1 Introduction

Harmonized standards for Sanitary Appliances have been available for some time. CE marking of construction products started with the Construction Products Directive (CPD) 89/106 EC. This directive was replaced by 305/2011 EC “Construction Products Regulation” (CPR) in July 2013. The introduction of the CPR legislation brought with it a new legal framework mandating CE marking for compliant products and the supply of Declaration of Performance (DoP) documents when placing compliant products on the market.

The harmonized standards available at the present time may not show the actual legal situation according to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). Nevertheless, the products when placed on the market must follow the latest legal requirements detailed from the European Commission (EC).

It is only permissible to use harmonized standards only after the citation of the standards in the European Official Journal [OJEU] (followed by the citation in national official Journals). Currently the harmonized standards cited in the OJEU are reporting older product CE marking details, requesting a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), while e.g. the revised standards, still waiting for citation in the OJEU, include the reference to the Declaration of Performance (DoP) in accordance with the CPR. This situation can easily occur due to time delays between the publication of a regulation and the necessary revision of the underlying standards.

This document has the aim to show the current CPR requirements and examples for DoP and CE marking procedure of sanitary appliances. This guide is to help everyone to understand the actual legal requirements in terms of Declaration of Performance and CE marking that must be used for sanitary appliances.

2 Scope

This document is primary guidance and shows instructions, explanations and examples for both preparation of declarations of performance and CE marking in accordance with 305/2011 EC. The guidance is especially for harmonized standards of CEN/TC 163 e.g. EN 997, EN 12764, EN 13310, EN 13407, EN 14055, EN 14296, EN 14428, EN 14516, EN 14527, EN 14528 and EN 14688.

Products covered by these harmonised standards and therefore the CPR are WCs and WC suites, whirlpool baths, kitchen sinks, wall-hung urinals, WC and urinals flushing cisterns, communal washing troughs, shower enclosures, baths for domestic purposes, shower trays for domestic purposes, bidets and wash basins.

The relationship of the above mention standards with EU Construction Products Regulation are in the informative Annex ZA of the respective standard.

This document is guidance only and has no mandatory function. Legal requirements stated in 305/2011 EC and complementary delegated acts of EC e.g. 148/2014 EC and 574/2014 EC.

4 General

This document is a guidance paper for products complying with harmonized standards of CEN/TC 163. The basis for this guidance are the requirements laid out including and specific delegated acts of the CPR.

The EC 305/2011 “Construction Products Regulation” (CPR) lays down harmonized rules for marking construction products in the EU. The Regulation provides a common technical language to assess the performance of construction products. It ensures that reliable information is available to manufacturers, public authorities, market surveillance and consumers etc., so they can compare the performance of products from different manufacturers in different countries.

The Declaration of Performance (DoP) is a new key part of the CPR. It provides information to the market of the performance of a product. Each construction product covered by an European harmonized standard or for which a European Technical Assessment has been issued, needs such a DoP and has to be CE marked. This helps to increase transparency of information concerning the product in the market.

All EU countries are obliged to allow the selling of construction products bearing the CE mark. This means that public authorities cannot ask for any additional marks or certificates, or additional testing. Therefore, manufacturers are able to trade their products in any country of the European Internal Market with the same documentation and assessed product performance. In some cases, an EU country may have local regulations that do not allow the installation of some CE marked products despite the fact that they can legally be placed on the market.

Page 6 / 49

The affixing of the CE marking to a product means that the manufacturer is assuring that the performance of the sold product is the same as what was declared and indeed that it is fit for purpose.

The CE marking indicates that a product is in accordance with the requirements of the CPR.

With the CE marking of a product, the responsible person declares, that:• the corresponding conformity assessment procedures were carried out and• the product is subject to all applicable Community regulations.

CE marking shall be the only marking which attests conformity of the construction product with the declared performance in relation to the essential characteristics, covered by relevant harmonised standard.

Other markings e.g. trade marks may be used, provided that they help to improve the protection of users of construction products and are not covered by existing European Union harmonisation legislation, but only on condition that the visibility and legibility of the CE marking are not reduced, and provided that such marks are not likely to deceive third parties as to the meaning and form of the CE marking.

Member States cannot impose any additional requirement at national, regional or local level on construction products that bear CE marking.

Member States are allowed to select necessary properties by means of requirements on build level. Hence not all CE marked products could be installed all over Europe.

The format of the above mentioned Declaration of Performance (DoP) is defined in the CPR (EC 305/2011; Annex III). Further definitions for the preparation of DoPs as well as an amended template for the DoP were introduced with EC 574/2014.

