GOST 22847-85 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 22847-85 — "Унитазы керамические. Технические условия" (English: "Ceramic toilet pans. Specifications"). The standard specifies technical requirements for ceramic toilet pans (porcelain, semi-porcelain and faience) intended for installation in sanitary compartments and residential and service premises, including installations for railway carriages.

Abstract

This national standard (USSR GOST series, 1985) defines types, principal dimensions, technical requirements, acceptance rules, test methods, marking, packing, transportation and storage, and manufacturer’s guarantees for ceramic toilet pans. It sets quality and testing criteria to ensure fit-for-purpose sanitary ceramic products for buildings and transport.

General information

• Status: Replaced / superseded (withdrawn from active use and covered by a later interstate standard).
• Publication date: Approved 30 August 1985; introduced into force 1 January 1986 (document designation ends in -85).
• Publisher: Approved by USSR authorities (Gosstroy/Gosstandart era); published by the Publishing House of Standards (Издательство стандартов).
• ICS / categories: Construction — Installations in buildings; sanitary-technical equipment (OKS/ICS grouping equivalent to 91.140.70 — sanitary-technical equipment).
• Edition / version: Original 1985 edition — GOST 22847-85 (replacing earlier GOST 22847-77).
• Number of pages: Approximately 14 pages (typical PDF/printed text length).

Scope

The standard applies to ceramic toilet pans (porcelain, semi-porcelain and faience) used in sanitary rooms of buildings of various purposes and in sanitary compartments of railway cars. It covers product types and main dimensions, technical and performance requirements, sampling and acceptance procedures, methods of testing (mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance where applicable), and requirements for marking, packaging, storage and transport.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of types and principal dimensions for toilet pans (dimensional families and mounting interfaces).
• Material and surface requirements for porcelain, semi-porcelain and faience (including glaze quality and finish).
• Mechanical strength and durability requirements and methods for load and impact testing.
• Chemical and thermal resistance criteria for glazes and bodies (referencing related test standards).
• Acceptance sampling plans, inspection rules and permissible defect rates for batches.
• Requirements for completeness, marking, packaging, transportation and storage to prevent damage and ensure traceability.
• Manufacturer’s guarantees and procedures for periodic and type testing.

Typical use and users

Primary users include manufacturers of sanitary ceramic ware, quality assurance and testing laboratories, product designers and specifiers in building services and sanitary engineering, procurement officers for construction and rolling-stock interiors, building inspectors and regulatory authorities, and facility maintenance teams specifying replacement or spare parts for toilets in buildings and railway vehicles.

Related standards

GOST 22847-85 is associated with other sanitary-ceramic and testing standards. It was later incorporated into broader interstate standards (for example, replaced by GOST 30493-96 "Ceramic sanitary ware — Types and principal dimensions"). Related documents include standards on glazing and material resistance (e.g., GOST 15167‑85) and referenced testing procedures (e.g., GOST 13449‑82), as well as earlier/later GOSTs covering washbasins, cisterns and urinals.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 22847-85 is a Soviet-era national standard titled "Унитазы керамические. Технические условия" (Ceramic toilet pans. Specifications) that established technical and quality requirements for ceramic toilet pans.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product types and main dimensions, technical requirements for body and glaze, mechanical and chemical resistance, acceptance and sampling procedures, test methods, marking, packing, transportation, storage and manufacturer’s guarantees for ceramic toilets.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of sanitary ceramics, test laboratories, architects and engineers specifying sanitary equipment, procurement/specification teams in construction and railcar interiors, and regulatory or inspection bodies.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: It has been superseded — GOST 22847-85 was replaced by later interstate/national standards (notably GOST 30493-96), and is no longer the active normative document for sanitary ceramic types and dimensions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the family of sanitary-ceramic and building equipment GOSTs (related documents address washbasins, urinals, cisterns, testing procedures and glazing requirements). Over time these were consolidated into broader standards for sanitary ceramic products.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Ceramic toilet pans, toilet bowls, sanitary ceramic ware, porcelain, faience, technical conditions, testing, dimensions, GOST 22847-85, GOST 30493-96.
