Low resistance shower outlets for sanitary tapware
This European Standard specifies:
- the dimensional, leaktightness, mechanical and hydraulic characteristics with which shower outlets shall comply;
- the procedures for testing these characteristics.
It applies to shower heads and hand showers of any material used for ablutionary purposes and intended for equipping and supplementing sanitary tapware for baths and showers. They should only be connected downstream of the obturator of the tapware.
Details of pressures and temperatures are given in Table 1.

Limits of use Recommended limits for correct operations
Dynamic pressure 0,01 £ P £ 0 MPa
(0,1 £ P £ 0 bar) 0,02 £ P £ 0,1 MPa

Temperature T £ 70 °C T £ 42 °C
Integral and remote spray attachments incorporated in tapware (e.g. sink and basin mixer taps) are not covered by this standard.
Fittings complying with this Standard can also be used with inlet supply pressures in the range (0,1 to 0,2) MPa (1,0 to 2,0) bar in installations not subject to acoustic requirements.
Brausen für Sanitärarmaturen mit geringem Durchflusswiderstand
Diese Europäische Norm legt Folgendes fest:
- die Maße, die Anforderungen an die Dichtheit, die mechanischen und hydraulischen Anforderungen, denen Brausen ent-sprechen müssen,
- die Prüfverfahren, um diese Anforderungen zu überprüfen.
Sie gilt unabhängig vom verwendeten Material für Brauseköpfe und Handbrausen für die Körperhygiene als Ausrüstung von Sanitärarmaturen in Bädern und Duschen. Sie sollten nur hinter dem Absperrorgan der Sanitärarmatur angeschlossen werden.
Druck- und Temperaturangaben sind in Tabelle 1 enthalten.

In die Armatur integrierte Auslauf- und Seitenbrausen (z. B. wie bei Spültischmischern) werden in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Armaturen nach dieser Norm können auch bei Leitungsdruck zwischen (0,1 bis 0,2) MPa [(1,0 bis 2,0) bar] verwendet werden, wenn sie keinen Geräuschanforderungen unterliegen.
Douches basse pression pour robinetterie sanitaire
La présente Norme européenne spécifie :
¾ les caractéristiques dimensionnelles, d'étanchéité, de comportement mécanique et hydraulique auxquelles doivent répondre les douches ;
¾ les modes opératoires d'essai permettant de contrôler ces caractéristiques.
Elle s'applique aux pommes de douche et aux douchettes à main, quel que soit le matériau utilisé, destinées à équiper et à compléter les robinetteries sanitaires de baignoires ou de douches réservées pour l'hygiène corporelle. Il convient qu'elles ne soient raccordées qu'en aval de l'obturateur de la robinetterie.
Les exigences relatives à la pression et à la température sont données dans le Tableau 1.

Limites d'utilisation Limites recommandées pour un bon fonctionnement
Pression dynamique 0,01 £ P ³ 0 MPa
(0,1 £ P ³ 0 bar) 0,02 £ P £ 0,1 MPa
(0,2 £ P £ 1,0 bar)
Température T £ 70 °C T £ 42 °C
Les douchettes intégrées et latérales incorporées dans les robinetteries (par exemple, robinets mitigeurs pour évier et lavabo) ne sont pas couvertes par cette norme.
Les accessoires conformes à la présente norme peuvent également être utilisés avec des pressions d'entrée comprises dans la plage (0,1 à 0,2) MPa, (1,0 à 2,0) bars, dans les installations qui ne sont pas soumises aux exigences acoustiques.
