DIN EN 1111:2017-10

This European Standard specifies general construction, performance and material requirements for PN 10 thermostatic mixing valves (TMV) and includes test methods for the verification of mixed water temperature performance at the point of use below 45 °C. This does not exclude the selection of higher temperatures where available. When these devices are used to provide anti-scald protection for children, elderly and disabled persons the mixed water temperature needs to be set at a suitable bathing temperature (body temperature approximately 38 °C) as children are at risk to scalding at lower temperatures than adults. This does not obviate the need for supervision of young children during bathing. It applies to valves intended for use on sanitary appliances in kitchens, washrooms (incl. all rooms with sanitary tapware, such as toilets and cloakrooms) and bath rooms operating under the conditions specified in Table 1. This standard allows TMVs to supply a single outlet or a small number of outlets in a "domestic" application (for example, one valve controlling a shower, bath, basin and/or bidet), excluding valves specifically designed for supplying a large number of outlets (such as for institutional use). The tests described are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture. This document (EN 1111:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 164 "Drinking water treatment", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 003-02-01 AA "Sanitärarmaturen" ("Sanitary tapware") at DIN Standards Committee Valves (NAA).
