Product
Product description
Sanitaryware is the generic term used to describe
items which traditionally were made from pottery.
i.e. WC's, Washbasins and Bidets installed within a
bathroom or washroom. Vitreous China is a common material used for bathroom sanitary ware, such
as console sinks and toilets. Vitreous China sanitaryware products are primarily made of clay, kaolin,
feldspar and quartz but they may also include small
quantities of other raw materials. Its high gloss,
stain resistant surface is ideal for use in both bathrooms and kitchens.
The casting slip is made of the above craw materials
are prepared and cast into plaster moulds to form a
green body. The green body then undergoes a natural drying process and were given a smooth finish.
Glazing is applied before firing at 1200°C to obtain
Vitreous China sanitaryware with almost no water
absorption.
A standard product classification in sanitaryware is
as follows:

Other pieces: bidet, pedestals, washbasins and
WCs for communities and for disabled people,
etc.
Toilet pans manufactured by Kaleseramik has very
low of water consumption of 2.7lt per flush.
Application
Sanitaryware can be applied in newly constructed
buildings and in renovation and maintenance
projects in both residential and non-residential buildings. Residential buildings can be rental or privatelyowned houses; non-residential buildings are other
buildings such as commercial offices, but also hospitals and hotels. The material employed for the
realization of the sanitary products in ceramics (vitreous china, fire clay, fine fire clay) determines the
characteristics and the final destination of the product. Ceramic sanitaryware is extremely robust and
naturally resistant.
Technical Data
Kaleseramik’s Vitreous China ceramic sanitarywares are manufactured under the warranty of the
ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System. The
company also has OHSAS 18001 Occupational
Health and Safety and ISO 14001 Environmental
Management systems in place.

China Ceramic Sanitaryware
The vitreous china sanitarywares conform to following standards and specifications:
- The dimensioning of the vitreous china saniatry
ware is shown below (width x length x height mm):
Wash basin:350x345x165 and 650x440x177
WC Pan: 360x510x390, 350x625x420
Cistern: 345x185x355, 352x140x430
Urinal: 310x475x320, 360x550x340
- The ratio of Vitreous China and Fine Fire Clay
products is 97% and 3%, respectively.
- Harkord-Cracking Test according to TL 20:
Compliant
- Water absorption test according to EN 997 (max
0.5%): Compliant
- Resistance to chemicals and staining agents
according to NFD 14-508:1985: Compliant
- Surface hardness test to TS 605: Compliant
- Resistance to hot alkalines according to NFD 14507:2012: Compliant
Base materials / Ancillary materials
Vitreous China ceramic sanitaryware is primarily
made of raw materials such as clay, feldspar, kaolin
and quartz, which are all naturally occurring materials.
Products do not contain any substances that can be
included in “Candidate List of Substances of Very
High Concern for Authorisation” and raw materials
used are not part of the EU REACH regulation.
Ceramic sanitaryware products have a long life and
can be disposed of in inert landfill sites at the end of
their useful life.
Reference service life
This EPD is relevant to cradle to factory gate and
therefore no reference to useful life is required.
- Resistance to acids according to NFD 14508:2012: Compliant
LCA: Calculation rules
Declared unit
The declared unit is 1 tonne of Vitreous China ceramic sanitaryware products with weights ranging
from 8 to 29kg averaging at 15kg.
System boundary
This is a cradle to gate EPD. The system boundary
involves raw materials (A1), transport (A2), manufacturing (A3) and disposal (C4). ‘Raw materials’
includes pre-treatment before production such as
casting slip, plaster mould and glaze preparations.
Manufacturing stages start with slip casting (forming), drying, glazing, firing, quality control and
packaging.
ing context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account.
This EPD is comparable with fine fire clay ceramic
sanitaryware that comply with the PCR document
Part B: Sanitary ceramics and evaluated according
to prEN 15804.
The flow of the process is depicted below:
Transport is only relevant for delivery of raw materials to the plant and forklift usage within the factory.
Sanitaryware production waste is inert waste, which
is stored on site then disposed of in landfills according to current legislation.
Packaging is assumed to end up at packaging recycling streams and plaster mould and product
discards ends up at C&D related waste. The flow of
the process is depicted on the right.
Comparability
Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared
were created according to EN 15804 and the build-
