EN 15334:2007 - Sanitary appliances - Methacrylic dispersions of high filler content

Overview

EN 15334:2007 is a CEN (European) standard that specifies test methods for methacrylic dispersions of high filler content and for sanitary appliances produced from these dispersions by polymerisation. It covers definition and characterization of filled methacrylic materials (liquid methacrylic resin = PMMA polymers/copolymers dissolved in MMA), classifies high‑filler systems (inorganic filler > 50% w/w) and sets out laboratory tests both on the dispersion and on finished cast parts (e.g., sinks, baths, shower trays, vanity basins).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and terms: Defines “high filler content” and key material types (e.g., ATH, silica, quartz) and notes typical polymerisation routes (UV, redox, thermal).
  • Manufacturer information: Dispersant suppliers must provide resin type, sedimenting vs non‑sedimenting behaviour, filler type and polymerisation process.
  • Tests on dispersions (clause 5.1): standardized methods for measuring
    • Ash content (EN ISO 3451‑1 referenced) - quantifies inorganic filler (note: ATH‑filled materials are exempt from this test in the standard),
    • Agglomeration and particle condition,
    • Contamination (visual particle counts),
    • Density at 23 °C,
    • Viscosity (Brookfield method, thixotropy index where applicable),
    • Shrinkage during curing (dimensional change from liquid cast to polymerised part).
  • Tests on finished parts (clause 5.2): material performance tests for sanitary appliances, including
    • Water absorption (EN ISO 62),
    • Impact strength (EN ISO 179‑1),
    • Flexural modulus and strength (EN ISO 178),
    • Abrasion and scratch resistance (ISO 9352, ISO 4586‑2),
    • Barcol hardness (EN 59),
    • Vicat softening point, chemical resistance, UV resistance, and thermal expansion (ISO 11359‑2 referenced).

Applications and who uses it

  • Sanitary appliance manufacturers (production control, material selection and incoming inspection).
  • Raw material suppliers and formulators of filled methacrylic resins (product specifications and claims).
  • Third‑party test laboratories and QA departments (routine and type testing).
  • Specifiers, architects and product certifiers who require validated material performance data for sinks, shower trays, baths and worktops.
  • Regulators and standards committees using harmonised test methods for product conformity.

Related standards

EN 15334:2007 references and aligns with several normative standards used in test methods, including:

  • EN ISO 3451‑1 (ash), EN ISO 62 (water absorption), EN ISO 178 (flexural), EN ISO 179‑1 (impact), EN 59 (Barcol hardness), EN ISO 306 (Vicat), EN ISO 4892‑2 (UV/xenon), ISO 9352 (abrasion), ISO 4586‑2 and ISO 11359‑2.

Using EN 15334:2007 ensures consistent, comparable test data for filled methacrylic materials and finished sanitary appliances, supporting quality control, specification compliance and product development.

- the dimensional, mechanical, hydraulic and acoustic characteristics with which sanitary tapware aerators (with and without flow regulation) should comply;
- the procedures for testing these characteristics.
This document is applicable to:
- Sanitary tapware aerators intended to be mounted on tapware used with sanitary appliances in toilets, bathrooms and kitchens (e.g. single taps, combination tap assemblies, mechanical mixing valves, thermostatic mixing valves);
- Sanitary tapware aerators used under the following pressure and temperature conditions (see Table 1).
[Table 1: Conditions for the use of aerators]
NOTE 1   Sanitary tapware aerators can only be connected downstream of the obturator of the sanitary tapware product.
NOTE 2   For the purposes of brevity, sanitary tapware aerators will be detailed only as aerators in the rest of this document.
NOTE 3   The tests described in this document are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture.
NOTE 4   Aerator swivels are to be tested in combination with a specific aerator only and are therefore considered to be sanitary tapware accessories. (Testing of the stand-alone swivels is therefore not covered by the scope of this document. Where swivels are used they are considered to be part of the tapware constructions, e.g. for bidet taps).
