Overview

EN 13407:2015/prA1:2017 is a European standard developed by CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 163 for wall-hung urinals constructed from vitreous china or stainless steel. This standard defines the functional requirements and test methods for wall-hung urinals intended for personal hygiene in sanitary installations. It ensures these products comply with rigorous performance, safety, and marking criteria in line with relevant European regulations, particularly the EU Construction Products Regulation.

The scope of EN 13407:2015/prA1:2017 specifically excludes slab and stall urinals as well as waterless urinals, focusing solely on water-flushing, wall-hung units designed for commercial and public washrooms.

Key Topics

  • Constructional Requirements: Specifies the materials, dimensions, and physical properties for the manufacturing of wall-hung urinals.

  • Performance Criteria: Includes essential functional requirements such as:

    • Backflow prevention (to inhibit foul air ingress)
    • Cleanability
    • Load resistance
    • Durability
  • Marking and Product Identification: Standardized system for clearly marking urinals with information related to product type, sub-type, flushing device, and other performance characteristics using abbreviations.

  • Test Methods: Defines procedures for assessing:

    • Depth of water seal
    • Bowl washing effectiveness
    • Splash prevention
    • Discharge rate
    • Water absorption (for vitreous china)
    • Mechanical strength and load resistance
  • Compliance and CE Marking: Guidance for manufacturers for the declaration of performance (DoP) and the assignment of CE marking following Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011.

Applications

This standard is applicable across a variety of sanitary installations where wall-hung urinals are used, such as:

  • Commercial buildings: offices, shopping centres, airports
  • Public facilities: schools, stadiums, transit stations
  • Institutional sectors: hospitals, government buildings, universities
  • Hospitality and entertainment venues: restaurants, theatres, hotels

Adherence to EN 13407:2015/prA1:2017 ensures that urinals meet essential hygiene, durability, and safety standards. This is critical for manufacturers targeting the European market, specifying engineers, architects, facility managers, and building regulators who must ensure compliance with local and EU-wide legal requirements.

Related Standards

To guarantee comprehensive sanitary installation compliance and compatibility, consider the following related European standards:

  • EN 997: WC pans and WC suites with integral trap, functional requirements and test methods
  • EN 14688: Wash basins - Functional requirements and test methods
  • EN 14528: Bidets - Functional requirements and test methods
  • EN 232: Baths - Internal dimensions
  • EN 13564: Anti-flooding devices for buildings

Additionally, EN 13407:2015/prA1:2017 refers to the requirements under EU Construction Products Regulation (No. 305/2011) and the respective systems for Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP).

Summary

EN 13407:2015/prA1:2017 provides a unified framework for designing, manufacturing, and testing wall-hung urinals used for personal hygiene, ensuring safe, durable, and hygienic products for European sanitary installations. Observance of this standard offers practical value to manufacturers, specifiers, and facility operators, facilitating compliance, supporting CE marking, and promoting best practices in public and commercial washroom design and maintenance. For enhanced sanitary product safety and performance, adherence to EN 13407 is essential.
