EN 13558:2003 - Specifications for impact modified extruded acrylic sheets for shower trays for domestic purposes

Overview

EN 13558:2003 is a CEN European Standard that specifies the required properties and test methods for impact modified extruded acrylic sheets used to manufacture shower trays for domestic purposes. “Domestic purposes” includes residential use and similar buildings such as hotels, student accommodation and hospitals (except where special medical provisions are needed). The standard defines performance, durability and safety criteria to ensure consistent material quality for sanitary installations.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard covers material characteristics, test methods and acceptance criteria for acrylic sheets. Major technical topics include:

  • Material definition: Impact modified extruded sheets of MMA-based polymers (at least 80% methyl methacrylate) modified with acrylic elastomers.
  • Thickness: Minimum sheet thickness specified (not less than 2.7 mm) with thickness tolerances.
  • Mechanical properties: Requirements and test methods for tensile properties, modulus, elongation and impact resistance (tests referenced to ISO standards such as ISO 527 and ISO 179).
  • Thermal stability: Oven test (e.g., sheets exposed at ~165 °C for a specified period) to check blistering and deformation; annealing procedures are defined if defects appear.
  • Vicat softening point: Determination of heat performance using ISO 306.
  • Optical and colour fastness: Resistance to UV exposure (xenon arc per ISO 4892) and to hot water cycles (e.g., repeated immersion at ~60 °C), with colour change assessed by the ISO grey scale (ISO 105-A02).
  • Chemical and stain resistance: Tests against common domestic reagents (acids, alkalis, bleaches, alcohols, staining agents) and defined cleaning/abrasion procedures.
  • Durability tests: Wet/dry cycling, water absorption, shrinkage (refers to ISO 7823-2) and resistance to stress cracking; the standard specifies specimen preparation, conditioning and reporting (including time to first crack).
  • Environmental/safety: Limits on heavy metal content referenced to Directive 91/338/EEC for restricted substances.

Applications and who uses the standard

EN 13558:2003 is used by:

  • Acrylic sheet manufacturers to formulate and certify materials for shower trays.
  • Fabricators and shower tray manufacturers to verify incoming sheet materials meet performance requirements.
  • Test laboratories and quality control teams for routine conformity testing (mechanical, thermal, chemical, optical).
  • Specifiers, architects and procurement teams who include material performance criteria in product specifications for residential, hospitality and healthcare projects.
  • Regulatory bodies and certification schemes assessing compliance with European sanitary installation standards.

Related standards

EN 13558 references and aligns with relevant ISO standards (ISO 527, ISO 179, ISO 306, ISO 4892, ISO 7823-2) and cites EU chemical restrictions (Directive 91/338/EEC), making it a practical specification for material selection and compliance in the shower tray supply chain.

Keywords: EN 13558:2003, impact modified extruded acrylic sheets, shower trays, CEN, acrylic sheet testing, colour fastness, stress cracking, Vicat softening point.

- 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).
