One quality characteristic of water fixtures is their service life. To ensure a long useful life, the fixtures are subjected to durability testing at the North Rhine-Westphalia Materials Testing Office (MPA NRW). In mechanical tests, the MPA NRW investigates water fixtures with regard to their durability and seal-tightness, the mixing ratio of hot and cold water, and other technical requirements. This includes a number of flow rate specifications and a defined minimum adjustment range for temperature control. The tests for single-handle mixers last almost five weeks, and the MPA NRW was looking for an automated solution.
