Overview

EN 12050-1:2015 - published by CEN - is the European standard for wastewater lifting plants for buildings and sites specifically for wastewater containing faecal matter (commonly called faecal lifting plants). It defines general requirements, basic construction and testing principles, material guidance and the framework for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP). The standard covers prefabricated units, kit assemblies and systems built from separately sourced components assembled on site. It is intended to prevent backflow of wastewater into buildings where drainage outlets are below flood level.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and applicability: Lifting plants for faecal wastewater used to drain locations below flood level. Note: it does not cover pumping installations for municipal sewer systems outside buildings (see EN 752:2008).
  • Materials and product characteristics: Requirements for tank materials, mechanical resistance, watertightness and odourtightness.
  • Lifting effectiveness: Criteria for discharge connections, ventilating pipe minimum dimensions, minimum flow rates, free ball passage and useful volume for macerating and non‑macerating systems.
  • Control and electrical equipment: Performance and safety expectations for control systems and electrical components.
  • Testing procedures: Includes water pressure tests, odour tightness tests, hot water tests and hydraulic performance tests to verify lifting effectiveness.
  • Durability and reaction to fire: Durability of watertightness, mechanical resistance and lifting performance; reaction to fire classification requirements were added in this edition.
  • Conformity & AVCP: Type testing, factory production control (FPC), DoP and CE marking procedures aligned with the Construction Products Regulation (EU No. 305/2011).
  • Complementary components: Non‑return valve construction and testing are addressed in EN 12050-4.

Applications

  • Drainage of basements, below‑grade toilets, cellars and installations where outlets are below external sewer invert level.
  • New build and retrofit projects requiring reliable faecal wastewater lifting solutions.
  • Use cases include both macerating units and non‑macerating lifting plants; faecal lifting plants may also handle faecal‑free wastewater and surface water where appropriate.

Who should use this standard

  • Manufacturers of prefabricated lifting plants and component suppliers.
  • Designers and consulting engineers specifying drainage solutions for below‑flood‑level locations.
  • Installers and building services contractors assembling kits or site‑built systems.
  • Test laboratories, certification bodies and authorities responsible for AVCP, DoP and CE marking.
  • Facility managers and specifiers seeking compliant, durable, and odour‑tight lifting solutions.

Related standards

  • EN 12050-4 (non‑return valves)
  • EN 12056-1 & EN 12056-4 (internal gravity drainage & layout)
  • EN 12566 series (small wastewater treatment / septic tanks)

Continue the test for a further 20 min, adding a total of three single floor cloths at intervals of 5 min. During a further running period of 10 min without the addition of any further floor cloths, adjust the discharge head to give a flow velocity of 0,7 m/s in the discharge pipe system. Continue for a further 20 min, adding a total of three more single floor cloths at intervals of 5 min. During this test a short reduction in the discharge output is acceptable provided that no failure of the plant occurs. All floor cloths shall have been pumped by the end of the test. If a floor cloth has not been pumped, and is located inside the pump housing a further floor cloth shall not be added. The floor cloth located inside the housing shall be removed after 15 min and the test continued. The SIST EN 12050-1:2015

The inclusion of specific requirements for non-return valves, referenced from EN 12050-4, enhances the overall effectiveness of the installations under varying operational conditions. Furthermore, the clarity that lifting plants for wastewater containing faecal matter can also accommodate wastewater without faecal components and surface water adds to the versatility of the standard. This broad applicability ensures that the requirements set forth are relevant for a wide range of scenarios, making it an invaluable resource for engineers and architects involved in the design and implementation of wastewater management systems. Overall, EN 12050-1:2015 stands out as a vital document for stakeholders in the construction and maintenance of wastewater lifting plants. Its focus on performance, safety, and adaptability to various site conditions significantly enhances its relevance in the ongoing development of effective wastewater management solutions in the built environment.

EN 12050-1:2015 표준은 건물 및 장소의 배수 시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 오염수의 역류를 방지하기 위한 효과적인 설계 기준을 제공합니다. 이 표준의 주요 초점은 분뇨가 포함된 오수의 양수 시스템, 즉 "분뇨 양수 시스템"에 관한 것입니다. 이 시스템은 홍수 수준 이하에 있는 위치에서 배수하는 데 사용되며, 배수 성능을 유지하기 위해 필수적입니다. 표준의 강점 중 하나는 분명한 요구 사항과 기본적인 구조 및 시험 원칙을 규명하여 다양한 환경에서 양수 시스템의 신뢰성을 보장합니다. 이는 특히 공장에서 제작된, 혹은 현장에서 조립되는 제품 모두에 적용할 수 있어 상당한 유연성을 제공합니다. 또한, 분뇨가 포함된 오수 뿐만 아니라 분뇨가 포함되지 않은 오수 및 표면수에도 사용 가능하다는 점은 이 표준의 적용 범위를 넓히는 주요 요소입니다. EN 12050-1:2015는 자재에 대한 정보, 성능 일관성의 평가 및 검증을 포함하여 양수 시스템의 전반적인 체계적 접근을 제공합니다. 특히, 이 표준은 건물 이외의 배수 및 하수 시스템을 위한 펌핑 설치에 대해서는 적용되지 않기 때문에, 사용자들이 자신들의 필요에 맞는 정확한 기준을 사용할 수 있도록 돕습니다. 마지막으로, EN 12050-1:2015는 오수 양수 시스템의 비반환 밸브에 대한 건설 및 시험 요구 사항을 명시하는 EN 12050 4와도 연결되어, 양수 시스템의 안전성과 효과성을 더욱 보장합니다. 이처럼, 해당 표준은 건물에서의 오수 관리를 위한 필수적인 기준서로 자리 잡고 있으며, 관련 업계에서의 신뢰성을 높이는 데 기여하고 있습니다.

EN 12050-1:2015は、建物や敷地における糞便を含む廃水の持ち上げポンプ設備に関する欧州規格であり、特に洪水レベル以下の場所での廃水の排水を目的としています。この規格は、持ち上げポンプを用いることで建物内への廃水の逆流を防ぐことを目指しています。規格は、プレファブ(工場製)製品とプレファブキットのいずれかを選択可能であり、現場での組み立ても考慮されています。 この標準の強みは、糞便を含む廃水に特化した詳細な構造要件と試験原則を提供している点です。また、材料の情報や性能の一貫性の確認と評価に関する基準が明示されており、実用性と安全性を確保します。さらに、EN 12050-4に基づいて廃水持ち上げポンプ設備に使われる逆止弁の構造及び試験要件も定義されています。 この欧州規格は、糞便を含まない廃水や表流水にも利用できることが明記されており、この点でも適用範囲の広さが評価されます。また、異なる供給元から購入された個々のコンポーネントを現場で組み合わせる場合にも適用 가능であり、柔軟な選択肢を提供しています。したがって、EN 12050-1:2015は、廃水管理において信頼性と効率を高めるための重要な基準として位置付けられています。
