European foreword

This document (prEN 877:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 203 “Cast iron

pipes, fittings and their joints”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (in cooperation with CEN/TC

165).
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 877:1999.

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 of EU Directive(s).

For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this

document.

It is one of a series of standards for cast iron products for pipelines for various applications.

It deals with subjects covered by the International Standard ISO 6594. The major difference is the

inclusion of requirements for joints and for product performance.

This standard is in conformity with the general requirements already established by CEN/TC 165 in the

field of waste water engineering, as required by EN 476.
