25.788(a) Installation of Showers
ED Decision 2017/015/R
The following should be considered in the design of a shower
installation:
(a) An
analysis should be performed to identify possible failures leading to water
leakage, and to show that appropriate mitigation features have been included
in the design.
(b) The
shower cubicle should be considered as a passenger compartment in terms of the
need for ventilation. The applicant should justify that adequate ventilation
is provided within the shower. The cabin air itself can be considered as a
‘fresh air’ source for the air supply of the shower.
(c) The
shower cubicle air outflow should be directed into aeroplane areas that will
not be adversely affected by the high water content of this air flow.
(d) A means
to steady oneself could be either (a) firm handhold(s) specifically designed
and provided for the purpose or an intrinsic design feature of the cubicle.
For instance, if one or more of the cubicle wall-to-wall dimensions does not
exceed 1 metre (3.3 feet), it may be assumed that an occupant can steady
himself/herself by placing his/her hands on opposite wall surfaces.
(e) If
electrical power outlets are installed in the room or area where the shower is
present, all the following requirements should be fulfilled:
(i) the
shower cubicle should be enclosed up to the ceiling;
(ii) there
should be no electrical power outlet inside the shower cubicle; and
(iii) no
power outlet should be placed closer than 0,6m from any point on the surface
of the closed shower door.
[Amdt 25/19]
EASA aircraft shower installation requires leakage prevention, adequate ventilation directing moist air safely, and steadying features for occupants. Electrical outlets must be safely positioned outside enclosed shower cubicles, maintaining a minimum distance from the door to prevent hazards. Safety is paramount in aircraft shower design.
