Description

This Standard is an international standard used for sanitary tapware that specifies the characteristics, and test method for flow of shower hoses. This helps in designing and constructing these shower hoses used as sanitary tapware.  

This Standard specifies: 

• The dimensional, leak tightness, mechanical and hydraulic characteristics with which shower hoses should comply 
• The procedures for testing these characteristics 

It applies to shower hoses of any material used for ablutionary purposes and intended for equipping and supplementing sanitary tapware for baths and showers. 

It also applies to shower hoses connected downstream of the obturator of the tapware. Hoses that are an integral part of sanitary tapware (sink and wash basin mixing valves) or hoses intended to connect sanitary tapware to the water supplies are not covered by this European Standard.
