European Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 13476-4:2019) 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 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 13476-4:2013.
The main change compared to the previous version concerns the compliance with the latest version of
the template for assessment of conformity, including the addition of the new test method for large
diameter pipes.
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 (the present TS).
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the

Introduction
Figures 1 and 2 are intended to provide general information on the concept of testing and organization
of those tests used for the purpose of the assessment of conformity. For each type of test, i.e. type testing
(TT), batch release test (BRT), process verification test (PVT), and audit test (AT), this document details
the applicable characteristics to be assessed as well as the frequency and sampling of testing.
A typical scheme for the assessment of conformity of compounds/formulations, pipes, fittings, joints or
assemblies by manufacturers is given in Figure 1.
