EN 198:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for baths for domestic purposes made from crosslinked cast acrylic sheet conforming to EN 263 with the aim of ensuring that the product, when installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, will provide satisfactory performance in use. This European Standard is applicable to all sizes and shapes of baths. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

The bath shall be free from sharp edges that would be exposed after the installation of the bath in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 4.2 Material The bath shall be manufactured from crosslinked cast acrylic material in accordance with EN 263. 4.3 Surface appearance When the bath is visually inspected under strong and oblique illumination there shall be no evidence of cracks, chips, or other surface defects, such as unexpected changes in colours, etc., which will impair the appearance or performance of the bath. 4.4
Waste outlet hole The bath shall have at least one outlet hole. The dimensions of the waste outlet hole and the clearance around the waste outlet hole shall either be in accordance with the requirements of EN 232 or the manufacturer shall supply or recommend a suitable waste outlet fitting.

If not pre-fitted by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's instructions shall indicate how and where the handgrips are fitted. 4.9 Dimensional deviations The dimensions of baths shall not deviate from the size quoted by the manufacturer by more than ± 5 mm. If the manufacturer states two sizes (e.g. both a work size and a nominal size), the manufacturer shall state to which size the permitted deviations apply. For round baths, length and width correspond to the diameter. 4.10
Geometric deviations 4.10.1 General The straight sides or edges of the bath that might abut independent surroundings or supporting structures shall comply with the requirements of 4.10.2 to 4.10.4 and all baths shall comply with 4.10.5. These requirements are not applicable to sides or edges that are purposely designed as curves or slopes. 4.10.2 Squaring When tested in accordance with A.2.2, the deviation from square, ûq, shall be less than or equal to 5 mm. 4.10.3 Straightness of the rim sides When tested in accordance with A.2.3, the deviation from straightness of the rim sides, ûs, shall be less than or equal to 5 mm. 4.10.4 Straightness of the bottom edge of the rim When tested in accordance with A.2.4, the total deviation from straightness of the bottom edge of the rim, ûr, shall be less than or equal to 5 mm.
