Load Bearing Test for Sanitaryware Products

Load Bearing Test

This test is done to check if the sanitaryware product can withstand the real world's harsh pressure by the user. We do this to make sure the toilet or the sanitaryware product can handle heavy weight without breaking or getting damaged, so it is safe and reliable when people are using it. Each country has its own regulatory body to govern this and sets standard weight for this testing. So the product has to pass this load test to get certified.

How to Do the Test

First, the toilet is fixed or mounted properly on the floor or wall using the right screws so it mimics the actual real-world installation. Then a 400 kg load is applied on the toilet gradually by mechanical or pneumatic and let it sit for one full hour.

What to Check and How It Passes

Once the one hour is done, check the toilet carefully to see if there is any crack, damage, or any kind of structural problem. If the toilet is still fine and nothing has broken or shifted, then it passes the test. If any damage is seen, then it fails.

This test is very important because it tells us whether the product can handle heavy use over a long time and whether it meets the required quality and safety standards.
