Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 13476-4:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics
piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This standard is a part of a System Standard for plastics piping systems of particular materials for specified
applications. There are a number of such System Standards.
System Standards are based on the results of the work being undertaken in ISO/TC 138 “Plastics pipes,
fittings and valves for the transport of fluids”, which is a Technical Committee of the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO).
They are supported by separate standards on test methods to which references are made throughout the
System Standard.
The System Standards are consistent with general standards on functional requirements and on
recommended practice for installation.
EN 13476 consists of the following Parts under the general title Plastics piping systems for non-pressure
underground drainage and sewerage — Structured-wall piping systems of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride)
(PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE):
 Part 1: General requirements and performance characteristics;
 Part 2: Specifications for pipes and fittings with smooth internal and external surface and the system,
Type A;
 Part 3: Specifications for pipes and fittings with smooth internal and profiled external surface and the
system, Type B;
 Part 4: Guidance for the assessment of conformity (this Technical Specification);
1)
 Part 5: Guidance for installation (CEN/TS). .
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The feasibility of this project is under study.
Introduction
This Technical Specification gives guidance for the assessment of conformity. It is intended to serve as a
guide for the assessment of conformity of products covered by EN 13476-1, EN 13476-2 and EN 13476-3.
It can be used integrally and/or be used for inclusion of conformity assessment in the manufacturer's quality
plan as part of the quality system for attestation purposes. The use of this Technical Specification does not
presume the involvement of a third party.
It can also be used to support the elaboration of national third party certification procedures for products
conforming to EN 13476-1, EN 13476-2 and EN 13476-3. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to choose,
or not to choose for the involvement of a third party for certification purposes.
