Susceptible to scale build-up, and noisy, they encourage the proliferation of bacteria and pose a permanent risk of leaks when used in public and commercial environments.

The "design for all" trend is erasing the boundaries between washrooms designed for people with reduced mobility (PRM) and any other bathroom.

The introduction of this new French regulation for medical environments, means signifcant changes in the design of mechanical, thermostatic and electronic mixers. What are the changes that have been made? Why? And what can we learn?
