The design criteria esta
10、blished in the 1960 edition of BS 3215 have become generally accepted such that urinals conforming to the standard are compatible with bed pan washers specified in BS 2745. However, there had been criticism of the first edition of this standard because it was specific to one design and, hence, in th
11、is revision the outdated design and material specification for male urinals has been replaced by performance criteria in order to allow for greater flexibility in the design and manufacture of portable urinals. The standard has also been expanded to include both male and female urinals as well as sp
12、ecifying a smaller urinal for those males of small stature. The provision of a cap for a urinal has been made optional. This British Standard specifies performance and marking requirements and also specifies the surface finish as the quality of finish is of particular importance from the standpoint
13、of resistance to corrosion and of ease of cleaning and disinfection. The Committee preparing this standard was aware that the entry to the urinal should not damage the patients skin and this is referred to in note 1 to clause 6. However, no appropriate objective test procedure was available to asses
14、s this quality. It has been assumed in the drafting of this standard that the tests for assessing compliance will be carried out by those who are appropriately qualified or under the supervision of experienced personnel. Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider t
15、he desirability of third party certification of product conformity with this British Standard based on testing and continuing product surveillance which may be coupled with assessment of a suppliers quality systems against the appropriate standard in the BS EN ISO 9000 series. Enquiries as to the av
16、ailability of third party certification schemes are forwarded by BSI to the Association of British Certification Bodies. If a third party certification scheme does not already exist, users should consider approaching an appropriate body from the list of Association members. Alternatively, users of t
17、his British Standard may wish to consider the desirability of assessment and registration of a suppliers quality systems by a third party certification body against an appropriate standard in the BS EN ISO 9000 series. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
18、contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

20、BS 3215:1995 BSI 10-19991 1 Scope This British Standard specifies materials, construction and performance requirements for reusable portable urinals intended for use by females (type 1) and males (type 2). A smaller size (type 3) for males is also specified. The urinals specified in this standard ar
21、e intended to fit into bed pan/urinal washer-disinfectors conforming to BS 2745-2. NOTEAnnex A gives details of the information that should be supplied by the purchaser to the manufacturer. 2 References 2.1 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by reference, provisions from specif
22、ic editions of other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate points in the text and the publications are listed on the inside back cover. Subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to this British Standard only when incorporated in it by
23、updating or revision. 2.2 Informative references This British Standard refers to other publications that provide information or guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editi
24、ons. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 urinal receptacle, essentially bottle-shaped, designed to be held close to or in contact with the human body, adjacent to the genitalia, for the collection of urine only 3.2 disinfection process used t
25、o reduce the number of viable micro-organisms in a product but which may not necessarily inactivate some viruses and bacterial spores 3.3 sterilization process used to render a product free from viable micro-organisms 3.4 cap removable closure used to prevent spillage from a urinal NOTEThe cap is no
26、t intended to provide a watertight seal. 3.5 bedside urinal holder device provided to prevent the overturning of a urinal when placed in a vertical attitude, i.e. with its major axis approximately vertical 4 Classification Urinals shall be classified as follows: a) type 1: urinals with a minimum cap
27、acity of 1 000 ml, intended for use by female persons; b) type 2: urinals with a minimum capacity of 1 000 ml, intended for use by male persons; c) type 3: urinals with a minimum capacity of 650 ml, intended for use by male persons. 5 Materials NOTE 1In selecting materials that are liable to come in
28、to contact with a patients skin, the purchaser and the manufacturer should be aware of the need to minimize thermal shock to the patient. (See also Annex A.) Materials used for the construction of any part of the urinal shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1. Expanded or cellular (foam)
29、plastics materials shall not be used. NOTE 2The materials used should preferably be transparent or translucent in order to enable users to check that the urinal is clean or full, and to enable users to visually inspect the urine contents. (See 6.1, 8.5 and Annex A.) 6 Construction and surface finish
30、 NOTE 1All external surfaces of the urinal and especially the entry rim should be designed so that the unprotected skin of a user will suffer no damage. (See foreword.) NOTE 2Abrasives can significantly scratch some materials and the manufacturer should warn the purchaser when a surface is particula
31、rly vulnerable and is to be cleaned with extra care. (See also 11.3 and clause 12.) 6.1 The surface finish of the urinal, both internal and external, shall present a smooth surface, free from any discontinuities and free from crevices having a radius of curvature of less than 3 mm. It shall be possi
32、ble to visually inspect all surfaces without the aid of instruments or equipment (see note 2 to clause 5). 6.2 All urinals shall have one opening only and shall be of one-piece construction with no supplementary components that require fitting before use. NOTEThis requirement does not preclude the p
33、urchaser requesting optional extra features (see Annex A).

34、h the orifice by which all surfaces can be washed by any washer-disinfector conforming to BS 2745-2:1993 (see 8.5). 6.4 With type 1 urinals, any part of the surface that is intended to come into direct contact with the users skin shall be not less than 4 mm wide or 4 mm thick. 6.5 If the urinal is f
35、itted with a handle see clause 10 and item e) in Annex A, either: a) it shall be of solid construction; or b) if hollow: 1) it shall be securely sealed against the entrapment of liquid or vapour; or 2) it shall permit cleaning as specified in 6.3. The handle shall be not less than 100 mm long and th
36、e separation between the handle and the wall of the urinal shall be not less than 25 mm for at least 75 mm of its length. With the urinal containing water not less than 60 % of the maximum capacity and held by the handle for 60 s with the principal axis at 45 5 to the horizontal, the handle shall no
37、t flex by more than 10 % in any direction. 7 Design (dimensions and capacity) NOTE 1It is assumed that the urinals specified in this British Standard will be bottle-shaped and that at least part of the wall of the urinal will have a nominally flat area which permits the urinal to be laid down in an
38、approximately horizontal attitude without rolling about. NOTE 2As all types of urinal may be used when supine, this should be borne in mind when considering the design. 7.1 Dimensions The overall dimensions of the urinal shall permit the urinal to fit any washer-disinfector conforming to BS 2745-2:1
39、993. (See also 6.3.) For a type 1 urinal, the orifice shall be not less than 70 mm at its widest and not less than 40 mm at its narrowest. For types 2 and 3 urinals, the distance across any axis of the orifice shall be not less than 45 mm. All radii shall be not less than 3 mm. 7.2 Capacity 7.2.1 No
