Overview

EN 1306:2018 is a European Standard developed by CEN for inland navigation vessels, focusing on standardized connections for the discharge of waste water. This standard specifies the design, dimensions, technical requirements, and testing methods for connections used to safely and efficiently dispose of waste water generated on inland vessels. It aims to harmonize connection types to ensure compatibility and environmental safety during waste water discharge operations.

The standard covers two main connection designs commonly used on inland navigation vessels:

• A threaded pipe with a quick-release coupling.
• A flange connection according to ISO 7608 – B1 standards, comprising an adapter with a matching flange and welded threaded pipe with quick-release coupling.

By implementing EN 1306:2018, vessel constructors and operators can enhance safety, reduce environmental contamination, and ensure regulatory compliance in the discharge of waste water.

Key Topics

• Connection Types:

  • Design R: Pipe with threaded neck permanently installed on the vessel connected to a quick-release coupling for suction hoses.
  • Design F: Flanged connection (ISO 7608 – B1) connected via an adapter with a welded threaded pipe and quick-release coupling.

• Dimensions:

  • The nominal diameter (DN) of the quick-release coupling is standardized at 80 mm to ensure interchangeability.
  • Connection configurations allow convenient access and connection of hoses with a bend radius around 2000 mm.
  • Clearance requirements include a minimum radius of 200 mm and depth of 60 mm behind the connection to facilitate coupling operation.

• Materials:

  • Pipes and adapters are made of steel for durability.
  • Coupling connections use copper-zinc alloy brass compliant with EN 12420 standards.
  • Blanking caps are made from wrought aluminum alloys specified under EN 573-3 for corrosion resistance.

• Testing and Quality Assurance:

  • Visual inspection and precise dimensional measurement are mandated to ensure conformity with EN 1306:2018.

• Marking and Designation:

  • Connections must be permanently marked including black paint on pipe necks and signage identifying them as “Discharge connection for waste water EN 1306” with clear font sizes.

Applications

EN 1306:2018 is essential for manufacturers, shipbuilders, and operators of inland navigation vessels seeking reliable and environmentally safe waste water discharge systems. Applications include:

• Inland Commercial Shipping: Implementing standardized connections facilitates maintenance, replacement, and ensures regulatory compliance in waste water management on cargo and passenger vessels.
• Passenger Vessels and Ferries: Ensures hygienic and standardized discharge of sewage and washroom effluents.
• Maintenance and Repair Services: Provides a benchmark for testing and certifying vessel discharge connections post-refitting or repair.
• Environmental Protection: Reduces risks of leakages and contamination during waste water discharge operations into inland waterways, aligning with ecological regulations.

The standard’s requirements promote operator safety by preventing accidental releases and providing securely fitting quick-release couplings that simplify waste water handling without environmental hazards.

Related Standards

• ISO 7608 – B1 (Shipbuilding - Inland navigation - Couplings for disposal of oily mixture and sewage water)
• EN 14420-6 (Hose fittings with clamp units – TW tank truck couplings) – Defines the female coupling details used in the quick-release design.
• EN 573-3 (Aluminium and aluminium alloys – Chemical composition and form of wrought products)
• EN 12420 (Copper and copper alloys – Forgings)
• EN 22768-1 (General tolerances – Tolerances for linear and angular dimensions)
• EN ISO 228-1 (Pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are not made on the threads)
• EN ISO 4018 and EN ISO 4034 (Standardized hexagon head screws and nuts used in connection assemblies)

These related standards support compliance by detailing material specifications, thread standards, and component tolerances compatible with EN 1306:2018.
