BS 8580-1:2019 Water quality. Risk assessments for Legionella control (Published 2010, updated 2019)
BS 8580 1 acts as a code of practice with recommendations and guidance for assessing the risk of Legionnaire's disease associated
BS 8580-1 with man-made water systems. Recently updated to ensure it aligns with HSG 274 among other Legionella guidance documents.

BS 8580-2:2022 Water quality. Risk assessments for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other waterborne pathogens (2022)
BS 8580 2 provides detailed guidance on assessing the risks posed by P. aeruginosa in healthcare settings, and the implications
BS 8580-2
for duty holders, responsible persons and the Water Safety Group.

ECAU/EChAU classification for mixers:
There are 4 basic characteristics and the letters E A U have the following meaning:
- flow rate (E);
- sound (A - acoustics);
- endurance (U);
- withstanding stress of alternated pressure from the ceramic cartridges.
The C or Ch characteristics (like comfort, water savings and energy) correspond to the parameters of the products (dimensions, effort
to control and water-saving system).
The C characteristic refers to the domestic sector whilst Ch refers to public and commercial places (Care homes, non-medicalised retirement
homes...).

The modalities of the classification are specified here below:
for mechanical mixers for thermostatic mixers
E 00 4 lpm ≤ Q < 6 lpm 4 lpm ≤ Q < 6 lpm
E 0 9 lpm ≤ Q < 12 lpm 9 lpm ≤ Q < 12 lpm
Q E 1 12 lpm ≤ Q < 16 lpm 12 lpm ≤ Q < 16 lpm
Flow lpm E 16 lpm ≤ Q < 20 lpm 16 lpm ≤ Q < 20 lpm

under 3 bar E 3 20 lpm ≤ Q < 25.2 lpm 20 lpm ≤ Q < 25 lpm
E 4 Q < 25.2 lpm Q < 25 lpm
