; whether or not such stain or deterioration is removed, and if so, whether with water or with water including abrasive agent. 5.3 Resistance to temperature changes 5.3.1 Test apparatus a) Water supply capable of discharging cold and hot water with temperatures, flow rates and volumes as defined in 5.3.2; b) shower handset; c) thermometer with an accuracy of 1 % at the measured values; d) flow meter for measuring a flow rate of water at (0,15 ± 0,015) l/s. 5.3.2 Procedure By means of the shower hands
