Figure 5 — Template for testing urinals without flushing rim 6.6.1.3.1.2 Test material 20 g of fine dry wood sawdust. 6.6.1.3.1.3 Method For urinals without rim draw the perimeter of the surface to be tested (see Figure 4) using the template and a water resistant ink. Moisten the surface to be tested of all types of urinals. Immediately afterwards, sprinkle the sawdust as completely and evenly as possible over the moistened surface. Flush the urinal with the flushing volume and/or flow rate indicated by the manufacturer and measure any
un-flushed area of the surface to be tested. Perform this procedure five times and check the compliance with 6.2.1. 6.6.1.3.2 Flushing of three plastics balls 6.6.1.3.2.1 Test material Three balls of non-absorbent material, e.g. polyethylene, each having a mass of (3,7 ± 0,2) g and a diameter of (20 ± 0,2) mm1). 6.6.1.3.2.2 Method For each flushing operation place the three balls into the urinal. Without the urinal being connected to a drainage pipe, flush the urinal with the flushing volume and/or flow rate specified by the manufacturer. Verify that the balls are flushed out of the trap of the urinal. Remove any balls left in the urinal or its trap.
