The BEAB Care In-Service Tests apply to products operated and maintained within
the BEAB Care approval requirements.
To maintain the validity of the BEAB Care mark, the installation and appliance should
be inspected regularly. The purpose of the in-service tests is to monitor and record
the performance of the shower. Any deterioration in performance can indicate the
need for maintenance work on the appliance and/or the water supplies.
Frequency of Inspections
Upon the initial installation of the shower and after any major repair work, the in-service tests
must be performed and the results recorded on the BEAB Care In-Service Test Record.
The shower should be tested again within 6 to 8 weeks after installation or any
major repair.
If there is no significant change in the outlet water temperature greater than ±1º C
between the two inspections, the in-service test frequency may be reduced but must
not exceed 12 months between any two inspections.
Equipment Required
The following equipment or suitable equivalent will be required in order for the tests
to be performed:
Digital Multimeter
100 mm diameter plastic funnel
Digital liquid thermometer accurate to 0.1º C
2 - 22 l/min flow measure cup
Pass/ Fail Criteria
If the outlet water temperature measured in step 14 has changed by more than 1º C
since the previous inspection. The shower, showerhead, hose and inlet filter should
be checked for blockages and cleaned and descaled or if required renewed. Checks
should also be performed to confirm that, the maximum temperature setting has not
been changed, any check valves or other backflow prevention devices are working
correctly and that any isolating valves in the supply pipework are fully open. The
shower should be recommissioned and re-tested.
If either of the outlet water temperature measurements are more than 2º C above the
maximum temperature setting this is considered to be a failure,
the shower must
not be used
, until the fault has been rectified and the product successfully re-tested.
