EN 14516:2006 (E) 5 4 Requirements 4.1 General The manufacturer shall provide instructions with each bath covering installation and care. NOTE Annex B gives advice which manufacturers can include in their instructions. 4.2 Cleanability 4.2.1 Appearance of surface When a bath is inspected under strong and oblique illumination, the surfaces intended to come into contact with water shall be visibly smooth, non-absorbent and free from inaccessible corners that would impair the cleanability. NOTE Surfaces with cracks, chips, crazing and other similar defects are not considered to be smooth. 4.2.2 Drainage of water Baths shall have at least one waste outlet hole. The dimensions of the waste outlet hole shall comply with the requirements of EN 232. Other dimensions are permissible, if the manufacturer provides or recommends a suitable waste fitting. All water shall empty from the bath unless prevented by surface tension. 4.3 Durability of cleanability 4.3.1 General Conformance with the requirements of 4.3.2 to 4.3.4 give an assurance of durability of cleanability. 4.3.2 Stability of bottom When tested in accordance with 5.1, there shall be no permanent distortion or other defects, e.g. cracks, such that the requirements of 4.2.2 are not satisfied. 4.3.3 Resistance to chemicals and staining agents 4.3.3.1 General When baths, other than those made from the materials specified in 4.3.3.2, are tested in accordance with 5.2, the surface finish shall be unaffected by the chemicals and staining agents specified in Table 1, except for superficial surface changes which are removable with water or with water and the specified abrasive agent.
EN 14516:2006 (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 specified

4.3.3.2 Particular requirements for baths made of enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron Baths made from enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron shall comply with the requirements given in Table 2. Table 2 — Requirements for baths made of enamelled steel and enamelled cast iron Requirement Parameter Test method Resistance to boiling water < 10g/m2 ISO 2744 Resistance to cold citric acid Class 2 ISO 2722 Resistance to boiling citric acid < 5g/m² ISO 2742 Resistance to cold sulphuric acid Class 2 EN ISO 8290 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 baths shall show no evidence of distortion or other defects, e.g. crazing, which will impair their cleanability. Experience has shown that baths 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 Annex ZA, ZA.1 and ZA.3. 5 Test methods 5.1 Stability of the bottom of the bath 5.1.1 Test apparatus 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.
EN 14516:2006 (E) 7 5.1.2 Determination of the load The load to be applied for the test shall comprise: adequate number of cloth bags (see 5.1.1) equating to 100 kg for each user intended to use the bath at the same time; adequate number of cloth bags (see 5.1.1) to simulate the mass of water that can be contained in the bath. The load shall equate to the volume of water with an accuracy of 250+ kg, if 25 kg bags are used, or 12,50+ kg, if 12,5 kg bags are used, when the bath is filled to the overflow. If no overflow is provided the volume to the overspill level shall be used. The volume can be determined by measurement, or values declared in the manufacturer’s literature can be used. 5.1.3 Procedure Install the bath in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. Position the bags to simulate the mass of water that can be contained along the bottom of the bath as shown in Figure 1. Position the adequate number of bags for each user that can use the bath at the same time in separate piles, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Load application (for each user) Leave the total load for 10 10+ min. Without moving the bags representing the mass of water that can be contained, move the pile(s) of bags representing a user(s) to a different position(s) along the bottom of the bath and leave again for 10 10+min. When a bath has a clearly indicated position for a user to stand or to sit, e.g. a slip resistant feature or a seating area, carry out one loading test with a pile of bags representing a user, at the approximate centre of any such feature. On completion of the tests remove all the bags. After 10 10+ min verify that the bath complies with 4.3.2 by pouring copious amounts of water coloured in contrast with the colour of the bath around all the inner surface of the sides of the bathing area. 5.2 Resistance to chemicals and staining agents
5.2.1 Principle The test is intended to give an indication of the effect of commonly used household chemicals and cleansing agents.
EN 14516:2006 (E) 8 5.2.2 Test apparatus and chemicals a) chemicals and staining agents A list of chemicals and staining agents to be used is specified in Table 1. Each chemical solution shall be prepared immediately before use with deionised water, and it shall be applied at a temperature (23 ± 5) °C. b) borosilicate watch glasses: 40 mm nominal diameter; 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 (1 000 ± 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 bath or on test specimens cut from these areas. 5.2.4 Procedure Select an area to be tested.
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 these products.
EN 14516:2006 (E) 9 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. Thoroughly rinse the test areas with deionised water and visually check for any adverse change in appearance. If any deterioration is noticed, dip the foam disc in deionised 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 deionised 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 Apparatus a) water supply capable of discharging cold and hot water with temperatures, flow rates and volumes as defined in 5.3.2; b) pipe with a nominal diameter of 22 mm; c) thermometer with an accuracy of 1 % at the measured values; d) flow meter
