For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 wash basin
sanitary appliance primarily intended for washing the upper parts of the body, with one or more bowls, each with a waste outlet hole, with or without overflow and with or without taphole(s) NOTE The various types of wash basins are differentiated by the methods of mounting. The main types are the following: 3.1.1 wall-hung wash basin wash basin attached directly to a wall (see Figures 1 and 2)
Figure 1 — Wall-hung wash basin with overflow Figure 2 — Wall-hung wash basin without overflow
3.1.2 bracket-mounted wash basin wash basin supported on brackets which are fixed to a wall (see Figure 3)

Figure 3 — Bracket-mounted wash basin 3.1.3 pedestal wash basin wash basin supported by a floor mounted pedestal (see Figure 4)
Figure 4 — Pedestal wash basin 3.1.4 vanity wash basin wash basin installed into a vanity top (see Figure 5).
The bowl(s) may be mounted in different ways: a) the rim of the wash basin rests on the vanity top (inset wash basin); b) the front of the basin protrudes beyond the front edge of the vanity top (semi-recessed wash basin); c) the rim of the wash basin butts against the underside of the vanity top (wash basin mounted beneath a vanity top); d) the bottom of the wash basin rests on the vanity top (vessel wash basin).

Figure 5 — Vanity top wash basins 3.1.5 corner wash basin wash basin intended to be installed in a 90 ° - wall corner and to be attached to both walls 3.2 handrinse basin
wash basin with a width of ≤ 530 mm, intended for hand washing only 3.3 multi-layer wash basin wash basin consisting of two or more layers of material 4 Requirements 4.1 Load resistance When tested in accordance with 5.2, wall-hung wash basins shall not crack, be broken or show permanent distortion.

When tested in accordance with 5.3, all water shall drain away. 4.3 Resistance to temperature changes When wash basins are tested in accordance with 5.4, they shall not show defects, such as cracks or delamination which influences the intended use. Experience has shown that wash basins made of glazed ceramics, stainless steel, enamelled steel and glass comply with this requirement. 4.4 Resistance to chemicals and staining agents When used as intended, any functional surface shall be resistant to household chemicals and cleansing agents recommended by the manufacturer. When tested in accordance with 5.5, wash basins shall not show any permanent surface deterioration, such as stains or deterioration not removable with water or abrasive agent. Experience has shown that wash basins made of glazed ceramics, stainless steel and enamelled steel comply with this requirement. 4.5 Surface stability This requirement is applicable only to multi-layer wash basins to ensure the stability of the top layer. When tested in accordance with 5.6, any scratch shall not exceed 0,1 mm and/or the total depth of the top layer whichever is the least. When tested in accordance with 5.7, the top layer of the test specimen shall not be abraded through. Experience has shown that wash basins made of glazed ceramics and enamelled steel comply with these requirements.
4.6 Cleanability When tested in accordance with 5.8, wash basins shall have smooth and readily cleansed non-absorbent functional surfaces which are free from acute internal corners which would be difficult to clean, i. e. surfaces intended to or likely to come into contact with water during use. Experience has shown that wash basins manufactured from plastics materials, enamelled steel/cast iron, stainless steel, glazed ceramics and glass, designed and constructed without acute internal corners, satisfy this requirement. 4.7 Protection against overflowing 4.7.1 Wash basins with overflow Every wash basin shall be protected against overflowing. When tested in accordance with 5.9, the flow rate of a single overflow shall not be less than the values given in Table 1.

Table 1 — Flow rates of overflow Overflow class Overflow rate l/s CL 25 0,25 CL 20 0,20 CL 15 0,15 CL 10 0,10 CL 00 See 4.7.2
NOTE In two-bowl wash basins, it is permitted to have only one overflow, if the overflowing from one bowl to the other is ensured. 4.7.2 Wash basins without overflow A wash basin with a non-closable outlet or a floor gully may also be used as a protection against overflowing. In this case the wash basin is considered to be class CL 00. 4.8 Durability Products conforming with the requirements of 4.1 to 4.7 are deemed to be durable. 4.9 Dangerous substances NOTE See ZA.1 and ZA.3. 5 Test methods 5.1 General All tests may be carried out on the same sample wash basin. 5.2 Load resistance  Install the wash basin to be tested in a horizontal position in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions onto smooth surface(s) with a layer of mortar or other facing material used for pointing between the back of wash basin and the smooth surface.  Gradually apply a force of (1,50 ± 0,01) kN on top of a wooden beam with a cross section of 100 mm x 100 mm positioned in accordance with Figure 6. Allow the force to remain in position for a period of 1 h.
