Introduction In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused by the product covered by this European Standard. This European Standard provides no information as to whether the product can be used without restriction in any of the Member States of the EU or EFTA. It should be noted that, while awaiting the adoption of verifiable European criteria, existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of these products remain in force. This document identifies characteristics and technical requirements for single and combination taps.
the field of application for pillar taps, bib taps, single and multi-hole combination taps for use in: 1) a supply system of Type 1 (see Figure 1); 2) a supply system of Type 2 (see Figure 2); b)
the dimensional, leaktightness, pressure resistance, hydraulic performance, mechanical strength, endurance and acoustic characteristics of nominal size ½ and ¾ single taps and combination taps; c)
test methods to verify the characteristics. The tests described in this European Standard are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture. This European Standard applies to draw-off taps (single taps and combination taps) for use with sanitary appliances installed in rooms used for bodily hygiene (cloakrooms, bathrooms etc.) and in kitchens, i.e. for use with baths, wash basins, bidets, showers and sinks. Figure 1 shows a supply system of Type 1 with a pressure range of (0,05 to 1,0) Mpa [(0,5 to 10) bar]. Figure 2 shows a supply system of Type 2 with a pressure range of (0,01 to 1,0) Mpa [(0,1 to 10) bar]. This European Standard applies to sanitary draw-off taps of nominal size ½ and ¾ (PN 10). The conditions of use and classifications are given in Table 1. The Table 2 gives the performance characteristics to be noted if the tap is used outside the recommended operating range.

a) Without flow rate class: Taps without interchangeable outlet accessories are tested with the original outlet accessories of the manufacturer and are not marked with a flow rate class. b) Measured at the shower outlet when incorporated. c) There is usually no acoustic classification for taps used in supply systems of Type 2 and no specifications governing the level of noise emissions from these water installations. If supply pressures are such that excessive noise is generated it is recommended that pressure or flow regulators are fitted in the system, or where practicable, taps conforming to the appropriate acoustic classification given in 14.3.5 are used. d) Combination taps with divided outlet (mains fed on cold inlet) for Type 2 systems: It is essential that such taps are connected to a main's water supply capable of maintaining a minimum flow pressure of 0,04 MPa (0,4 bar) through the cold inlet.
Table 2 — Performance characteristics to be noted if used outside the recommended operating range Issue Supply system Type 1 Supply system Type 2 Operational Force Taps for Type 2 systems having rapid action mechanisms can require a higher operating force.
Diverter Operation Taps for Type 2 systems can require more operational force. Taps for Type 1 systems with automatic diverters may not hold in the shower mode due to low dynamic supply pressure. Flow Performance Taps for Type 2 systems can result in excessive flow velocities. Taps for Type 1 systems may not provide an acceptable rate of flow. Noise National regulations can require an acoustically classified tap to be specified. Taps for Type 1 and Type 2 systems can result in excessive noise when used above the recommended maximum pressure.
