Overview
EN 16146:2012/FprA1 is a draft amendment prepared by CEN/TC 164 that updates the European technical specification for extractable shower hoses used with sanitary tapware for water supply systems Type 1 and Type 2. This amendment, if approved, will modify EN 16146:2012 and provides clarified classifications, operating ranges and acceptance criteria relevant to manufacturers, test laboratories and specifiers.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 16146:2012; it is circulated for unique acceptance and review by CEN members.
Key Topics
- Scope and Classification
- The amendment replaces Table 1 to define operating conditions and classifications for extractable outlets. Classes include Class 1, Class 2, and flow classes E and H.
- Flow-rate classes and limits
- The revised Table 3 sets explicit flow-rate classes and associated pressure conditions. Example published values include:
- Class 1: minimum flow 0.25 l/s (15 l/min)
- Class 2: minimum flow 0.15 l/s (9 l/min)
- Class E: 0.06 l/s < Q < 0.18 l/s (3.6–10.8 l/min)
- Class H: Q ≥ 0.18 l/s (≥ 10.8 l/min)
- The revised Table 3 sets explicit flow-rate classes and associated pressure conditions. Example published values include:
- Pressure ranges
- The amendment provides dynamic pressure ranges for Type 1 and Type 2 systems, for example:
- Type 1 dynamic pressure: 0.05 MPa ≤ P ≤ 0.5 MPa (0.5–5 bar); recommended 0.1–0.3 MPa (1–3 bar)
- Type 2 dynamic pressure: 0.01 MPa to 0.2 MPa (0.1–2 bar); recommended 0.02–0.10 MPa (0.2–1 bar)
- The amendment provides dynamic pressure ranges for Type 1 and Type 2 systems, for example:
- Temperature limits
- Temperature constraints are specified in the amendment (e.g., T ≤ 70°C and T ≤ 60°C are indicated) and should be checked in the full text for exact application per class.
Applications
This amendment and the resulting standard are used by:
- Manufacturers of sanitary tapware and extractable shower hoses to ensure product compliance with European requirements.
- Test laboratories and quality assurance teams to verify flow-rate classes, pressure performance and temperature resilience.
- Architects, specifiers and installers selecting compatible tapware for domestic and commercial installations supplied from Type 1 and Type 2 water systems.
Practical benefits include clearer product classification for selection, harmonised test conditions for reliable performance verification, and consistent specification language across CEN member states.
Related Standards
- EN 16146:2012 - the base standard being amended; consult this alongside the FprA1 draft.
- Other CEN/TC 164 publications on sanitary tapware and water supply components may apply; refer to national bodies for cross-references and adoption details.
For authoritative and definitive requirements, consult the full EN 16146:2012/FprA1 draft amendment as published by CEN and the corresponding national adoption documents.
