Schwerkraftentwässerungsanlagen innerhalb von Gebäuden - Teil 4: Abwasserhebeanlagen - Planung und Bemessung
Dieser Teil der Europäischen Norm beschreibt Auslegung, Betrieb und Instandhaltungsregeln für Abwasserhebeanlagen für fäkalienhaltiges und -freies Abwasser und Regenwasser innerhalb von Gebäuden und auf Grundstücken sowie deren Anschluß an die Sammel- und Grundleitungen. Er gilt auch für Fäkalienhebeanlagen zur begrenzten Verwendung.
Réseaux d'évacuation gravitaire a l'intérieur des bâtiments - Partie 4: Stations de relevage d'effluents - Conception et calculs
Cette partie de la norme européenne décrit la conception, le fonctionnement et les règles d'entretien pour des stations de relevage pour effluents contenant des matières fécales et exempts de matières fécales et pour eaux de pluie à l'intérieur des bâtiments et sur terrains, ainsi que le raccordement aux canalisations et conduites collectrices. Elle s'applique également aux stations de relevage à application limitée pour effluents contenant des matières fécales.

Overview
EN 12056-4:2000 (CEN) is the European standard that specifies requirements for the layout, operation and maintenance of wastewater lifting plants inside buildings and on sites. It applies to lifting plants handling wastewater containing faecal matter, faecal‑free wastewater and rainwater, and covers their associated discharge pipework and connection to drain. The standard also addresses faecal wastewater lifting plants for limited applications.
Key topics
- Scope and definitions - classification of lifting plants (faecal, faecal‑free, rainwater) and application limits.
- Layout and siting - guidance on location, access, ventilation and space requirements to ensure safe installation and operation.
- Hydraulic design and calculation - procedures for sizing lifting plants and discharge pipework to achieve reliable drainage (pump selection, flow considerations).
- Operation requirements - control, switching, alarms and backup provisions to maintain continuous service.
- Maintenance and inspection - access for cleaning, servicing intervals, replacement parts and safe working practices.
- Connection to drainage system - requirements for discharge point, backflow prevention and integration with building drainage and external sewers.
- Hygiene and environmental aspects - measures to prevent contamination, odour control and proper handling of faecal wastewater.
Applications
EN 12056-4:2000 is intended for practical use in the design, installation and upkeep of in‑building lifting stations, including:
- Multi‑storey buildings where gravity flow to sewer is not possible
- Basement or sub‑level sanitary facilities and remote fixtures
- Sites subject to flood risk or where sewer connection point is elevated
- Temporary or specialist installations requiring hygienic wastewater removal
Who uses this standard
- Building services and plumbing engineers
- Architectural and structural designers integrating drainage solutions
- Installation contractors and mechanical plumbers
- Facility managers and maintenance teams responsible for servicing lifting plants
- Local authorities, building control and compliance officers
Related standards
- EN 12056 series (other parts covering gravity drainage in buildings) and national plumbing codes. Refer to the wider EN 12056 suite for complementary requirements on system design, drainage components and testing.
EN 12056-4:2000 is a practical reference for ensuring safe, hygienic and code‑compliant design and maintenance of wastewater lifting plants in building drainage projects.
