The fittings to be installed in public toilets should be of heavy-duty quality and if possible, vandalproof. Careful design and proper choice of material will mean less breakdown of sanitary fittings in public toilets. The Code of Practice is intended to advise Architects, Professional Engineers, Registered Plumbers and Developers on the design and provision of facilities and fittings for public toilets. It is supplemental to the Sanitary Plumbing and Drainage System Regulations, 1976, which shall be complied with. Existing public toilets that are renovated or repaired will also have to comply with the requirements under this Code of Practice. General amendments and revisions are expected from time to time. Any major changes will be made known to the Professional bodies for Architects and Engineers and the Singapore Sanitary Plumbing Association. Commissioner of Public Health Ministry of the Environment SingaporeCONTENTS INTRODUCTION PART 1 PART 2: THE PUBLIC TOILET 1. Definition 2. Design Principle 3. Toilet Floor 4. Walls And Partitions 5.

Flushing Cistern and Flush Pipe REFERENCES PagePART 1 THE PUBLIC TOILETTHE PUBLIC TOILET WwW A public toilet is any toilet to which the public has access, whether or not admission is gained by payment. Design Principle 24 2.2 23 24 25 26 A public toilet should have a clean, well ventilated and hygienic environment. It should be designed such that cleanliness can be readily achieved. The sanitary system should not only fulfil basic hygiene needs but shall also be suitably designed to meet the type of usage encountered in public toilets. Facilities have to be more durable than those in private homes. All sanitary appliances and fittings shall be of heavy duty quality and of robust construction to withstand heavy usage including an inevitable degree of abuse. To overcome the perennial problem of unflushed sanitary appliances in busy public toilets, the flushing after each use shall be automated to ensure that the sanitary appliances are kept clean at all times in these toilets. To minimise vandalism and improve the aesthetics of the toilets, only the parts of the appliance at the point of dispensing, activation or discharge shall be assessible to the user. Mechanisms, pipework, supports, storage compartments and other serviceable parts shall be concealed. Sanitary appliances shall be provided in sufficient numbers. Consideration should also be given for some to be used by children and the handicapped. All toilets which fall within the definition of a public toilet shall comply with the requirements in the Code of Practice. Toilet Floor 3.1 3.2 The floor of a public toilet shall be lined with suitable heavy-duty tiling material. Non-skid homogeneous, ceramic and quarry tiles are preferred. Other flooring material may also be used when approved by the Commissioner. The floor shall be graded towards a channel or floor trap to drain off any water effectively. The minimum floor gradient shall be 1 in 200. Where a channel is provided, it shall be graded at 1 in 80 to a floor trap. Gratings to floor traps shall be in plastic, stainless steel! or chrome plated steel of robust construction.4 Walls And Pai ions 4.1. The internal walls shall he lined with glazed tiles. Thoy should preferably be fully lined. Otherwise a minimum height of 2.2 m shall be lined. 4.2 The internal partitions shall be fully lined with glazed tiles if con- structed of brick walls. Where other materials are used, they should be sufficiently strong and stable to resist a high degree of abuse. Surfaces including doors shall be surface treated against growth of fungus and should not be easily marked by writing instruments. 5 Ventilation 5.1 Public toilets shall be provided with mechanical ventilation. Natural ventilation to the external air will only be used where the layout permits good circulation or a thru-flow of air. 5.2 If natural ventilation is used, openings equivalent to a minimum of 10% of the toilet floor area shall be provided for each of 2 opposite walls. Ceiling or wall fans shall be provided to aid circulation of ai 5.3 The provision of mechanical ventilation shall comply with Part IV, Division 9 - Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation of The Building Control Regulations, 1989. 6 Sanitary Appliances 6.1 All sanitary appliances and fittings for public toilets shall be of heavy duty classification and quality. Appliances of this classification will progressively be listed in the Sewerage Department's ‘Approved Products For Sanitary And Sewerage Works’. The quality of appliances under this classification shall comply with the respective requirements elaborated in Part 2 of this Code of Practice. 6.2 Automatic flushing devices shall be used for water closets and urinals in busy public toilets and those which experience periods of heavy usage such as those in shopping complexes, eating establishments and cinemas. The automatic flushing device shall meet the requirements stated in Part 2 of this Code of Practice. 6.3 Water closets and urinals in all other public toilets shall be operated by manual flush valves. Only where it is not technically feasible and waiver has been granted by the Sewerage Department, will the use of flushing cisterns be allowed. The flushing cisterns shall be of heavy duty classification. 6.4 The connection of sanitary appliances to sewerage system shall comply with the Code of Practice on Sanitary Plumbing And Drainage System. All plumbing connections, traps and pipeworks shall be consealed where possible. Where pipes are exposed, including sparge pipes for urinals, they shall be of rigid and non-corrodible material such as stainless steel. Plastic pipework shall not be used.65 66 To minimise vandalism, a bottle trap for the wash basin may be omitted if the waste pipe is connected to a floor or gully trap. All mountings, supports, brackets and hinges for fixing sanitary appliances shall be of robust construction. They should be designed to take in excess of the normal loading, Extra loadings are specified in Part 2 of this Code of Practice for the respective appliances. Adequate Provision Of Appliances 7 7.2 73 74 18 16 The number of toilet appliances shall be provided in accordance with the Sanitary Facilities requirements in the Code of Practice on Environmental Health. In addition to the appliances addressed in 7.1, the following appliances shall be provided in the proportion as stated: Appliances Quantity {a) Soap dispenser One for every two wash hand basin subject to a minimum of one. (b} Hand-dryer blower Minimum of one. or towel dispenser (c) Litter Minimum of one. (d) Toilet paper holder | Minimum of one in each water closet compartment. Water closets shall be provided with squatting-type and pedestal- type water closet pans in a ratio that will be considered on a project- by-project basis. As a guide, at least 20% of the water closets in every public toilet block shall have squatting-type water closet pans. Water closets with squatting-type water closet pans shall be provided with raised foot rests. A self closing delayed action tap shall be provided in the innermost wall of at least one of the squatting water closet compartment. This compartment shall be recessed 25 mm below the surrounding floor or enclosed by a kerb which shall be not less than 25 mm in height and not less than 50 mm in width. Where more than 2 water closets are provided, at least one should be designed for use by the handicapped. Where more than 2 walt hung urinals are provided, at least one should be installed at children's height.PART 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES IN PUBLIC TOILETS FOOTNOTE: The following specification sets a minimum standard for sanitary appliances to be used in public toilets. It is not exhaustive and is intended to serve as a guideline for appliances to meet the type of usage encountered in public toilets. It will be used as a basis for the heavy-duty classification of suitable sanitary appliances until particular heavy-duty standards are available for these appliances.SPECIFICATIONS FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES IN PUBLIC TOILETS 1 General Sanitary Appliances Specification 1.1.
