The shower tray
Let's start by citing the Uni En standard that regulates this sector: Uni En 14527, recently issued in Italian. The document specifies the characteristics that a shower tray must have, but also the test methods for assessing its conformity, tests and tolerances. The standard applies to "domestic shower trays". This term refers to shower trays of any type and surface (i.e. not only ceramic ones) except those used for medical purposes.
The standard also defines, in a rather "crude" way, the shower tray as "that sanitary appliance which collects the water used to wash the human body in a shower and directs it towards a drain".
Not a very poetic definition, but it is quite effective.
