| 1 | Supplier File 01 | Vitreous china countertop basin with single tap hole | Verify certificate Confirm ISO 9001:2015 certificate validity, certification scope, issuing body, and manufacturing-site address. | Model verification Request a current cUPC listing if the basin is sold as a certified plumbing fixture in North America. Confirm that the exact model is covered. | Usually not applicable A standalone ceramic basin normally has no CE marking requirement. Recheck if supplied with electrical, lighting, heating, or electronic components. | Basin has no flow rate Check the supplied faucet, aerator, or drain-set specification separately. WaterSense applies to eligible faucets, not to the ceramic basin itself. | Request dimensional inspection records, glaze inspection, drain-hole position checks, packaging tests, and ceramic water-absorption results such as ASTM C373 where applicable. |
| 2 | Supplier File 02 | Undermount ceramic lavatory basin | Document review Match the certificate legal entity and site address with the export factory and quality-control location. | North America check Confirm compliance listing under applicable ASME A112.19.2/CSA B45.1 requirements when certification is requested by the buyer or authority. | EU market review For a ceramic basin, review applicable EU product-safety, chemical, and packaging obligations rather than assuming CE is required. | Verify that the tap and flow-control parts meet the destination-market flow limit. For a U.S. bathroom faucet, a WaterSense-labeled model is generally limited to 1.5 gallons per minute. | Check template fit, overflow compatibility, basin deformation, surface pinholes, edge flatness, load handling, carton drop testing, and pre-shipment inspection records. |
| 3 | Supplier File 03 | Wall-hung rectangular ceramic wash basin | Scope required Verify that design, production, inspection, and corrective-action processes are included within the ISO 9001 scope. | Do not accept logo only Request the certificate or listing number, model schedule, and installation instructions supporting the exact basin configuration. | Product-specific CE should only be claimed where a relevant EU harmonised-law requirement applies, such as an incorporated electrical component. | Confirm that the basin does not include an unverified flow-control device. Evaluate the faucet package separately against local water-efficiency rules. | Request wall-fixing load test results, mounting-hole tolerance records, overflow and waste compatibility checks, glaze adhesion inspection, and final AQL inspection reports. |
| 4 | Supplier File 04 | Thin-edge above-counter basin with overflow | Validity check Confirm certificate expiry date, audit status, product category, and whether subcontracted processes are controlled. | Certification scope Verify whether cUPC coverage includes the basin, overflow design, waste connection, and installation method being quoted. | No automatic CE claim Do not treat CE as a general quality mark. Request a written regulatory assessment for the destination market. | Record the faucet flow rate in litres per minute and gallons per minute where relevant. Do not assign a water-use rating to the basin alone. | Check rim flatness, overflow performance, drain compatibility, glaze color consistency, thermal-shock resistance where specified, and protective packaging performance. |
| 5 | Supplier File 05 | Freestanding vanity basin integrated with a cabinet | Multi-process review Check whether ISO 9001 scope covers both ceramic production and cabinet assembly when sold as one finished vanity unit. | Component separation Confirm whether certification applies to the complete assembly or only to selected plumbing components. | Electrical option review If the cabinet includes lighting, sockets, sensors, or switches, request the applicable EU conformity documentation for those parts. | Inspect faucet, cartridge, aerator, and any water-saving device as separate components. Confirm local requirements for the country of import. | Request cabinet moisture-resistance data, basin-to-cabinet fit records, door and drawer-cycle tests, carton compression tests, and complete-unit final inspection reports. |
| 6 | Supplier File 06 | Large double-bowl vanity basin | Factory-site match Ensure the audited manufacturing site is the same site producing the quoted double-bowl models. | Exact model evidence Review certification listings for bowl dimensions, overflow configuration, drain openings, and installation instructions. | Destination assessment For European sales, verify applicable sanitary-product and chemical requirements; CE is not automatically required for ceramic sanitaryware. | Measure the supplied faucet or mixer flow independently. A larger basin capacity does not mean higher regulated water consumption. | Check bowl-level consistency, drain alignment, overflow discharge, structural support, dimensional tolerances, surface finish, and independent laboratory reports when required. |
| 7 | Supplier File 07 | Compact corner basin for small bathrooms | Supplier qualification Verify current ISO 9001 documentation and review recent nonconformity and corrective-action records. | Plumbing listing Request evidence that the compact model and its mounting hardware are included in the applicable North American certification scope. | Marking control Reject unsupported CE marks. Request a conformity assessment only when an applicable EU directive or regulation requires it. | Review the faucet or tap specification for flow rate, aerator type, and replacement availability. Confirm compatibility with the destination plumbing system. | Inspect corner-angle accuracy, mounting-hole position, drain clearance, wall-support requirements, glaze defects, barcode traceability, and carton drop-test results. |
| 8 | Supplier File 08 | Matte-finish ceramic basin with colored glaze | Process control Check whether color formulation, glaze preparation, firing, and final inspection are controlled under the quality system. | Finish coverage Confirm that the listed model and finish, not only a similar white-glazed model, are covered by the requested certification. | Chemical compliance Request destination-market declarations or test reports for restricted substances where applicable; do not use CE as a substitute. | Water use depends on connected fittings. Request flow-rate data for the faucet package and verify any required national or regional label. | Request stain resistance, chemical resistance, cleanability, color consistency, glaze adhesion, scratch assessment, water-absorption, and batch-traceability records. |
| 9 | Supplier File 09 | Accessible-height vanity basin with rear waste position | Design-to-production check Verify that approved drawings, accessibility dimensions, production controls, and change management are documented. | Installation compliance Check certification and installation instructions for waste, overflow, clearances, and support requirements applicable to the target market. | Regulatory review Assess accessibility, building-code, and product-safety requirements separately from CE marking. | Verify faucet handle type, flow rate, temperature-control features, and any sensor-faucet electrical documentation as separate purchase items. | Request dimensional inspection against approved accessibility drawings, support-load testing, overflow testing, edge-safety inspection, and installation-site mock-up records. |
| 10 | Supplier File 10 | Custom-size hotel and commercial vanity basin | Project-scope review Confirm that custom engineering, tooling, sample approval, production, and final inspection are managed within the certified system. | Commercial-use check Verify whether the custom model can be covered by applicable cUPC requirements before mass production; obtain written confirmation. | Market-specific Request a documented EU conformity assessment only for product features governed by applicable CE legislation. | Specify faucet, mixer, sensor, and flow-control requirements in the purchase contract. Test the complete water-delivery assembly, not the basin alone. | Use approved drawings, first-article inspection, dimensional reports, batch sampling, water-absorption testing, functional overflow testing, packing validation, and pre-shipment AQL inspection. |
