Overview
EN 14516:2015+A1:2018 - Baths for domestic purposes (CEN) defines the required characteristics, test methods and conformity assessment procedures for baths intended for domestic and similar uses. The standard applies to all sizes and shapes of domestic baths (including use in hotels, student accommodation and similar buildings) but explicitly excludes baths intended for medical provisions. Its objective is to ensure baths, when installed and maintained per the manufacturer’s instructions, meet requirements for cleanability and durability.
Key Topics
- Scope & classification
- Applies to all conventional domestic baths; two product types are defined (Type 1 and Type 2) with separate requirements (Clauses 4–6).
- Cleanability (Clause 5.2 / 6.2)
- Surface appearance: surfaces in contact with water must be visibly smooth, non‑absorbent and free of inaccessible corners.
- Drainage: baths must have at least one waste outlet and be capable of emptying completely (EN 232 referenced for waste outlet dimensions).
- Durability (Clauses 5.3 / 6.3)
- Stability of bottom: no permanent distortion or defects after loading (see Clause 8.1 test method).
- Resistance to chemicals and staining agents: specified acids, alkalis, alcohols, bleaches and staining agents (Table 1) with acceptance criteria for surface changes (Clause 8.2).
- Resistance to temperature changes (Clause 8.3).
- Test methods and conformity assessment
