Full title and description

GOST 30493-2017 — "Изделия санитарные керамические. Классификация и основные размеры" (English: "Ceramic sanitary ware. Types and principal dimensions"). The standard specifies classification, main types and principal overall dimensions for ceramic sanitary ware intended for installation in sanitary rooms of buildings (washbasins, pedestals, toilets, cisterns, bidets, urinals) and includes illustrative elements in an informative annex.

Abstract

GOST 30493-2017 establishes the accepted types and principal dimensions for ceramic sanitary-ware products (porcelain, semi-porcelain and faience), sets normative references to test and technical-condition standards, and provides illustrative elements of main products in an annex. It replaces the earlier edition (GOST 30493-96) and was introduced to unify dimensional and classification requirements for manufacturers, designers and regulators.

Scope

The standard applies to ceramic sanitary ware (porcelain, semi-porcelain and faience) intended for installation in sanitary rooms of buildings of various purposes. It specifies types and principal overall dimensions for products such as washbasins, pedestals, toilets, flushing cisterns, bidets and urinals, and allows manufacture of other sizes/types by approved working drawings. Normative references include related test methods and general technical conditions standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of ceramic sanitary-ware by type (washbasins, toilets, bidets, urinals, cisterns, pedestals) and subtypes.
• Principal overall dimensions and dimensional references for mounting and interchangeability.
• Illustrative elements and key feature callouts provided in an informative annex (elements of main products).
• Normative references to methods of testing and general technical requirements (for example, referenced GOSTs for test methods and technical conditions).
• Provision for manufacture of additional sizes/types based on approved working drawings and tolerances as applicable.

Typical use and users

Primary users include ceramic sanitary-ware manufacturers, product designers and engineers, architectural and MEP designers, building regulators and inspection bodies, product certification and quality-control laboratories, and procurement/specification teams for construction projects. The standard is used to ensure dimensional compatibility, interchangeability and compliance with regional regulatory expectations.

Related standards

Relevant normative references and related standards include the earlier GOST 30493-96 (replaced), GOST 13449 (methods of testing for sanitary ceramic ware), GOST 15167 (general technical conditions for sanitary ceramic ware), GOST 21485 and other referenced documents that govern testing, materials and technical conditions. The standard itself is scheduled to be superseded by GOST 30493-2025 (effective 01 June 2026).
