This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 8 December 2019 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 1401-2:2020) 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 1401-2:2012.
Compared with CEN/TS 1401-2:2012, the following changes have been made:
— merging of Table 1 and Table 2 to have the new Table 1 “Formulation tolerances”;
— clarification that a lower content of non-virgin material in the formulation which has already been
Type tested and which is fulfilling the agreed specification is not considered as a material change;
— increase of minimum testing frequencies if a non-virgin material is used.
EN 1401, Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage — Unplasticized
poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), consists of the following Parts:
— Part 1: Specifications for pipes, fittings and the system;
— Part 2: Guidance for the assessment of conformity.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
United Kingdom.
Introduction
This revision of the EN 1401 series is proposed in order to improve the 'level of sustainability' and the
'environmental impact' of PVC piping systems, whilst improving the recommendations and safe use of
recycled material. Recycled material is categorised as non-virgin material in this document.
Regarding this specific target, more focus was given to the control of applied material formulation and
to the final characteristics and performance of products.
This document is based on the template prepared in CEN/TC 155/WG21 version V.5.
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. This document details the
applicable characteristics to be assessed as well as the frequency and sampling of testing for each type
of test, i.e. type testing (TT), batch release test (BRT), process verification test (PVT) and audit test (AT).
A typical scheme for the assessment of conformity of formulations pipes, fittings, assemblies by
manufacturers is given in Figure 1.

A typical scheme for the assessment of conformity of formulations, pipes, fittings, assemblies by
