In February 2026, YOROOW faucet factory in Nan’an City, Fujian Province, officially obtained GPSR product safety certification (test report number: CTG2602068052B-SR393AF) for its 9014A-021A, 9014A-616A2, 9095A-180A, and 9084A models of single-cold-water basin faucets after rigorous review by a third-party authoritative organization.
This certification not only reflects the high standards of safety, durability, and environmental performance of the faucets but also stems from the actual usage needs of customers in the South American market. In 2025, a Colombian wholesaler customer reported that the high humidity and high salt spray environment of their coastal city made faucets prone to corrosion, placing higher demands on the durability and long-term performance of the faucets. In response to this feedback, YOROOW optimized the selection of faucet materials, surface electroplating process, and internal flow channel design, and conducted full-process testing and certification according to EU standards.
Obtaining GPSR certification means that YOROOW faucets not only comply with mandatory EU safety regulations, but also provide reliable faucet product assurance for engineering projects, hotels, apartments, and commercial buildings in similar climatic conditions in South America.
I. GPSR Certification: A Key Compliance Standard for Entering the EU Market
GPSR is a mandatory EU safety regulation for non-food consumer products, covering the entire product lifecycle. YOROOW certified faucets have passed five core standard tests:
EN 200:2023: General technical specification for single-channel and combination faucets for sanitary equipment, ensuring the faucet’s nominal pressure, dimensional fit, and basic functional reliability.
EN 14804:2005: Limits and test methods for lead release from metal components of drinking water equipment, strictly controlling heavy metal release and protecting drinking water safety.
EN ISO 3822-4:2018: Acoustic measurement of buildings and components—Part 4, testing for water flow noise in bathroom fixtures, optimizing for a quieter experience.
EN ISO 9227:2017: Salt spray test for metals and alloys, verifying the corrosion resistance of faucets in humid environments and extending their service life.
EN 13000:2010: Mechanical safety requirements for hardware and bathroom fixtures, assessing valve body strength, installation stability, and service life.
These rigorous tests ensure that each faucet model meets high standards in terms of valve body strength, sealing performance, handle durability, and corrosion resistance.
II. High-standard manufacturing process, providing reliable assurance for the South American market.
To meet the stringent EU regulations and the actual needs of the high-humidity, high-salt environment of the South American coast, YOROOW implements a systematic quality control process in production:
Material Safety
The faucet body is made of low-lead copper alloy and equipped with food-contact grade sealing components. The faucet has passed EN 14804 lead release testing, ensuring that lead leaching during long-term use is far below EU limits, effectively protecting drinking water safety, and suitable for residential, apartment, hotel, and commercial spaces.
Corrosion Resistance and Durability
Verified by EN ISO 9227 salt spray test, the electroplated coating on the faucet surface possesses excellent corrosion resistance, maintaining stable appearance and performance even in humid environments or under long-term use, making it suitable for the high humidity environments common in South America.
Comfortable and Quiet Experience
Through optimized internal flow channel structure and valve core design, and passing EN ISO 3822-4 acoustic testing, water flow noise is effectively reduced, enabling the faucet to meet the needs of hotels, residences, and office spaces for a quiet water environment.
Structural Safety and Service Life
The faucet’s valve body strength, sealing performance, and service life have all passed tests according to standards such as EN 200 and EN 13000, ensuring structural stability and reliable sealing during long-term use, reducing leakage and maintenance issues, making it particularly suitable for engineering projects and long-term use scenarios.
Through rigorous manufacturing standards and testing processes, YOROOW faucets not only comply with EU safety regulations but also provide engineering projects, building developers, and bathroom fixture distributors in South America with a stable and reliable faucet option.
III. Cooperation Opportunities and Future Development in the South American Market
GPSR certification not only enhances the compliance qualifications of faucets in the EU-27 market, but also strengthens the confidence of South American importers, building material distributors, and project clients in the quality and safety of faucets.
With the rapid development of urban construction, hotels, apartments, and commercial projects in South America, the demand for high-quality bathroom products continues to grow. YOROOW will continue to:
Improve faucet durability, water-saving performance, and user experience
Provide a stable supply and a diverse selection of faucet products
Support clients in procurement and project implementation in residential developments, hotel projects, and building material distribution channels
In the future, YOROOW will continue to advance faucet R&D and international certification, providing more reliable bathroom solutions for partners in the South American market through faucet products that meet international standards.
