7 Leaktightness characteristics
7.1 General
This clause describes the test methods to verify the leaktightness of the complete tap and specifies the
corresponding requirements (see Table 6).
7.2.1 Principle
The principle of the test consists of checking under cold water pressure the leaktightness of:
bath/shower diverter (either manual or automatic return) (see 7.6, 7.7, 7.8).
7.3 Apparatus
A hydraulic test circuit, capable of supplying the required pressures and of maintaining them throughout the
duration of the test.
7.4 Leaktightness of the obturator and of the tap upstream of the obturator
7.4.1 Procedure
a) with the outlet orifice open, and generally turned downwards, close the obturator using a torque of
(1,5 ± 0,1) Nm for nominal size ½ and (2,5 ± 0,1) Nm for nominal size ¾. If a stuffing box is used to ensure
tightness of the headwork, the packing gland shall be loosened before application of the closing torque;
b) apply to the inlet of the tap a water pressure of (1,6 ± 0,05) MPa (16,0 ± 0,5) bar for (60 ± 5) s.

9 Hydraulic characteristics
9.1 General
This clause describes the test methods for measuring the flow rate of single and combination taps.
The test is not applicable to combination taps for ascending spray bidets or when the customer requires outlets of
special design e.g. bottle filling (see 6.5, special cases).
9.2.1 Principle
The value of the flow rate corresponding to a reference pressure is determined, the measurement being carried out
with the tap fully open. In the case of combination taps each side is tested separately and in some case with both
sides open in accordance with Table 8.
For taps for supply systems of Type 1 the reference pressure is (0,3 ± 0,02) MPa (3,0 ± 0,2) bar with accessories,
such as flow rate regulators, showers etc. replaced by flow resistances.
For taps for supply systems of Type 2 the reference pressure is 0,01 MPa (0,1) bar with any detachable check
valve element, flow rate regulator etc. removed.
9.2.2 Apparatus
A cold water supply system with temperature between 10 °C and 25 °C, capable of supplying the tap under
test with:
a dynamic pressure of (0,3 ± 0,02) MPa (3,0 ± 0,2) bar for taps for supply systems of Type 1;
a dynamic pressure of (0,01 ± 0,002) MPa (0,1 ± 0,02) bar for taps for supply systems of Type 2;
a test rig according to Figure 14 for taps for supply systems of Type 2;
9.2.3 Procedure
b) deformable inlet supply tubes ( flexible supply hoses) shall be tested in a straight condition);
c) open the obturator to its maximum position (one only when testing each side of a combination tap separately);
d) for taps for supply systems of Type 1 adjust the dynamic pressure to: (0,3 ± 0,02) MPa (3 ± 0,2) bar;
e) for taps for supply systems of Type 2 adjust the dynamic pressure to: 0,01 MPa (0,1) bar;
f) when a stable, continuous flow has been established, measure and record the corresponding flow rate.
9.3 Requirement
With the test conditions specified in 9.2 the measured flow rate shall be not less than that given in Table 8.

10.2.1 Principle
The principle of the test consists of submitting the operating mechanism to a given torque to verify its strength with
no water supplied.
10.2.2 Apparatus
This consists of either a torque wrench having an accuracy of 2 % fitted to the operating member or a lever arm
and a device for measuring the force applied.
The tap with its operating mechanism with, in the case of screw down taps, the seat washer removed.
Procedure
b) gradually apply over (4 + 2) s a torque of (6 ± 0,2) Nm to the operating mechanism in the opening direction;
e) gradually apply over (4 + 2) s a torque of (6 ± 0,2) Nm to the operating mechanism in the closing direction;
10.2.4 Requirement
there shall be no deformation or other deterioration which impairs the function of the tap;
the tap shall satisfy the requirements for leaktightness (7.4) and flow rate (9).
11.1.1 General
This clause describes a test method to verify the mechanical endurance of the operating mechanisms (head and
handle) of single taps and combination taps of nominal sizes ½ and ¾ and specifies the test criteria. Taps shall first
satisfy the leacktightness tests described in Clause 7.
Principle
The principle of the test consists of checking the behaviour of the operating mechanism by carrying out a number of
opening and closing operations, at specified cold water pressure with a specified dwell time (see Table A.1).

Apparatus
Automatic test rig, which rotates in both directions, the closing torque shall remain constant irrespective of wear of
the test piece.
The set closing torque shall not be affected by the momentum of the equipment during the test.
A supply circuit with a pump or a similar device, capable of producing the required pressure at a temperature less
than 30 °C or at (60 +05 ) °C.
If the water is supplied by a circulation system, it is necessary to ensure that the quality of the water does not
change during the test (e.g., ingress of grease or other contaminants).
A device to actuate the operating mechanism of the tap. This shall not impose, by virtue of misalignment or
otherwise, any axial or radial forces that would not occur in normal use.
NOTE The test sample may show abnormal wear due to loads imposed by the test equipment resulting from eccentricity of
the two axes. This results in pick-up on one side only due to lateral forces which do not occur in normal use. The tolerance on
concentricity should therefore be as small as possible.
11.1.3 Procedure
a) Fit the tap to be tested complete with its handle onto the equipment and connect to the water supply circuit;
c) with the tap closed, adjust the water static pressure, to (0,4 ± 0,02) MPa (4 ± 0,2) bar;
d) with the tap open, adjust the flow rate, by throttling the outlet of the tap, to (6 ± 1) l/min;
e) where leacktightness of the spindle is ensured by a stuffing box the gland nut is loosened as follows:
with the outlet orifice closed, open the obturator. Apply a water pressure of 0,1 MPa (1,0 bar);
f) carry out 200 000 opening and closing cycles, with a speed of (30 ± 0,1) rpm: using hot and cold water
alternatively for periods of (15 + 1 )min each:
close completely with a torque of (2,5 ± 0,25) Nm and maintain this torque for time T < 0,4 s;
retain the closed position for a total dwell time of time T of (2 ± 0,1) s;
in the case of taps having a stuffing box to ensure tightness of the headwork the gland nut may be
adjusted at intervals of not less than 50 000 cycles.
11.1.4 Requirement
After testing, the tap shall again satisfy the leacktightness criteria given in Clause 7, and there shall be no
permanent deformation or failure of any component part.
