Plastics warning devices for underground cables and pipelines with visual characteristics
This standard specifies the requirements for warning devices with visual characteristics manufactured from plastic materials, intended to indicate the presence of cables and pipelines laid in the ground when opening trenches and more generally during digging work.
The warning device may have the form of a tape (type 1) or a mesh (type 2).
Warneinrichtungen aus Kunststoff mit visuellen Eigenschaften für erdverlegte Kabel und Rohrleitungen
1 Anwendungsbereich
Die vorliegende Norm legt Anforderungen an Warneinrichtungen mit visuellen Eigenschaften fest, die aus
Kunststoffen hergestellt sind und das Vorhandensein erdverlegter Kabel und Rohrleitungen beim Ausheben
von Gräben oder allgemein bei Aushebearbeiten anzeigen.
Die Warneinrichtung kann bandförmig (Typ 1) oder netzförmig (Typ 2) sein.
Dispositifs avertisseurs a caractéristiques visuelles, en matiere plastique, pour câbles et canalisations enterrés
La présente norme spécifie les exigences relatives aux dispositifs avertisseurs a caractéristiques visuelles en matieres plastiques, destinés a indiquer la présence de câbles ou de canalisations enterrés, lors d'ouvertures de fouilles et, plus généralement, pendant les travaux d'excavation.
Les dispositifs avertisseurs peuvent se présenter sous forme de bandes (Type 1) ou de grillage (Type 2).

Page 3EN 12613:2001ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 " Plastics", thesecretariat of which is held by IBN.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of anidentical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2001, and conflicting national standards shallbe withdrawn at the latest by October 2001.This standard includes two normative annexes A and B, specifying test methods.This standard specifies the requirements of warning devices for the manual or mechanized laying ofcables and piping in the ground such as electric cables, pipelines for pressurized or unpressurizedfluids. These warning devices have a triple aim, warning of the presence of a pipeline, or a cable,when opening a trench, indicating its orientation and identifying the equipment protected.The life expectancy of the warning devices should be at least equal to that of the equipment with whichit is associated.The test methods and the corresponding requirements relate to the constituent material and to thefunctional characteristics (fitness for purpose) of the warning device.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of thefollowing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, CzechRepublic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 12613:2002
