What is BS EN 246 about?
BS EN 246 discusses sanitary tapware with a focus on aerators. BS EN 246 is applicable to aerators intended to be mounted on tapware used with sanitary appliances in toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens (e.g., single taps, combination tap assemblies, mechanical mixing valves, thermostatic mixing valves).
BS EN 246 specifies the dimensional, mechanical, hydraulic and acoustic characteristics for aerators (with and without flow regulation). BS EN 246 also provides testing procedures for these characteristics.