All language versions of EC 574/2014 can be accessed through the following link:http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1492068560977&uri=CELEX:32014R0574

5 Declaration of Performance

The declaration of performance shall express the performance of construction products in relation to the essential characteristics of those products in accordance with the relevant harmonized European Standard.

In case of, e.g. a dealer or a wholesaler distributing a product under his own brand (private label), the responsibility for the CE-marking procedure will be passed to the product owner. In this case the product owner is the wholesaler or dealer as they have taken the responsibility by placing the product on the market under their own label / brand as if they are a manufacturer.

A copy of the DoP of each product which is made available on the market shall be supplied either in paper form or by electronic means.

o Common practice is to distribute DoP documents via manufacturers websites

The model of the DoP is provided in Annex III of the Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011.

Page 7 / 49



In accordance with this Regulation, the DoP shall contain, in particular, the following information:

Page 8 / 49

The reference of the product type for which the declaration of performance has been drawn up;

o All products covered by a single standard are deemed to be the same product type e.g. WC suite or pan, flushing cistern, urinal, wash basin, bidet, bath shower enclosure shower tray, communal washing trough and kitchen sink. For sanitary appliances –all products must be one of the 11 for mentioned types.

o Any one type can cover lists of multiple products that have only to satisfy the same Essential Characteristics.

the Assessment, Verification and Constancy of Performance (AVCP) system or systems of the construction product, as set out in Annex V of the CPR;o Sanitary Appliances are set at AVCP system level 4 according to mandate M/110

the reference number and date of issue of the harmonized standard which has been used for the assessment of each Essential Characteristic;o E.g. EN 997: 2017o E.g. EN 997 2012 + A1: 2015o The only applicable product standard for use are those that are cited in the OJEU.

where applicable, the reference number of the Specific Technical Documentation used and the requirements with which the manufacturer claims the product complies.o For sanitary appliances, this will always be the reference to the cited product

standard.

The DoP shall in addition contain:

the intended use or uses for the construction product, in accordance with the applicable harmonized technical specification;o P ersonal hygiene or PHo P reparation of food, Washing of dishes and Drainage of waste water, or PWD

(kitchen sinks only) the list of Essential Characteristics, as determined in the harmonized technical

specification for the declared intended use or uses;o see table ZA1 in annexes ZA of harmonized technical specification (e.g. product

standards) the performance of at least one of the essential Characteristics of the construction

product, relevant for the declared intended use or uses;o Common practice for Sanitary Appliances is to assess and declare all essential

characteristics.o Abbreviations of the essential characteristics are defined in the cited product

standard(s)

where applicable, the performance of the construction product, by levels or classes, or in a description, if necessary based on a calculation in relation to its Essential Characteristics determined in accordance with the Commission determination regarding those Essential Characteristics for which the manufacturer shall declare the performance of the product when it is placed on the market or the Commission determination

Page 9 / 49

Christian Taylor-Hamlin, 12/07/17,

Changed order of words and added undeline to emphasise origin of PWD

Amy Kirk, 02/10/17,

regarding threshold levels for the performance in relation to the Essential Characteristics to be declared;o Sanitary appliances do not have assessments for levels or classes within the product

standards according to the CPR.o In some cases, where product standards were cited under CPD, classes may be used

but this will be a temporary situation that gets resolved with the publication and citation of newer harmonized product standards under the CPR.

the performance of those Essential Characteristics of the construction product which are related to the intended use or uses, taking into consideration the provisions in relation to the intended use or uses where the manufacturer intends the product to be made available on the market;o Not all essential characteristics are mandated in all EU member states. The essential

characteristics of a product that are mandated in any member state shall be assessed and declared for the market.

o Common practice for Sanitary Appliances is to assess and declare all essential characteristics.

for the listed Essential Characteristics for which no performance is declared, the letters “NPD” (No Performance Determined) were used.o Common practice for Sanitary Appliances is to assess and declare all essential

characteristics.

Regarding the supply of the DoP, Article 7 of the Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 applies.

The CPR permits the distribution of the DoP on websites of the manufacturer or agent by means of the regulation:

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 157/2014 of 30 October 2013 on the conditions for making a declaration of performance on construction products available on a website.

The document can be found at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1488896098312&uri=CELEX:32014R0157 in all official languages.

At present, the declaration of Performance must fulfil the following delegated regulation:

“COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 574/2014 of 21 February 2014 amending Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the model to be used for drawing up a declaration of performance on construction products”

6 Guide for CE marking of Sanitary Appliances

Using the framework of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), Where products are assessed using harmonised standards they are required to carry a CE mark/label which in turn is supported by a Declaration of Performance (DoP) detailing the performance of the product to the Basic Requirements for Construction Works (BRCW) – also commonly known as essential characteristics.

