Faucet European Standard EN 817 Testing

In the global bathroom product trade, the European market has set strict entry requirements for related products. Faucets are one of the major categories of kitchen and bathroom products we export to Europe. Manufacturers must perform testing according to EN 817 and obtain the corresponding certification.

Service Scope

We offer faucet product testing and certification services for the following standards:

- EN 817 – Single Lever Faucets

- EN 200 – Faucets

- EN 1111 – Thermostatic Faucets

- EN 816 – Push Button Faucets

Testing Content

1. Identification and Marking: Faucets must be labeled with the manufacturer's name and logo. Typically, a red button indicates hot water, and a blue button indicates cold water.

2. Material Corrosion Resistance Test: The chemical and sanitary properties of the materials are tested to ensure safety and prevent contamination. The surface condition and plating quality must meet standard requirements.

3. Dimensional Properties: Ensuring that the faucet dimensions comply with design requirements. Mechanical mixing valves installed on a horizontal surface must meet specific drawing requirements.

4. Leakage Resistance: Testing the faucet’s sealing performance under certain pressure to ensure that components do not loosen or leak under pressure.

5. Mechanical Operation Under Pressure: Testing the faucet’s mechanical operation under pressure, including static pressure characteristics and dynamic pressure operation performance.

6. Water Pressure Operation Performance: Testing the faucet’s operation under various water pressures, including flow rate and flow level.

7. Torque Resistance: Testing the faucet's performance under twisting forces to ensure its mechanical strength and durability.

8. Mechanical Durability: Conducting fatigue tests to simulate long-term usage and durability.

9. Acoustic Characteristics: Testing the noise level of the faucet during operation to ensure its acoustic performance meets standards.

The EU has set strict regulations on product quality and performance from multiple aspects. Only by thoroughly understanding and strictly following these standard requirements, and undergoing the professional certification process, can companies ensure their products successfully enter the European market and gain consumer trust and recognition.
