What Certifications Are Needed to Import Tile Insert Floor Drains?

Certification Checklist for Tile Insert Floor Drain Imports

When importing tile insert floor drains, the first document to request is the applicable CE certificate for the floor drain. For ODO products, the listed document is the “Floor drain CE AiTSZ-250718038RC09-CE-ROHS” certificate, identified by certificate number AiTSZ-250718038RC09. Before accepting it, confirm that the certificate scope clearly covers the actual tile-insert or invisible floor drain supplied.

The ODO-D114 Invisible Floor Drain Utility Model Patent Certificate, number 16949879, may also be requested as supplementary product and design evidence. However, a patent certificate confirms intellectual property rights and product identity; it does not replace the compliance documentation required for the product.

Documents to Request Before Shipment

• Obtain the floor drain CE certificate and record certificate number AiTSZ-250718038RC09.
• Check that the certificate names the floor drain product rather than another sanitary ware category.
• Ask for model specifications, product drawings, technical data, and purchase-order information that correspond to the goods being shipped.
• Use the ODO-D114 utility patent certificate as supporting evidence only, not as an alternative to CE compliance documentation.

How to Verify the Certificate

The available record describes the applicable product as “ODO CE Floor drain” and indicates markets including Europe, the Middle East, North America, Southeast Asia, and other regions. Because the available information does not identify a separate CE certificate specifically titled for a tile-insert floor drain, the importer should obtain written confirmation from the supplier that the supplied model falls within the scope of AiTSZ-250718038RC09.

During document review, compare the certificate number, certificate title, product category, supplier details, model information, and product description with the purchase order and packing documents. The safest approach is to ensure that the certification record, technical files, product labels, and shipped goods all describe the same floor drain type.

CE Certification Compared with Patent Documentation

The ODO-D114 Invisible Floor Drain Utility Patent Certificate, number 16949879, applies to the ODO-D114 Invisible Floor Drain. It can help buyers verify the product design and establish a connection between the supplier and the named product. Nevertheless, it is an intellectual property document rather than a product safety or conformity certificate.

Buyers should also avoid using certificates issued for other product categories. The listed shower niche CE documents apply to shower niches, while certificate FTS22LC-8881S concerns an ODO heated towel rack under CE-LVD requirements. Neither document should be presented as evidence that a tile insert floor drain complies with applicable requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which certificate is most relevant to an ODO tile insert floor drain?

The directly relevant listed document is the “Floor drain CE AiTSZ-250718038RC09-CE-ROHS” certificate, certificate number AiTSZ-250718038RC09. Its applicable product is recorded as ODO CE Floor drain. Confirm with the supplier that the specific tile insert model is covered.

Can the ODO-D114 patent certificate satisfy import certification requirements?

No. Patent certificate 16949879 can support product identity and design review, but it does not serve as a substitute for the floor drain CE certificate or other applicable conformity documentation.

Final Recommendations
