5.3 Dimensions of manholes and inspection chambers
5.3.1 Manholes
The minimum dimensions of manholes deviate per country and local circumstances and should therefore
comply with the national regulations in force at the place of installation.
National or local safety regulations or the relevant authority might specify larger minimum dimensions
than specified below and design details, e.g. for the access and personal entry measures.
In the absence of national regulations, the clear opening of the manhole cover according to EN 124 series
shall be ≥ 600 mm and minimum internal dimensions of manholes (see Figure 8 a) and 8 b)) shall be as
follows:
— for circular sections the minimum internal diameter: 1 000 mm;
— for rectangular sections the minimum internal dimensions: 750 mm × 1 200 mm;
— for square sections the minimum internal dimensions: 1 000 mm × 1 000 mm;
— for elliptical sections the minimum internal dimensions: 900 mm × 1 100 mm.
For personnel access under exceptional circumstances, and only where national or local safety
regulations allow, manholes can have smaller dimensions according to Figure 8 c) with the following
typical minimum internal dimensions:
— for circular sections the minimum internal diameter: 800 mm;
— for rectangular sections the minimum internal dimensions; 750 mm × 1 000 mm;
— for square sections the minimum internal dimensions: 800 mm × 800 mm;
— for elliptical sections the minimum internal dimensions: 800 mm × 1 000 mm.
Manholes for personnel access under exceptional circumstances should not be seen as an invitation to
accept dangerous situations.

European foreword
This document (prEN 476:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 165 “Waste water
engineering”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 476:2011.
The specifications of this document are based on the requirements for wastewater systems specified in
EN 752 and EN 12056. Significant technical differences between this edition and EN 476:2011 are as
follows:
a) the Scope is clarified in the way that this document contains requirements for product standards;
b) Table 1 (Preferred nominal sizes DN/ID) and Table 2 (Preferred nominal sizes DN/OD), paragraph
5.2.1, are moved to the new Annex A;
c) the paragraphs under subclause 5.3, Dimensions of manholes and inspection chambers, are
completely rewritten, with minimum internal dimension for different sections (always in
compliance with the national regulations in force at the place of installation);
d) for reaction to fire, a new subclause 6.15 is added.
This document provides a framework for the development of product standards to be used in drain and
sewer systems outside buildings. In Figure 1 the position of this document related to other standards on
this subject is given.
This document describes the general requirements to be taken into account in product standards.

1 Scope
This document specifies general requirements to be respected in product standards for components
such as pipes, fittings, inspection chambers and manholes with their respective joints intended for use
in drains and sewers inside and outside buildings which operate as gravity systems allowing for a
maximum pressure of 40 kPa.
It also specifies general requirements for components used in hydraulically and pneumatically
pressurized discharge pipes, drains and sewers.
NOTE 1 Where the term “inside buildings” is used in the context of components fixed inside buildings, it also
includes discharge pipes and fittings fixed on external surfaces of buildings
NOTE 2 This document is not a product standard and therefore not intended for the direct evaluation of
products.
This document covers components to be used in conveying in a satisfactory manner:
— domestic wastewater;
— rainwater and surface water; and
— other waste waters acceptable for discharge into the system (e.g. industrial wastewater).
This document applies to components of circular and other cross sections.
This document applies equally to components which are factory-made and to those constructed on site,
where applicable.
NOTE 3 This document does not apply to components used for trenchless construction according to EN 14457
and for components used for renovation of drains and sewers according to EN 13380.
This document does not supersede the functional requirements of a complete system as defined in
EN 752.

5.3 Dimensions of manholes and inspection chambers
5.3.1 Manholes
Manholes are for personnel access for maintenance works, cleaning and inspection.
The minimum dimensions of manholes deviate per country and local circumstances and should
therefore comply with the national regulations in force at the place of installation.
In the absence of national regulations, the diameter of the clear opening of the manhole cover according
to EN 124 shall be ≥ 600 mm (see Figure 8) and typical minimum internal dimensions of manholes (see
Figure 8 a) and 8 b) shall be as follows:
— for circular sections the minimum internal diameter: 1 000 mm;
— for rectangular sections the minimum internal dimensions: 750 mm × 1 200 mm;
— for square sections the minimum internal dimensions: 1 000 mm × 1 000 mm;
— for elliptical sections the minimum internal dimensions: 900 mm × 1 100 mm.
National or local safety regulations or the relevant authority might specify larger minimum dimensions
and design details, e.g. for the access and personal entry measures.
For personnel access under exceptional circumstances, and where national regulations allow, manholes
may have smaller dimensions according to Figure 8 c) with the following typical minimum internal
dimension:
— for circular sections the minimum internal diameter shall be 800 mm;
— for rectangular sections the minimum internal dimensions shall be 750 mm × 1 000 mm;
— for square sections the minimum internal dimensions shall be 800 mm × 800 mm;
— for elliptical sections the minimum internal dimensions shall be 800 mm × 1 000 mm.
Manholes for personnel access under exceptional circumstances should not be seen as an invitation to
accept dangerous situations.
