5.1.1 General:

The enameled surface of each fixture shall be acid resisting enamel, thoroughly
fused to cast iron base. Except on slip-resistant surfaces, the enamel shall be
glossy. It shall be of uniform color and free from flaws that affects the
appearance or may affect the serviceability of the fixtures.

5.1.2 Specular Gloss and Reflectance

The enameled surface, visible after installation, shall be glossy to the extent that
it will have a 45 specular gloss when tested in accordance with clause 9.3. If
white, the reflectance of the cover coat shall not be less than 72% when
determined in accordance with clause 9.4. Blemishes shall be limited in
accordance with the method of inspection specified in clause 8.1.

5.1.3 Enameling and Other Treatment

The thickness of enamel, as measured on a flat surface at least 25.4mm from any
edge, shall not be less than 0.64mm. Prior to enameling, the surface to be
enameled shall be treated with epoxy type filler required to fill the voids, and
then the entire surface shall be coated with base enamel fused to the metal. Any
rework process after enameling, which exposes base metal surfaces, shall be
factory treated with rust inhibitor.

5.1.4 Acid Resistance

The enamel shall be acid resisting throughout the entire thickness of the enamel
coating and shall meet the Class A requirement of ASTM C282 when tested in
accordance with clause 9.2 of this standard.

The fixtures shall be visually examined about 610 mm from the surface observed. The light
source shall be partially diffused daylight or substantially equivalent artificial light with
luminous intensity near the inspection surface of not less than 1076 lux nor greater than 2152
lux. No actual count or measure of blemishes should be attempted except in case of doubt since,

waviness in an enameled surface is unavoidable and is not cause for rejection; other
imperfections shall be limited to the allowable blemishes as tabulated below:

Table 1: Allowable Blemishes

Size or Appearance Max. No. Allowed Max. No. Allowed

Description Inspection Window Per Fixture
Small,
0.25 - 0.40 mm 4 Not to be counted
Specks Medium,

9.0 TESTING

Method of Tests shall be in accordance with ASME A112.19.1M and in any case, test certificate
may be required by SEC for confirmation. Test shall be made for the following:

9.1 Warpage Test

To test the fixture, it shall be placed on a flat surface so as to ascertain the amount of
deviation from the horizontal plane that exists at the edges of the fixture. If a feeler gage
of thickness equal to the total allowable warpage will not slide under the fixture, without
it being forced then the fixture satisfactorily comes within the warpage limits. If the
fixture will rock on two opposite corners, the horizontal plane shall be determined by
placing one feeler gage of the total allowable warpage under a corner that does not
contact the flat surface and holding the fixture firmly on this gage. If the second feeler
gage of the same thickness will not slide under the fixture at any other point, the fixture
is not warped out of the horizontal plane by more than the specified tolerance and
satisfactorily comes within the warpage limits.

9.2 Acid (Citric) Resistance Test

A fresh test solution of one (1) part citric acid crystals to 10 (ten) parts water by weight
shall be applied to the surface of the enamel for 15 (fifteen) minutes, at the end of which
period, after washing and drying, the enamel shall meet the requirements as set forth in
clause 5.1.4. The water and acid solution shall have been stored for not less than 3
(three) hours immediately preceding the tests in an atmosphere of 26.67C 3.33C. The
test shall be applied to clean areas, in pools consisting or several drops, and covered with
a watch glass to hold the solution in place.

9.3 Specular Gloss

The specular gloss shall be determined in accordance with ASTM C 346. Variations
commercially acceptable are not cause for rejection.

75TMSS03R0/FAM Date of Approval: July 17, 2007 PAGE NO. 10 OF 21

TRANSMISSION MATERIALS STANDARD SPECIFICATION 75-TMSS-03, Rev. 0

9.4 Reflectance

White enameled cast iron fixtures shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E 1347.
Variations commercially acceptable are not cause for rejection.

9.5 Lavatory Overflow Test

The lavatory shall be installed in a stand with standard mechanical waste fitting. The
waste outlet shall be closed and the rate of water supply adjusted to 0.19 liter/sec. The
elapsed time, on the onset of water flowing into the overflow opening until the water
begins to overflow the flood level, shall be measured and shall not be less than 5 (five)
minutes.

10.0 PRODUCT MARKING

10.1 Permanent Marking

Each fixture shall be marked with the manufacturer's name or registered trademark. This
mark shall be legible, readily identified and applied so as to be permanent. Marking
shall be applied to the underside of sinks and lavatories in such a manner that the
identification can be viewed when the cabinet door is opened. On shower trays, marking
shall be placed in such a position that they can be readily seen after installation.

10.2 Label

Each packaging shall be factory-marked in accordance with ASME A112.19.1M to

signify compliance with this standard.
