Wastewater lifting plants for buildings and sites - Part 3: Lifting plants for limited applications

This part of this European Standard applies to lifting plants for limited applications for wastewater containing or not containing faecal matter and located below flood level. NOTE Limited application means that the number of users is small and the plant is located in the same room as the sanitary appliance(s) served by it which are installed in accordance with EN 12056-1 and the layout and calculation are in accordance with EN 12056-4. Lifting plants for limited applications for wastewater containing faecal matter are those, where there is another WC available above flood level, and the plants serve no more than a single WC to which it is directly connected (at a distance of max. 0,5 m) and one wash-hand basin, one shower and one bidet provided no other sanitary appliance is directly or indirectly connected. Lifting plants for limited applications for faecal free wastewater are those where a maximum of one hand wash basin or kitchen sink plus one further appliance such as a bathtub or a washing machine or a shower or a dish washer are connected. No other sanitary appliance shall be directly or indirectly connected. This part of this standard contains general requirements, basic construction and testing principles, together with information on materials and conformity evaluation. Construction and testing requirements for non-return valves used in wastewater lifting plants for limited applications are given in EN 12050-4. This standard does not apply for lifting plants for limited applications for wastewater containing faecal matter where WC flushing is carried out by pressure flushing devices.

Črpališča odpadne vode za stavbe in zemljišča - 3. del: Črpališča odpadne vode za omejeno uporabo

Ta del evropskega standarda se uporablja za črpališča odpadne vode s fekalijami ali brez njih za omejeno uporabo, ki so pod poplavno ravnjo. OPOMBA: Omejena uporaba pomeni, da je število uporabnikov majhno in da je črpališče v istem prostoru kot sanitarna oprema, s katero deluje in ki je nameščena v skladu s standardom EN 12056-1, ter da sta razporeditev in izračun skladna s standardom EN 12056-4. Črpališča odpadne vode s fekalijami za omejeno uporabo so tista, kjer je nad poplavno ravnjo še eno stranišče in se črpališča uporabljajo samo za eno stranišče, s katerim so neposredno povezana (na razdalji največ 0,5 m), ter en umivalnik, ena prha in en bide, pri čemer ni neposredno ali posredno povezana nobena druga sanitarna oprema. Črpališča odpadne vode brez fekalij za omejeno uporabo so tista, pri katerih sta priključena največ en umivalnik ali kuhinjsko korito in še ena dodatna oprema, na primer kopalna kad ali pralni stroj ali prha ali pomivalni stroj. Neposredno ali posredno ne sme biti priključena nobena druga sanitarna oprema. Ta del tega standarda vsebuje splošne zahteve, osnovna načela zasnove in preskušanja, skupaj z informacijami o materialih ter vrednotenju skladnosti. Zahteve za zasnovo in preskušanje nepovratnih ventilov, ki se uporabljajo v črpališčih odpadne vode za omejeno uporabo, so določene v standardu EN 12050-4. Ta standard se ne uporablja za črpališča odpadne vode s fekalijami za omejeno uporabo, pri katerih se splakovanje stranišča izvaja s tlačnimi splakovalnimi napravami.
