European foreword
This document (prEN 1455-1:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics
piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.

The main changes with respect to the previous edition are:
— updating of normative references;
— editorial improvement and alignment with new recently revised standards, e.g. EN 1329-1,
EN 1401-1, EN 1451-1;
— addition of subclause 6.4 Reaction to fire;
— introduction of a subclause 8.3.2 Additional requirements of fittings with Table 18 introducing
mechanical strength or flexibility and impact strength;
— deletion of Clause 10 as its content is distributed elsewhere in the document;

1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for solid wall pipes with smooth internal and external
surfaces, extruded from the same formulation throughout the wall, fittings and the system of
acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylester (ASA) piping systems
intended for soil and waste discharge applications (low and high temperature):
— inside buildings (application area code “B”);
— for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (application area code
“BD”).
NOTE 1 The intended use is reflected in the marking of products by “B” or “BD”.
NOTE 2 Application “B” covers uses above ground inside buildings, or outside buildings fixed onto the wall.
NOTE 3 Pipes and fittings of the pipe series S 25 are intended to be used for application area “B” only.
NOTE 4 For use buried in ground within the building structure are intended only those components (marked
with “BD”) with nominal outside diameters equal to or greater than 75 mm.
NOTE 5 EN 476 [1] specifies the general requirements for components used in discharge pipes, drains and
sewers for gravity systems. Pipes and fittings conforming to this standard fully meet these requirements.
This document is also applicable to ABS and ASA pipes, fittings and the system intended for the
following purposes:
— ventilating part of the pipework in association with discharge applications;
— rainwater pipework within the building structure.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test method that are referred to.
This document covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipes and fittings series and gives
recommendations concerning colours.
NOTE 6 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these
aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation
practices or codes.
NOTE 7 Pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics product standards listed in
Annex A can be used with pipes and fittings conforming to this document, provided they conform to the
requirements for joint dimensions given in Clause 7 and to the requirements of Table 21.
