Overview

EN 639:1994 is a CEN (European) Standard that defines the common requirements for concrete pressure pipes, their joints and fittings, including jacking pipes. The standard applies to components intended for use in water systems that carry water for human consumption (drinking water), industrial use, irrigation or wastewater. EN 639 sets out the general characteristics and expectations manufacturers, specifiers and authorities should follow to ensure safe, durable and compatible pipe systems.

Key Topics

The standard addresses high-level, common requirements relevant to concrete pressure pipe systems, typically including:

• Scope and definitions that establish the range of components covered (pipes, joints, fittings, jacking pipes).
• Material and manufacturing considerations for concrete components intended to withstand internal pressure and environmental exposure.
• Joint and fitting requirements to ensure hydraulic tightness, mechanical compatibility and reliable connections between elements.
• Durability and performance expectations for long-term service in potable water, industrial and wastewater networks.
• Quality control and marking to support traceability, conformity assessment and correct specification at procurement and installation.
• Testing and inspection guidance for verifying compliance with performance and safety expectations.

(EN 639 focuses on common requirements and does not replace product-specific or national standards that may provide more detailed methods, dimensions or test procedures.)

Applications and Users

EN 639 is intended for practical use in the design, manufacture, procurement and installation of pressure pipe systems where concrete pipes are selected. Typical users include:

• Pipe manufacturers and component suppliers (concrete pipes, joints, fittings)
• Water utilities and municipal engineers specifying potable and wastewater mains
• Civil and hydraulic engineers designing distribution, irrigation or process water systems
• Contractors and installers handling jacking pipes and pressure pipe assemblies
• Conformity assessors and procurement authorities assessing product compliance

Applying EN 639 helps ensure system safety, compatibility, and serviceability across a range of water-related infrastructures.

Related Standards

EN 639 complements other European and international standards covering:

• Product-specific requirements for concrete pipes and fittings
• Standards for materials in contact with drinking water
• Test methods for pipe joint watertightness and mechanical performance

For complete project specifications, EN 639 should be used alongside applicable product and test standards from CEN and relevant national regulations.
