This European Standard applies to fire dampers that are to be used in conjunction with fire separating elements to maintain fire compartments. This standard specifies requirements and gives reference to the test methods defined for fire dampers, which are intended to be installed in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) installations in buildings. All fire dampers close automatically in response to raised temperatures indicating fire. Details are given for the provision of evaluation of conformity and marking of fire dampers. To avoid duplication reference is made to a variety of other standards. To this end it is advised to read this standard in conjunction with EN 1366-2 and EN 1363-1 for details of the fire resistance testing and EN 13501-3 for classification. Fire dampers meeting requirements of this standard may be considered suitable for both ducted and unducted applications. This standard has not considered in detail the detrimental and/or corrosive effects that may be caused by chemical processes present in the atmosphere, which are drawn through the system intentionally or inadvertently and therefore does not apply to fire dampers used in such applications. An indication of salt spray corrosion may be determined using the method described in Annex B.

Shower enclosures - Functional requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies "characteristics" for shower enclosures for domestic purposes which ensure that the product, when installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions, gives satisfactory performance when used as intended. This European Standard does not apply to shower cabinets or curtains and does not specify aesthetic and dimensional "characteristics". NOTE For the purposes of this document the term "domestic purposes" includes use in hotels, accommodation for students, hospitals and similar buildings, except when special medical provisions are required.


Baths for domestic purposes

This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods and procedures for evaluation of conformity for baths used for domestic purposes and personal hygiene, which ensure that the product, when installed and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, will satisfy requirements for cleanability and durability. This European Standard is applicable to all sizes and shapes of baths. This European Standard does not cover baths for use with medical provisions. NOTE 1 For the purpose of this standard the term “domestic purposes” includes use in hotels, accommodation for students, hospitals and similar buildings. NOTE 2 Annex A lists characteristics of materials commonly used for manufacturing baths.


Shower trays for domestic purposes

This European Standard specifies "characteristics", test methods and procedures for evaluation of conformity for shower trays used for domestic purposes which ensure that the product, when installed, used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, will satisfy cleanability and durability when used for personal hygiene. This standard is applicable to all sizes and shapes of shower trays. This standard does not cover shower trays for use with medical provisions. NOTE 1 For the purpose of this standard the term "domestic purposes" includes use in hotels, accommodation for students, hospitals and similar buildings. NOTE 2 Annex A lists characteristics of materials commonly used for manufacturing shower trays.


Building hardware - Door coordinator devices - Requirements and test methods

Please read the qualifying note at the end of the summary of the directive. This European Standard specifies requirements for door coordinator devices for double leaf swing doors fitted with door closers, and includes both separately mounted devices and mechanisms incorporated in door closers. Door coordinator devices are used where it is necessary to ensure the correct sequence of closing of double leaf swing doors, for example doors with rebated meeting stiles. Door coordinator devices manufactured in accordance with this European Standard are recommended for use wherever there is a requirement for reliable sequential closing of double leaf swing fire/smoke doors incorporating rebated meeting stiles. Door coordinator devices for use on fire/smoke doors need additional attributes in order to contribute actively to meeting the essential requirements of safety in case of fire, either independently or as part of a complete door assembly. These additional requirements for door coordinator devices for use on a fire/smoke door assembly are specified in normative annex A.


Bidets - Functional requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies the functional requirements and test methods for bidets used for domestic purposes and made from either ceramics or stainless steel. All drawings are examples only, other forms are permissible. NOTE For the purposes of this standard the term ‘domestic purposes‘ includes use in hotels, accommodation for students, hospitals and similar buildings, except when special medical provisions are required.


Sanitary appliances - Wash basins - Functional requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of quaternary ammonium surface active agents in raw materials and formulated products, defined as being the amount of quaternary ammonium surface active agents expressed in millimoles per 100 g of product. NOTE 1 The applicability in products different than those tested should be checked in each particular case. NOTE 2 In comparison to usual laboratory two-phase titration with visual endpoint determination (see ISO 2871-1 and ISO 2871-2) potentiometric titration offers the advantage of automation, operator-dependent differences in recognising the equivalence point can be neglected, and a non-critical solvent replaces the toxicologically critical chloroform.


Playground equipment and surfacing - Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods

This part of EN 1176 specifies general safety requirements for permanently installed public playground equipment and surfacing. Additional safety requirements for specific pieces of playground equipment are specified in subsequent parts of this standard. This part of EN 1176 covers playground equipment for all children. It has been prepared with full recognition of the need for supervision of young children and of less able or less competent children. The purpose of this part of EN 1176 is to ensure a proper level of safety when playing in, on or around playground equipment, and at the same time to promote activities and features known to benefit children because they provide valuable experiences that will enable them to cope with situations outside the playground. This part of EN 1176 is applicable to playground equipment intended for individual and collective use by children. It is also applicable to equipment and units installed as children's playground equipment although they are not manufactured as such, but exclude those items defined as toys in EN 71 and the Toys Safety Directive. It is not applicable to adventure playgrounds with the exception of those items which have been commercially sourced. NOTE Adventure playgrounds are fenced, secured playgrounds, run and staffed in accordance with the widely accepted principles that encourage children's development and often use self-built equipment. This part of EN 1176 specifies the requirements that will protect the child from hazards that they might be unable to foresee when using the equipment as intended, or in a manner that can be reasonably anticipated. The use of electricity in play equipment, either as a play activity or as a motive force, is outside the scope of this standard. The attention of users is drawn to European and local national standards and regulations which are to be complied with when using electricity. Play equipment placed in water and where water can be seen as impact attenuating surfacing is not fully covered by this standard and additional risks are associated with wet environments. The risk of exposure to excessive levels of UV radiation is not covered in this standard.


Playground equipment and surfacing - Part 2: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for swings

This European Standard specifies additional safety requirements for swings intended for permanent installation for use by children. Where the main play function is not swinging, the relevant requirements in this part of EN 1176 may be used, as appropriate. NOTE Recommendations on the design and siting of swings are given in Annex A.
