These tests are carried out by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuvsud.com\/en\">T\u00dcV SUD<\/a> certification body in Italy. Shower enclosures must meet certain safety standards to ensure that users are protected from injury during use.<\/p>\n<p>This includes ensuring they are safe to use in an emergency and pose no risk to children or adults who might accidentally fall inside. A <strong>quality shower enclosure<\/strong> must then satisfy various quality standards, including: resistance to wear, cleanability, durability. A Relax shower cubicle must therefore be: <strong>safe, functional, of quality<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22156&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-14&#8243;]Salt spray test[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"how-does-it-work\">How does it work?<\/h2>\n<p>A T\u00dcV certificate is issued by the German Technical Inspection Association (T\u00dcV) after thorough and extensive product testing. The T\u00dcV certifying body tests the product according to its own requirements and those established by other international organizations such as the European Union, always guaranteeing <strong>the highest quality standard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is the strength of Relax in always proposing a quality shower enclosure that can meet different needs. But what are the tests that are carried out on Relax shower enclosures?[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Resistance and fatigue<\/strong>: the doors are required to exceed 20,000 opening and closing cycles through a simulation that quantifies approximately 13 years of prolonged use for a family of 4 people. But how exactly does it work? In a controlled laboratory, the door, which must be opened and closed for the total number of times necessary to pass the test, is placed on an electrically powered machine which proceeds to open and close the door, all until the cycles are finished .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stability<\/strong>: indicates the resistance of the glass to a 45 kg body dropped on it. The test simulates falling in the shower and the response of the materials to such stress. The simulation is obtained with a bag weighing 45 kg dropped on the glass by force of gravity. An example video:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/734764894&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Water retention<\/strong>: guarantees the tightness of the shower enclosure against water leakage during normal use. To obtain this specific certification, the T\u00dcV technicians take care of pointing the hand shower towards the critical points of the shower enclosure, to verify its water tightness. Below an example video:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/642745078&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text el_id=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Salt spray:<\/strong> this is one of the most important tests, as it certifies the durability of the materials. It consists in inserting the aluminum profiles in a special containing chamber with a saline fog solution which acts on the materials continuously for a long time. The Relax shower enclosures are therefore certified by a fog that simulates the effect of significant corrosion, the result of years and years of use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/734769945&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"quality-shower-enclosure-how-to-recognize-it\">Quality shower enclosure: how to recognize it?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>All <strong>Relax shower enclosures<\/strong> are <strong>distinguished by the CE marking<\/strong>, a symbol which certifies and guarantees compliance with all relevant European requirements.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>quality shower enclosure is guaranteed for many years<\/strong> after purchase: Relax guarantees a full 7 years for the duration of the materials against corrosion.<\/li>\n<li>From the <strong>tempered&#8221; acronym on the glass<\/strong>: a quality shower cubicle also stands out for the <strong>safety<\/strong> that only tempered glass can provide.

All <strong>Relax quality shower enclosures<\/strong> have a T\u00dcV logo on the original packing box. Look for it to make sure that yours too is a certified quality shower enclosure.<\/p>\n<p>A shower enclosure also proves its quality in <strong>after-purchase customer service<\/strong>. Relax has an assistance service available 6 days a week, which includes: free advice, direct support for measuring measurements and assembly, and after-sales service.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-5&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"conclusions\">Conclusions<\/h2>\n<p>Relax ensures <strong>quality, certified and completely Made in Italy shower enclosures<\/strong>, worked by the best professionals in the sector and created from the best raw materials.
