Introduction
Sewerage disposal is a very important task of building services engineering because of hygienic reasons.
The piping must drain waste water and rain water out of the building and lead it way from the building
safe. Blockages must be avoided by proper design of the drainage system as well as the use of the
appropriate selection of the sanitary appliances.
On one hand, harmonized European standards exist for a lot of sanitary appliances to be installed as a
part of the drainage system. On the other hand, some links and requirements disappeared or went out
of sight during the phase of harmonization.
This paper should close this gap and gives additional information on application conditions for sanitary
appliances to avoid malfunction of the drainage system.
It is not intended to give guidance on the system standards like EN 12056.

1 Scope
This document describes the installation rules that must be followed to ensure proper functioning of
the drainage system depending on the specified performance of the sanitary appliances.
These performance characteristics of sanitary appliances (defined in the harmonized standards EN 997,
EN 13407, EN 14688, EN 14528 and EN 14527) are explained and brought into line with the application
rules of standard series EN 12056.
According to Regulation (EU) 305/2011, legally binding information on building requirements must be
provided by the National Product Information Point. Therefore, additional national requirements are
mentioned informatively where information is available.

4 Drinking water installation
When choosing sanitary appliances, the rules for drinking water protection have to be taken into
account as well. Such rules are defined, e.g. in EN 1717 and the corresponding product standards in case
the product is concerned. Guidance will be given in this document.
Special aspects of national legislation have to be taken into account.

5 The drainage system
5.1 Types of sewage water: black water and rain water
Waste water or black water consists out of all sewage water from kitchen, bathroom, lavatory and other
facilities.
The source of rain water is the roof drainage and other paved areas.
In case black water and rain water will be mixed, it is called combined waste water.
5.2 Types of building drainage system: separate sewerage system and combined
sewerage system
For the discharge of wastewater inside buildings, several pipings from the sanitary appliances to the
connecting piping, the connecting sewer and finally to the public sewage water system are used.
Separate sewerage system means the two piping’s, one for rain water and one for waste water. It´s not
allowed using the waste water piping for rain water.
The size of the piping for waste water has to be calculated according to the amount of waste water
linked to the sanitary appliances.
In case of a combined sewerage system, both types of sewage piping should be connected at the
connecting piping or the connecting sewer only. It is recommended to do so as close as possible to the
public sewage water system.
5.3 Drainage system: design and dimensioning
Design and dimensioning of the drainage system inside buildings is very important. It has to be taken
into account:
— minimum slope,
— minimum flow rate,
— filling level, and
— ventilation
of the drainage system.
Only in case all aspects are respected properly the function of the drainage system is warranted, i.e.
solids can be flushed out sufficient with the first flush and transported later on.
Wrong dimensioning will lead to failures such as:
— in case of too small pipes: the waste water system is not capable to take the complete waste water
and also ventilation. This means: blockage occurs;
— in case of too big pipes: solid waste will not be transported sufficiently. Blockages will occur.
Pouring down more water in the drain is not the solution.

5.4 Basis for drainage systems
Basic standard for drainage systems in Europe is the series of standards EN 12056 (Gravity drainage
systems inside buildings) consisting of:
— Part 1: General and performance requirements
— Part 2: Sanitary pipework, layout and calculation
— Part 3: Roof drainage, layout and calculation
— Part 4: Wastewater lifting plants. Layout and calculation
— Part 5: Installation and testing, instructions for operation, maintenance and use
The EN 12056 series has to be understood as a basic standard to be used as a European frame work.
Additional national rules have to be taken into account. Special aspects of national legislation may
overrule certain requirements of EN 12056.
If a reference to EN 12056 is made in the following, this refers to the series of the standard with all
parts.
6 Types of drainage systems
6.1 General
Different types of drainage system are installed all over Europe. Variations are based on differing types
of sanitary appliances, history of the installation and technical habits of building.
EN 12056 defines four types of drainage systems, which mainly differ in terms of allowed filling level in
the connecting pipes.
6.2 System I: Single discharge stack system with partly filled branch discharge pipes
Sanitary appliances are connected to partly filled branch discharge pipes. The partly filled branch
discharge pipes are designed with a filling degree of 0,5 (50 %) and are connected to a single discharge
stack.
6.3 System II: Single discharge stack system with small bore discharge branch pipes
Sanitary appliances are connected to small bore branch discharge pipes. The small bore branch
discharge pipes are designed with a filling degree of 0,7 (70 %) and are connected to a single discharge
stack.
6.4 System III: Single discharge stack system with full bore branch discharge pipes
Sanitary appliances are connected to full bore branch discharge pipes. The full bore branch discharge
pipes are designed with a filling degree of 1,0 (100 %) and each branch discharge pipe is separately
connected to a single discharge stack.
6.5 System IV: Separate discharge stack system
Drainage systems Type I, II and III may also be divided into a black water stack serving WC’s and urinals
and a grey water stack serving all other appliances.
6.6 Area of application
In Annex A is shown the use of the drainage system by country.