Sanitary appliances, when assessed under the appropriate harmonised standards to demonstrate compliance with the CPR, has a number of characteristics that must be validated. With this in mind and the need to provide labelling in the language of country of destination, a simplified coding method has been developed to aid easy checking and verification by authorities of the CE label placed on a sanitary appliances product or packaging.

o A full system of simplified abbreviation codes has been developed for Sanitary Appliances and these are fully checked and supported by the European Commission as suitable methods to detail product performance on CE labels.

o This is also the case where the standards were previously cited under the CPD as declarations given under the CPD are still valid under the CPR until they are replaced by newly cited product standards.

The CE marking indicates that a construction product is in conformity with its declared performance and shall include the following information:

The CPR demands a specific set of data to be included on the CE label

name or identifying mark of the manufacturer o A name or identifying mark of the ‘manufacturer’ shall be given or the name of the

manufacturer in the EEA or his authorized appointed deputy in the EEA.

registered address of the manufacturer or an address which allows the consumer to get into contact with the manufacturer.o Manufacturers shall include the name and the registered address of the

manufacturer, or an identifying mark which easily allows the identification of the name and address of the manufacturer ora post box address or a web address (as long as the web address leads to the details the full postal address of the manufacturer) is sufficient.

Page 16 / 49

the last two digits of the year in which the marking was first affixedManufacturers are obliged to include the last two digits of the year of the CE-marking which could refer to:o the year in which the initial type testing was carried out, as the first reference of the

attestation of performance of the product

or

o the actual year, when factory production control has confirmed the accordance to the CPR as a continual and regular process based on AVCP as described in Annex ZA of the relevant standard.

the unique identification code of the product-typeo This code shall be the unique identification code of the product type without any

ambiguity which will link the CE marking to the declaration of performance and the declared performance.

This be could be a part code or an SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) number code or a subset of these codes that describe the product and can be related to the information contained on the DoP e.g. this could describe the product without a specific colour code. XX.XXX.YY where YY could be e.g. a colour option or other additional feature not related to the harmonized product standard or performance of the product – in case XX.XXX would be sufficient.

the reference number of the declaration of performance will also have to be includedo In case the unique identification code of the product type is not the same as the

reference number of the declaration of performance this number shall also be shown

reference to the European Standard (used to assess the products’ performance)o This means the reference to the harmonized standard applied to assessment of the

producte.g. EN 997 etc. This does not need to include the year of publication of the harmonized product standard as this information is detailed on the DoP.

the designation of the product according the corresponding European Standardo The designation codes fully describe the performance of the product.

Characteristics are tested for compliance with the applicable standard.For sanitary appliance this is the applicable abbreviation code as detailed in the appropriate harmonized product standard.

the intended use as laid down in the harmonized European Standardo The relevant information about the intended use shall be included and has to be the

same as the corresponding point in the declaration of performance.o For sanitary appliances, this will be

o Personal hygiene or PHo Preparation of food, washing of dishes and drainage of waste water or PWD

(kitchen sinks only)

Page 17 / 49

The CE marking symbol shall be in accordance with the general principles set out in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No. 765/2008. It may be followed by a pictogram or any other mark notably indicating a special risk or use.

It shall be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly in such a way:• to the product

o e.g. WC suite or wall-hung urinal

or

• to a label attached to ito e.g. WC suites or wall-hung urinal

Where this is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature of the product, it shall be affixed • to the packaging

or

• to the accompanying documentso e.g. shower enclosures

This approach is justified to guarantee the easy visibility of the CE-mark to give the maximum chance for e.g. market surveillance for the identification of the CE-marking.

o Common practice for Sanitary Appliances is that the CE label is placed on the product. When products are inside packaging e.g. carton boxes that render the product non-visible the CE label shall be placed on the packaging. In this case there is no further need to label the product inside the packaging.

o In case, e.g. a dealer or a wholesaler distributes a product under his own brand (private label), the responsibility for the CE-marking procedure will be passed to the product owner.

o In this case the product owner is the wholesaler or dealer as they have taken the responsibility by placing the product on the market under their own label / brand as if they are a manufacturer.

9 REACH information

Construction products are subject to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation XVI covering chemicals used in the EU. Therefore, manufacturers have also to fulfil all the requirements established in this regulation.

However, construction products manufacturers are not usually obliged to supply a safety data sheet because these products are not considered to be a substance or mixture according to the REACH regulation (see article 31 and article 33 of REACH).

E.g. sanitary ceramics, mentioned in this document, do not meet the criteria of REACH Article 31.1 and the manufacturers, importers and distributors of mixtures are not obligated to supply neither a REACH certificate nor a safety data sheet.

