Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 165, "Wastewater engineering", the
secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by June 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
September 2003.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard : Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
A distinction has been made between initial testing (type tests) and routine quality control requirements
(acceptance tests).
Attention is drawn to the need for observance of EEC and/or EFTA and national legal requirements restricting the
use of certain materials and to the related marking and labelling requirements.
The performance of a sewage network constructed with these products depends not only on the properties of the
product as required by this standard but also on the design and construction of the network as a whole in relation to
the environment and conditions of use.
