Overview
EN 1916:2002 is a CEN European Standard that specifies performance requirements and test methods for precast concrete pipes and fittings - unreinforced, steel‑fibre and reinforced - with flexible joints. It applies to units used mainly for the conveyance of sewage, rainwater and surface water under gravity or occasionally at low head of pressure in generally buried pipelines. The standard covers nominal circular bores up to DN 3200 and egg‑shaped bores up to WN/HN 1400/2100 and defines joint seal options (integrated or supplied separately).
Key Topics and Technical Requirements
- Material and concrete quality: requirements for concrete materials, water/cement content, chloride limits and water absorption.
- Unit geometry and finish: dimensional and surface finish requirements for precast units.
- Joints and joint seals: definitions and test/calculation methods (Annex A) for flexible joint seals, including hydrostatic and joint assembly tests (Annex E).
- Structural performance:
- Crushing strength test methods and expression of results (Annex C).
- Longitudinal bending moment resistance tests (Annex D).
- Serviceability and durability criteria.
- Special requirements: provisions specific to steel‑fibre concrete, reinforced concrete and jacking pipes (including jacking loads and concrete cover).
- Testing and conformity: initial type testing, factory production control (FPC), further factory sampling and tasks for certification bodies (conformity evaluation).
- Marking: required product identification and traceability information.
Practical Applications
EN 1916:2002 is intended for practical use where reliable, tested precast concrete pipes are required:
- Gravity sewer and stormwater drainage networks
- Surface water conveyance and culverts
- Buried pipeline installations subject to low internal pressure

SIST EN 1916:2003は、無筋、スチールファイバー、及び強化コンクリートパイプと継手に関するヨーロッパ標準であり、その範囲は非常に明確に定義されています。本標準は、テーブル1に示される性能要件を規定し、また、柔軟な接合部を備えたプレキャストコンクリートパイプと継手の試験方法を詳述しています。これらのパイプは、直径がDN 3200までの円形のもので、卵型のものであればWN/HN 1400/2100までの大きさに対応しています。 この標準の強みは、主に下水、雨水、及び表面水の重力による輸送に必要な品質基準を確立している点です。さらに、パイプが一般的に埋められて使用される状況を想定して設計されているため、信頼性と耐久性が求められるインフラストラクチャーにおいて非常に重要な役割を果たしています。 また、接合部の柔軟性やシールに関する要件を持つことにより、施工現場での適応性が向上しています。このように、無筋やスチールファイバー、強化されたコンクリートパイプの基準が明示されていることから、業界の発展にも大きく寄与しています。 全体として、EN 1916:2002は、コンクリートパイプ及び継手の性能、試験方法、及び使用方法にわたる包括的なガイドラインを提供しており、特に公共事業やインフラ関連のプロジェクトにおいて、その重要性が際立っています。この標準を遵守することで、品質管理や安全性の向上が期待できるため、関連する専門家にとって必読の文書となっています。
Die Norm EN 1916:2002 legt klare Leistungsanforderungen für Rohre und Formstücke aus Beton fest, die unarmiert, mit Stahlfasern verstärkt oder vollständig verstärkt sind. Diese europäische Norm ist von erheblichem Interesse für die Bauindustrie, da sie die Anforderungen für die Herstellung und den Einsatz von vorgefertigten Betonrohren und -formstücken mit flexiblen Verbindungen beschreibt. Die Norm behandelt eine breite Palette von Anwendungsbereichen und definiert spezifische Testmethoden, die zur Sicherstellung der Qualität und Sicherheit der Produkte erforderlich sind. Ein hervorstechendes Merkmal dieser Norm ist der umfassende Umfang, der alle Produkte bis zu nominalen Größen von DN 3200 für zylindrische Durchmesser und WN/HN 1400/2100 für eiförmige Durchmesser abdeckt. Die klare Fokussierung auf den Einsatz zur Abwasser- und Regenwasserableitung unter Schwerkraft und gelegentlich bei geringem Druckbeitrag macht diese Norm besonders relevant für Anwendungen, die die ordnungsgemäße Abführung von Flüssigkeiten in begrabenen Rohrsystemen erfordern. Die Stärken der EN 1916:2002 liegen in ihrer detaillierten Spezifikation und den klaren Prüfmethoden, die sicherstellen, dass die Produkte nicht nur den geforderten Standards entsprechen, sondern auch langlebig und zuverlässig sind. Die Norm trägt dazu bei, einen einheitlichen Standard in der Industrie zu schaffen, was zu einer Erhöhung der Qualität und Sicherheit im Bereich der Abwassersysteme führt. Darüber hinaus fördert die Standardisierung durch diese Norm den Wettbewerb unter den Herstellern, da sie klare Richtlinien vorgibt, die sich auf Design, Herstellung und Installation auswirken. Die Relevanz von EN 1916:2002 erstreckt sich über nationale Grenzen hinweg und unterstützt die Harmonisierung der Baupraktiken innerhalb Europas, was insbesondere für grenzüberschreitende Projekte von Bedeutung ist. Diese Norm ist daher ein unverzichtbares Dokument für Fachleute, die in der Konstruktion und Wartung von Abwasserinfrastrukturen tätig sind.
