33 Introduction
34 The EN 50626 series specifies requirements for conduit systems buried underground for the
35 protection and management of insulated electrical cables or communication cables. For general
36 applications, requirements of prEN 50626-1 are considered sufficient. For special applications,
37 particular characteristics and tests are required in order to fulfil the expected service time. Therefore,
38 the need to introduce material and lifetime requirements are considered necessary. In most of these
39 special applications, conduits made of thermoplastics materials are used.40 For developing these particular characteristics and requirements, members of CEN/TC155 were
41 invited to contribute to the drafting of this Part 2.42 In this prEN 50626-2, specific material and lifetime requirements are covered. Some of these
43 requirements are under consideration within CEN/TC155. This is done without interfering with the
44 approach of CLC/TC213 regarding the prescription of type tests for checking the product
45 characteristics.---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

38 Introduction
39 CENELEC TC 213 is responsible for the development of the EN 50626 series, which consists of two separate
40 parts, each covering different products/applications.41 This document covers requirements and tests for conduit systems buried underground for the protection and
42 management of insulated conductors and/or power cables or communication cables having a specified
43 performance time and which are leak-tight solid wall conduit systems and manufactured in PE, PP and PVC-U.
44 prEN 50626-1 covers requirements and tests for conduit systems buried underground for the protection and
45 management of insulated conductors and/or power cables or communication cables.
46 For on-site storage, use CEN/TR 1046 as a guidance.47 A conduit system buried underground that conforms to this document is deemed to be safe for use.
48 This is a European Standard for cable management products used for electro-technical purposes. It relates to the
49 Council Directives on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States
50 relating to Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU through consideration of the essential requirements of this directive.

52 1 Scope
53 This document specifies requirements and tests for PE, PP and PVC-U leak-tight solid wall conduit systems with
54 circular cross section, manufactured individually or as part of an assembly having a specified performance time
55 and buried underground to a maximum depth of 6 m for the protection and management of insulated conductors
56 and/or power cables or communication cables.57 Applications that require leak-tight solid wall conduit systems are:
58 — installation of cables in conduits by blowing;
59 — installation of cables in conduits by floating;
60 — trenchless installation of conduits.
61 This document is applicable to conduits with or without integral socket and fittings.
62 NOTE 1 Conduits in which cables are installed by blowing or floating can also be installed by conventional methods.
63 NOTE 2 Installation of cables can also be done by pulling and pushing.64 NOTE 3 Within a thermoplastic conduit system, fittings made of other materials can be used but they are not specified in
65 this document.66 NOTE 4 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to take into account any relevant national regulations and
67 installation practices or codes when selecting the products to be installed, based on the characteristics specified in this
68 document.69 NOTE 5 Microducts are covered by the relevant part of the EN 60794 series.

191 When viewed without magnification, the following requirements apply:
192 The internal, unless otherwise specified, and the external surfaces of conduits and fittings shall be smooth, clean
193 and free from inadequate edges, grooving, blistering, impurities and pores and any other surface irregularities
194 likely to prevent their conformity to this document.195 The conduit end shall be cleanly cut and the ends of conduits and fittings shall be square to their axis.
196 6.2 Colour197 The colour should be agreed with the customer.
198 NOTE National regulations could apply.
199 The colour shall be constant along the length of the conduit or fitting.
200 The conduits and fittings shall be coloured through the wall except that in thin external layers or stripes the use of
201 different colours are accepted for the purpose for colour coding.202 7 Geometrical characteristics
203 7.1 General
204 Dimensions shall be measured in accordance with EN ISO 3126:2005.
205 In some countries, DN/ID is preferred instead of DN/OD. However, this deviation of the geometrical characteristics
206 shall be stated in the national foreword.---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
