prEN 12566-6

Small wastewater treatment systems for up to 50 PT - Part 6: Prefabricated treatment units for septic tank effluent

This European Standard specifies characteristics and related requirements, assessment methods, the marking and assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) procedures for prefabricated secondary treatment units for populations up to 50 inhabitants.
Prefabricated secondary treatment units in accordance with this European Standard are:
- used for the treatment of effluent from product in accordance with EN 12566 1 or EN 12566 4;
NOTE   Equivalent septic effluent may come from existing septic tanks.
- made of concrete, steel, PVC-U, Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP-UP), Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD), PVC and/or EPDM; - used on the top of the ground (outside the building) or buried in the ground; - with or without extension shaft;
- made of components that are packaged or site-assembled and placed on the market as a kit by one manufacturer.
This European Standard does not cover prefabricated secondary treatment units:
- where vehicle loads apply to it; - with direct infiltration into the ground (non-watertight);
- made of retrofit kits (see definition in 3.1.7).
The assessment methods specified in this European Standard establish the performance of the prefabricated secondary treatment unit, needed to verify its suitability for the condition in which it is normally installed.

Kleinkläranlagen für bis zu 50 EW - Teil 6: Vorgefertigte Anlagen für die weitergehende Behandlung des aus Faulgruben ablaufenden Schmutzwassers

Dieses Dokument legt die Merkmale und die damit in Zusammenhang stehenden Anforderungen, Bewertungsverfahren, die Kennzeichnung und die Verfahren zur Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP) für vorgefertigte Anlagen für die zweite Reinigungsstufe für bis zu 50 EW fest.
Vorgefertigte Anlagen für die zweite Reinigungsstufe nach diesem Dokument
— werden für die Behandlung des aus Produkten nach EN 12566-1 ablaufenden Schmutzwassers verwendet,
Gleichwertiges aus Faulgruben ablaufendes Schmutzwasser kann aus bestehenden Faulgruben stammen.
— bestehen aus Beton, Stahl, weichmacherfreiem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC-U), Polyethylen (PE), Polypropylen (PP), glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff (GFK-UP), Polydicyclopentadien (PDCPD), PVC und/oder EPDM,
— werden in den Boden eingebaut,
— sind mit oder ohne Schachtverlängerung,
— bestehen aus vorgefertigten vorgefertigten und/oder vor Ort montierten Komponenten, die durch einen Hersteller als Bausatz auf den Markt gebracht und als Ganzes geprüft werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für vorgefertigte Anlagen für die zweite Reinigungsstufe,
— wenn sie Fahrzeuglasten ausgesetzt sind,
— wenn direkte Infiltration in den Boden stattfindet (nicht wasserdicht),
— wenn sie aus Nachrüstsätzen (siehe Definition in 3.1.5) bestehen.
Die in dieser Europäischen Norm festgelegten Bewertungsverfahren bestimmen die Leistung der vorgefertigten Anlage für die zweite Reinigungsstufe, die erforderlich ist, um ihre Eignung für die Bedingungen, in denen sie üblicherweise eingebaut wird, nachzuweisen.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12566-6:2016.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modification has been made:
• mainly changes in AVCP clause and Annex ZA in accordance with the Construction Product
Regulation (CPR) and changes in accordance with the CEN Rules.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements for construction works of
Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011.
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
The series of standards EN 12566 “Small wastewater treatment systems for up to 50 PT” contains the
following parts (see Figure 1):
• Part 1: Prefabricated septic tanks;
• Part 3: Packaged and/or site assembled domestic wastewater treatment plants;
• Part 6: Prefabricated secondary treatment unit (this document);
• Part 7: Prefabricated tertiary treatment unit

1 Scope
This document specifies characteristics and related requirements, assessment methods, the marking
and assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) procedures for prefabricated
secondary treatment units for populations up to 50 inhabitants.
Prefabricated secondary treatment units in accordance with this document are:
• used for the treatment of effluent from product in accordance with EN 12566-1;
Equivalent septic effluent may come from existing septic tanks.
• made of concrete, steel, Unplasticized Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U), Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene
(PP), Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP-UP), Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD), PVC and/or EPDM;
• used buried in the ground;
• with or without extension shaft;
• made of prefabricated components that are factory or site-assembled by one manufacturer and
which are tested as a whole.
This document does not cover prefabricated secondary treatment units:
• where vehicle loads apply to it;
• with direct infiltration into the ground (non-watertight);
• made of retrofit kits (see definition in 3.1.5).
The assessment methods specified in this European Standard establish the performance of the
prefabricated secondary treatment unit, needed to verify its suitability for the condition in which it is
normally installed.