7 Sanitary appliance
The main purpose of sanitary appliances is personal hygiene. For this they are designed to receive
water and to lead the water into the drainages system completely.
Each sanitary appliance delivers water with a specific flow rate (design unit [l/s]) to the drainage
system. To allow a proper calculation and dimensioning of the pipes, the calculation values for sanitary
appliances are described in detail in EN 12056.
For a proper function according to the rules of EN 12056, in product standards various types and
subtypes are described including their underlying characteristics and test procedures.
Hence it is necessary to take into account all characteristics defined for the respective product type
according to their product standard to ensure the proper function of the required drainage system.

5 The drainage system
5.1 Types of sewage water: black water and rain water
Waste water or black water consists out of all sewage water from kitchen, bathroom, lavatory and other
facilities.
The source of rain water is the roof drainage and other paved areas.
In case black water and rain water will be mixed, it is called combined waste water.
5.2 Types of building drainage system: separate sewerage system and combined
sewerage system
For the discharge of wastewater inside buildings, several pipings from the sanitary appliances to the
connecting piping, the connecting sewer and finally to the public sewage water system are used.
Separate sewerage system means the two piping’s, one for rain water and one for waste water. It´s not
allowed using the waste water piping for rain water.
The size of the piping for waste water has to be calculated according the amount of waste water linked
to the sanitary appliances.
In case of a combined sewerage system, both types of sewage piping should be connected at the
connecting piping or the connecting sewer only. It is recommended to do so as close as possible to the
public sewage water system.
5.3 Drainage system: design and dimensioning
Design and dimensioning of the drainage system inside buildings is very important. It has to be taken
into account:
— minimum slope,
— minimum flow rate,
— filling level and
— ventilation
of the drainage system.
Only in case all aspects are respected properly the function of the drainage system is warranted, i.e.
solids can be flushed out sufficient with the first flush and transported later on.
Wrong dimensioning will lead to failures such as:
— in case of too small pipes: the waste water system is not capable to take the complete waste water
and also ventilation. This means: blockage occurs;
— in case of too big pipes: solid waste will not transported sufficiently. Blockages will occur.
Pouring down more water in the drain is not the solution!

5.4 Basis for drainage systems
Basic standard for drainage systems in Europe is the series of standards EN 12056 (Gravity drainage
systems inside buildings) consisting of:
— Part 1: General and performance requirements
— Part 2: Sanitary pipework, layout and calculation
— Part 3: Roof drainage, layout and calculation
— Part 4: Wastewater lifting plants. Layout and calculation
— Part 5: Installation and testing, instructions for operation, maintenance and use
The EN 12056 series has to be understood as a basic standard to be used as a European frame work.
Additional national rules have to be taken into account. Special aspects of national legislation may
overrule certain requirements of EN 12056.
If a reference to EN 12056 is made in the following, this refers to the series of the standard with all
parts.
6 Types of drainage systems
Different types of drainage system are installed all over Europe. Variations are based on differing types
of sanitary appliances, history of the installation and technical habits of building.
EN 12056 defines four types of drainage systems, which mainly differ in terms of allowed filling level in
the connecting pipes.
6.1 System I: Single discharge stack system with partly filled branch discharge pipes
Sanitary appliances are connected to partly filled branch discharge pipes. The partly filled branch
discharge pipes are designed with a filling degree of 0,5 (50 %) and are connected to a single discharge
stack.
6.2 System II: Single discharge stack system with small bore discharge branch pipes
Sanitary appliances are connected to small bore branch discharge pipes. The small bore branch
discharge pipes are designed with a filling degree of 0,7 (70 %) and are connected to a single discharge
stack.
6.3 System III: Single discharge stack system with full bore branch discharge pipes
Sanitary appliances are connected to full bore branch discharge pipes. The full bore branch discharge
pipes are designed with a filling degree of 1,0 (100 %) and each branch discharge pipe is separately
connected to a single discharge stack.
6.4 System IV: Separate discharge stack system
Drainage systems Type I, II and III may also be divided into a black water stack serving WC’s and urinals
and a grey water stack serving all other appliances.
6.5 Area of application
In Annex A is shown the use of the drainage system by country.

7 Sanitary appliance
The main purpose of sanitary appliances is personal hygiene. For this they are designed to receive
water and to lead the water into the drainages system completely.
Each sanitary appliance delivers water with a specific flow rate (design unit [l/s]) to the drainage
system. To allow a proper calculation and dimensioning of the pipes, the calculation values for sanitary
appliances are described in detail in EN 12056.
For a proper function according the rules of EN 12056, in product standards various types and subtypes
are described including their underlying characteristics and test procedures.
Hence it is necessary to take into account all characteristics defined for the respective product type
according to their product standard to ensure the proper function of the required drainage system.
