Foreword
This document (EN 877:1999/A1:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 203 “Cast iron
pipes, fittings and their joints”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This Amendment to the European Standard EN 877:1999 shall be given the status of a national standard,
either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2007, and conflicting national
standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2008.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

4.1.3 Reaction to fire
Uncoated cast iron pipes and fittings, their joints and accessories are Class A1 CWFT according to CEC
Decision 96/603/EC as amended.
Considering the products in their end-use conditions (assembled into a discharge system), internal coatings
are not relevant as they are not exposed to fire (a very low quantity of smoke is possible but it will go outside
buildings through stack vents). Gaskets of joints are not relevant either as in the end-use conditions they are
not exposed to fire and represent a very low quantity of organic material.
According to EN 13501-1, as the gross calorific potential (PCS) of the products in their assembled state (pipes,
fittings, joints, their components and materials), due to their densities and weight quantities, will always satisfy
the requirement on PCS for the product as a whole (≤ 3,0 MJ/kg), the reaction to fire classification shall be
obtained as follows:
 external coatings, if containing more than 1 % by weight or volume (whichever is the more onerous) of
homogeneously distributed organic material, shall satisfy the requirements of 4.6.3 on ignitability or gross
calorific potential, depending on the intended class of reaction to fire

(normative)

Evaluation of conformity
D.1 General
The manufacturer shall demonstrate compliance of his product with the relevant requirements of this
European Standard and with the declared values or classes for the product properties by carrying out both of
the following tasks:
a) initial type testing of the product (see D.2);
b) factory production control (see D.3), including product inspection.
NOTE This annex can be read in conjunction with Annex E for the purposes of assessment of conformity.
D.2 Initial type testing
Initial type testing shall be performed to show conformity with this European Standard. Tests previously
performed in accordance with the provisions of this European Standard (same product, same characteristic(s),
test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity etc.) may be taken into account. For the
purposes of testing (including FPC testing), cast iron pipes and fittings, their joints and accessories may be
grouped into families where it is considered that the selected property is common to all products within that
family.
Samples of prototypes (pipes, fittings, accessories and joints) for each range of DN (see Table 7) shall pass
all the type tests listed in Tables 9 and 10 to demonstrate conformity with Clause 4, before production
commences.
In case of significant changes in design of the product and/or in manufacturing process, which would change
the properties of the finished product, the relevant type tests shall be repeated.
All characteristics in Clause 4 shall be subject to initial type testing.
NOTE In addition, the type tests in accordance with Annex D can be carried out by a competent laboratory accredited
in accordance with EN ISO/CEI 17011 and in conformity with EN ISO/IEC 17025 in order to demonstrate compliance with
the requirements of this European Standard, retaining full reports of these type tests by the manufacturer and, where
applicable, to be made available for examination.
