GB28377-2019
Minimum allowable values of water efficiency and water efficiency grades for urinals
小便器水效限定值及水效等级
GB 28377-2019 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Minimum allowable values of water efficiency and water efficiency grades for urinals. It appears in the Food compliance cluster with a product safety focus and has an implementation date of Jan 1, 2021.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to various types of urinals (excluding waterless urinals) installed on cold water supply pipelines in building facilities, operating under a static water pressure not exceeding 0.6 MPa. It is mandatory for evaluating the water efficiency of these products. It references terms defined in GB/T 9195.
Technical requirements
The standard classifies water efficiency grades for urinals into three levels, with Grade 1 being the most efficient and Grade 3 being the minimum allowable value. Manufacturers must ensure their products meet at least Grade 3 requirements to enter the market. It also specifies the water-saving evaluating value as Grade 2. Additionally, the standard outlines functional requirements including washing function, sewage replacement function, and water seal depth for urinals with an integral trap. Compliance with these functional metrics is essential for overall certification.
Testing methods
Testing procedures are detailed in the normative appendix and include the average water consumption test conducted under specific static pressures (0.17 MPa and 0.55 MPa). It also covers the washing function test using ink lines, the sewage replacement test using methylene blue solution, and various trap tests such as water seal depth and recovery. These tests must be performed using a standardized supply system.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 28377-2019?
It regulates various types of urinals installed in building facilities, excluding waterless urinals, operating under a static pressure of 0.6 MPa or less.
What is the minimum allowable water efficiency grade?
The minimum allowable value corresponds to Grade 3. Products must meet this threshold to be compliant. The water-saving evaluating value is Grade 2.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 28377-2012?
Yes, the 2019 version modifies the scope, some terms, basic requirements, and water efficiency grade indicators. It also adds flushing function requirements and a calculation formula for average water consumption.
