  2. WC-pans (BRL-K619)

WC-pans (BRL-K619)

The products are intended to be applied as sanitary appliances in combination with flushing cisterns (conform BRL-K 620), or pressure flush-valves at different nominal flush volumes. These appliances are intended for connection to drinking water installations with a maximum water temperature of 30ºC and a maximum working pressure of 1000 kPa.

Use of water:
- WC-pans needing an effective flushing volume of 4 Litres.
- WC-pans needing an effective flushing volume of 5 Litres.
- WC-pans needing an effective flushing volume of 6 Litres.
- WC-pans needing an effective flushing volume of 7 Litres.
- WC-pans needing an effective flushing volume of 9 Litres.

The way of mounting:
- pedestal (floor mounted) WC-pans for use with an independent flushing device.
- wall-hung (wall mounted) WC-pans for use with an independent flushing device.

Internal shape:
- wash-out WC-pans;
- wash-down WC-pans.

Classification:
In general 2 classes are defined, these are:

Type
Designation / application
Class 1:These are WC-pans for use in combination with a flushing appliance and especially designated for use in the European continent;
Class 2:These are WC-pans for use in combination with a flushing appliance and in line with the legislation, market requirements and applicable in the United Kingdom.

The classes are then categorized on the basis of type and flush volume to be used.

The Dutch law has no binding law describing the class and types of WC-pans, however there are regulations stipulated by law for drainage systems inside buildings. In the Dutch Building Regulations reference is given to the NEN 3215+C1: 2014 “Drainage systems inside buildings – Requirements and determination methods” in which clause 4.1.7 is specified that:

For a good function of the drainage systems inside buildings the use of a flush volume of at least 6 litres is required.

At the moment of publication of the EN 997 is the use of flush volume less than 6 litres not advised, unless it is proven that no problems occur to the drainage system when using of a less flush volume.

The Dutch sewage system is not designed for the application and use of ceramic sanitary appliances using a flush volume less that 6 liters. Without adapted measures the use of less flush volumes can cause problems to the sewage waste systems.

Steps to obtain a certificate with the Kiwa Water Mark are:
1. Fill in an application form and send it to Kiwa (application form is located on the right side);
2. Kiwa sends a quotation, which is at the same time a concept-agreement, drawn up according to the requirements of the guideline;
3. After mutual signing of the quotation, the agreement is definitive and the initial audit can start;
4. After positive results of the initial audit, the certificate will be issued;
5. The certificate is valid indefinitely;
6. A part of the agreement is periodic audits.

Important aspects of the initial audit (steps 3 and 4) include:
a.Testing with regard to the product and/or performance requirements. Testing, often carried out in our own laboratories, demonstrates that the product meets the certification requirements for functional and hygienic aspects, such as durability, dimensions, composition of materials, etc.;
b. Assessment of the production process, quality system and internal quality control (IQC) scheme. To ascertain that the producer is continually able to manufacture products that meet the certification requirements.

The periodic audits aim at the maintenance of the management system, in order to maintain confidence that the producer is still able to manufacture products that meet the certification requirements. The periodic audits include functional and hygienic tests of the certified products. The audit frequency varies from product group to product group: in general, 2 to 4 times per year.

Conditions for the certification process are stated in the Kiwa Regulations for Certification and the General Terms and Conditions of Kiwa for the performance of orders.