The following gives an example of document confirming the non-obligation of REACH for ceramics products / components within sanitary appliances:

DECLARATION OF COMPLIANCE (Template)

REACH

The legislation concerning the registration, assessment, approval and restriction of chemical substances (REACH) came into force on the 18th. November 2006.

As a manufacturer of sanitary ceramic products, company XXX is regarded as a "downstream user" in terms of the REACH Directive 1907/2006. Obligations arising from the manufacture and placing on the market of substances / chemicals to pre-registration and registration are not applicable to us.

Our products and commodities are therefore not defined as Materials or Preparations. Furthermore, no materials are released from our commodities under normal and predictable conditions of use. This means that company XXX is subject neither to the obligation to register, nor to the obligation to produce safety data-sheets.

In order to guarantee our customers a continuous supply of reliable and safe products, we also ensure that our suppliers fulfil all the requirements with regard to materials, and thus do not use any chemical substances included in the list of candidates of concern-generating materials (SVHC) for the manufacture of our products.

Page 46 / 49

10 Information on dangerous substances

The Construction Products Regulation defines the ways in which a declaration of performance may be made by the producer. In respect of dangerous substances this is likely to be by way of a level or class, rather than a description.

A principle of the Construction Products Regulation [2] is that the Declaration of Performance (DoP), together with the harmonised standards, should give all the information needed by users and regulators.

Further information on dangerous substances can be found in specific clauses in each harmonised product standard for Sanitary Appliances.

Details on requirements on dangerous substances of member states can be found at

https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/cp-ds_en?field_section_tid=153

Delegated acts covering the specifics of dangerous substances are currently being prepared.

E.g. for ceramic products; Hereby we declare that our products made of sanitary ceramics are in accordance with the relevant safety and health requirements of the EC directives due to their choice of raw materials, design and construction.

Products made of sanitary ceramics are in accordance with the relevant safety and health requirements of the EC directives due to their choice of raw materials, design and construction.

Due to this these products are free of any dangerous substances.

11 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Use of a post box address

The CPR (305/2011 EC) demands to show the address or identifying mark of the manufacturer to accompany the CE-marking (Article 9 of 305/2011) with the aim to easily find the correct contact information.

A post box address; or a web address (as long as the web address leads to the details of the full postal address of the manufacturer) is therefore sufficient.

Does the CE label need to include the Year of publication of the standard on the label?

No.

There is no requirement to include the year of publication of the harmonised standard on the CE label as this information has to be provided as part of the DoP information. The DoP is the full confirmation of the assessment of the performance of the product while the CE label is a shortened form to help convey information in an expedient format for market surveillance purposes.

How should packs that contain multiple CE compliant products be labelled?

Where the pack contains e.g. both a WC bowl and a flushing cistern, these products can be covered by a label under EN 997. (See also EN 14055 scope that details EN 997 to cover one piece and Type 2 products). In some cases, manufacturers may choose to separately detail CE labels (and associated DoPs) for EN 997 (WC) and EN 14055 (flushing cisterns).

Where a pack may contain multiple products that are not designed to work together as in the case of WCs, each applicable CE label should be covered on the outer pack.

Marking of Glass & Curved Glass in shower enclosure/bath screens

Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for use in shower enclosures in flat panel, typically conforms with EN 12150. However, there is currently no similar existing test specification for curved glass. When preparing EN 14428 as a test specification for shower enclosures, the EN 12150 test requirements were written in to EN 14428 for all flat and curved glass. However, when glass producers make curved glass for use in shower enclosures they are unable to mark the panels with EN 12150. The shower enclosure manufacturer will however have verified the curved glass (using EN 14428) to the same performance standard as that detailed for flat glass in EN 12150. For reference the requirement in EN 12150 and in EN 14428 for glass is a particle count of 40 or greater and the length of the longest particle shall not exceed 100mm.

Does the CE label need a ‘Made in XXX’ country of origin mark?

No.

This is not a requirement of the CE label. Full contact details of the manufacturer/agent/importer should be included on the DoP – this is registered address of the company and not the address of the production plant.

Page 48 / 49

Are all versions of published standards suitable for use for CE marking?

No.

Only those standards that have been cited in the OJEU are applicable to be used as the reference document for CE labels and DoP documents for Sanitary Appliances.

When a new product standard is cited in the OJEU, does the CE label and DoP document need to be updated?

No.

Where standards have been cited in the OJEU but have subsequently been replaced by newer versions of product standards; products already placed on the market may in fact be CE marked with DoP documents relating to these older cited versions. This is also acceptable until the point that the manufacturer decides to change the product at which point assessment must be made against the latest cited version of the product standard.
