Rohre und Formstücke aus Thermoplasten - Leitlinien für die recyclingorientierte Gestaltung
Dieses Dokument legt Leitlinien für die recyclingorientierte Gestaltung von thermoplastischen Rohren und Formstücken fest, die als Bauprodukte oder zur Wasserversorgung in Bewässerungsanlagen verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die in Bewässerungsanlagen verwendeten Bauteile wie biegsame Leitungen und Tropfleitungen sind nicht Bestandteile dieses Dokuments.
ANMERKUNG 2 Rohre und Formstücke, die für die Kabelführung verwendet werden, sind nicht Bestandteile dieses Dokuments.
ANMERKUNG 3 Die Verpackung von Rohren und Formstücken ist nicht Bestandteil dieses Dokuments.
Die Leitlinien dieses Dokuments wurden erstellt, um mechanisches Recycling zu erleichtern.
ANMERKUNG 4 Die Leitlinien könnten auch für das chemische Recycling von Nutzen sein.
Als thermoplastische Rohre und Formstücke gelten solche, bei denen das Gesamtvolumen der Thermoplastformmasse/ formulierung mehr als 50 % beträgt.
Dieses Dokument kann auch für andere thermoplastische Produkte, die in einem Rohrleitungssystem zum Einsatz kommen, angewendet werden, wie z. B. für Einsteigschächte, Kontrollschächte, Sickerkästen und Armaturen.
Tubes et raccords en matières thermoplastiques - Directives de conception pour le recyclage
Le présent document spécifie les lignes directrices pour le recyclage des tubes et raccords en matières thermoplastiques, utilisés comme produits de construction ou utilisés pour l'alimentation en eau des systèmes d'irrigation.
NOTE 1 Les composants utilisés dans les systèmes d'irrigation, tels que les tuyaux flexibles et les lignes d’égouttement, ne font pas partie du présent document.
NOTE 2 Les tubes et raccords utilisés pour la gestion des câbles ne font pas partie du présent document.
NOTE 3 L'emballage des tubes et raccords ne fait pas partie du présent document.
Les lignes directrices du présent document ont été élaborées pour faciliter le recyclage mécanique.
NOTE 4 Les lignes directrices pourraient également être utiles pour le recyclage chimique.
Les tubes et raccords en matières thermoplastiques sont considérés comme étant ceux dont le volume total de la composition/formulation en thermoplastique est supérieur à 50 %.
Le présent document peut également être utilisé pour d'autres produits en thermoplastiques utilisés dans un système de canalisations, tels que les regards, les boîtes d'inspection et de branchement, les structures d'infiltration et les robinets.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 1 December 2024 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,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 18116:2024) 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 has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the

Introduction
This document is developed in response to the standardization request M/584 of 1st August 2022.
The scope of this document, requested by M/584, is extended from “HDPE pipes and fittings and PVC
pipes and fittings” to “thermoplastics pipes and fittings”.
The product and material requirements (virgin and/or recyclate) as defined in product standards should
be fulfilled, as applicable.
NOTE Recommendations to the value chain of thermoplastics piping systems to stimulate the use of
thermoplastics recyclates can be found in the EN 14541 series. In CEN/TS 14541-2, guidance and information is
given for drafting product standards for defining relevant characteristics, e.g. for fingerprinting.
