Overview

EN 13407:2015+A1:2018 - Wall-hung urinals: Functional requirements and test methods (CEN) defines constructional and performance requirements and associated test methods for wall‑hung urinals made of vitreous china or stainless steel used for personal hygiene. It applies to wall‑hung units only and explicitly excludes slab, stall and waterless urinals. The standard supports product design, type testing, factory production control and CE/CPR-related declarations.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and classification
    • Covers wall‑hung urinals; classifies products into Type 1 (sub‑types I, II, IV) and Type 2 (sub‑type III) for testing and installation contexts.
  • Materials addressed
    • Tests and limits specified for vitreous china and stainless steel units.
  • Flushing characteristics and test rigs
    • Defines flushing performance checks (wash‑of‑bowl, oversplashing, discharge) using test rigs referenced in Annex A, B and C (flush valve, manual cistern, automatic cistern).
    • Flushing tests are performed with the flushing devices or flow rates declared by the manufacturer.
  • Specific test methods
    • Sawdust wash test to measure un‑flushed area of bowl after repeated flushes.
    • Three‑ball flush test (three plastic balls ~20 mm diameter) verifies trap clearance and siphonic action for specified sub‑types.
    • Oversplash and discharge checks ensure no unacceptable water splashing or overflow.
  • Trap / water seal
    • Minimum required depth of water seal (trap re‑fill) - not less than 50 mm for applicable sub‑types (exceptions where traps comply with EN 274‑1).
  • Material performance
    • Water absorption limits for glazed ceramic: average ≤ 0.75% by mass, no individual > 1.00%; stainless steel typically complies by design.
  • Mechanical performance
    • Load resistance tests to ensure no cracking, permanent distortion or detachment from the wall.
  • Cleanability and durability
    • Cleanability characteristics and durability tests differ by Type 1 vs Type 2 classification.
  • Marking and AVCP
    • Requirements for product marking and procedures for Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP); Annex ZA links to Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulation).

Applications - who uses this standard

  • Manufacturers: product design, type testing and CE marking preparations.
  • Test laboratories: performing standardized functional and durability tests.
  • Specifiers, architects and consultants: selecting compliant units for public buildings, washrooms and projects requiring documented performance.
  • Installers and facility managers: verifying installation compatibility (use with EN 80 dimensions, trap compatibility) and maintenance expectations.
  • Regulators and procurement teams: specifying compliant products and ensuring conformity with CPR.

Related standards

  • EN 80 - Wall‑hung urinals: connecting dimensions
  • EN 274‑1 - Waste fittings for sanitary appliances
  • EN 12056‑2 - Gravity drainage systems inside buildings (sanitary pipework)
  • Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulation) - see Annex ZA in EN 13407

EN 13407 provides clear test methods and acceptance criteria to ensure hygienic, durable and fit‑for‑purpose wall‑hung urinals for commercial and public installations.
