Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage - Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) - Part 2: Specifications for manholes and inspection chambers in traffic areas and deep underground installations

This European Standard specifies the definitions and requirements for buried manholes and inspection chambers installed to a maximum depth of 6 m from ground level to the invert of the main chamber and manufactured from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP), polypropylene with mineral modifier (PP-MD) or polyethylene (PE). These products are intended for use in traffic areas and underground installations conforming to the general requirements given EN 476 and are used outside the building structure (application area code "U"). They are therefore marked accordingly with a "U".
This European Standard is only applicable to those chamber / manhole items where the manufacturer has clearly stated in the documentation how the components shall be assembled to create a complete manhole or inspection chamber.
The inspection chambers covered by this standard comprise the following:
-   inspection chambers providing access to the drainage or sewerage system by means of inspection and cleaning equipment.
-   chambers, designated as manholes providing man access to the drainage or sewerage system.  
The inspection chamber / manhole can be manufactured by various methods e.g. injection moulding, rotational moulding, low-pressure moulding or fabricated from components made in accordance with other standards.
The jointing of components can be achieved using:
-   elastomeric ring seal joints;
-   adhesive joints for PVC-U;
-   welded joints for PVC-U, PP and PE;
-   extrusion welding;
-   mechanical jointing.

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Begriffe und Anforderungen an erdverlegte Einsteigschächte und Kontroll-schächte bei einer Verlegetiefe von bis zu 6 m fest, gemessen zwischen Geländeoberkante und Sohle des Hauptschachtes, die aus weichmacherfreiem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC U), Polypropylen (PP), Polypropylen mit mineralischen Additiven (PP-MD) oder Polyethylen (PE) hergestellt sind. Diese Produkte sind für den Einsatz in Verkehrsflächen für Fußgänger- und Fahrzeugverkehr und für erdverlegte Anwendungen entsprechend den allgemeinen Anforderungen nach EN 476 sowie in Anwendungen außerhalb von Gebäuden vorgesehen (Anwendungscode „U“). Dementsprechend sind sie mit der Kennzeichnung „U“ versehen. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass derartige Produkte auch die Anforderungen von EN 13598-1 für den Anwendungsbereich „U“ erfüllen, ohne dass weitere Prüfungen erforderlich sind. Wenn die Produkte zusätzlich mit dem Anwendungscode „D“ gekennzeichnet sind, müssen sie zusätzlich geprüft werden, um die Erfüllung der Anforderung „Temperaturwechselbeanspruchung“ in Abschnitt 10 von EN 13598-1 nachzuweisen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt ausschließlich für solche Kontroll-/Einsteigschacht-Produkte, für die in der Dokumentation des Herstellers eindeutig angegeben ist, wie die einzelnen Bauteile zusammenzubauen sind, um einen vollständigen Einsteig- oder Kontrollschacht zu montieren.
Die in dieser Norm behandelten Kontrollschächte umfassen Folgendes:
   Kontrollschächte, die das Einbringen von Inspektions- und Reinigungsausrüstung in das Entwässerungs- oder Abwassersystem zulassen;
   Schächte, die als Einsteigschächte bezeichnet werden und den Zugang von Personal zum Ent-wässerungs- oder Abwassersystem ermöglichen.
Der Kontroll-/Einsteigschacht kann in verschiedenen Verfahren hergestellt werden, z. B. Spritzgießen, Rotationsgießen, Niederdruckgießen oder Fertigung aus Bauteilen, die nach anderen Normen hergestellt wurden.

EN 13598-2:2009 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13598-2:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. 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 July 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This European standard is a supplementary standard for System Standards for plastics piping systems of a particular material for a specified application. There are a number of such System Standards. System Standards are based on the results of the work being undertaken in ISO/TC 138 “Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the transport of fluids”, which is a Technical Committee of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). They are supported by separate standards on test methods and by European Standards for thermoplastic underground drainage and sewerage systems, to which references are made throughout the System Standard. The System Standards are consistent with general standards on functional requirements and on recommended practice for installation. This European Standard consists of the following parts under the general title Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage  Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).  Part 1: Specification for ancillary fittings including shallow inspection chambers  Part 2: Specifications for manholes and inspection chambers in traffic areas and deep underground installation (this standard)  Part 3: Assessment of conformity (CEN/TS under preparation) According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 13598-2:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the definitions and requirements for buried manholes and inspection chambers installed to a maximum depth of 6 m from ground level to the invert of the main chamber and manufactured from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP), polypropylene with mineral modifier (PP-MD) or polyethylene (PE). These products are intended for use in pedestrian or vehicular traffic areas and underground installations conforming to the general requirements given in EN 476 and are used outside the building structure (application area code “U”). They are therefore marked accordingly with a “U”. Such products are also deemed to meet the requirements of EN 13598-1 for application area U without the need for further testing. If additionally marked application area D then these products must additionally be tested to show compliance to the elevated temperature cycling requirement of Clause 10 of EN 13598-1. This European Standard is only applicable to those chamber / manhole items where the manufacturer has clearly stated in the documentation how the components shall be assembled to create a complete manhole or inspection chamber. The inspection chambers covered by this European Standard comprise the following:  inspection chambers providing access to the drainage or sewerage system by means of inspection and cleaning equipment.
 chambers, designated as manholes providing man access to the drainage or sewerage system.
The inspection chamber / manhole can be manufactured by various methods e.g. injection moulding, rotational moulding, low-pressure moulding or fabricated from components made in accordance with other standards. The jointing of components can be achieved using:
 elastomeric ring seal joints;  adhesive joints for PVC-U;  welded joints for PVC-U, PP and PE;  extrusion welding;  mechanical jointing. NOTE
Both manholes and inspection chambers can be site assembled from different components, but can also be manufactured as a single unit. In either case, the following functional parts can be recognized: a)
base (always present) In case of a one-piece chamber or manhole, the base part ends at a distance of 300 mm measured from the top of the main channel; b)
riser (depth dependent); c)
telescopic part (design dependent); d)
cone (dependent on the design of near surface components and their recommended installation); e)
other near surface components 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
