Overview

EN 12380:2002 - "Air admittance valves for drainage systems - Requirements, test methods and evaluation of conformity" is a CEN product standard for air admittance valves (AAVs) used inside buildings. It defines performance requirements, standardized test methods and conformity assessment procedures for AAVs installed in gravity drainage systems (used as an alternative to conventional pipe ventilation) in accordance with EN 12056‑2 and EN 12056‑5.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope and purpose: Specifies how to test and demonstrate compliance of AAVs intended to protect water traps by allowing air into drainage pipework while preventing escape of foul air.
• Types and designation: Classification based on permitted location relative to appliance flood level (A = permitted below flood level, B = not permitted) and operating temperature ranges (I, II, III). Example: “A II” permits below-flood-level use and operation from 0 °C to +60 °C.
• Performance definitions:
  • Opening pressure - pressure at the instant the AAV opens.
  • Determined airflow capacity - lowest flow rate producing a pressure of (−250 ± 10) Pa at the manometer tapping.
• Mandatory tests (with apparatus, method and pass/fail criteria):
  • Drop test
  • Airtightness test
  • Endurance and temperature test
  • Opening characteristic and airflow capacity test
  • Effectiveness at temperatures below zero
• Durability, connections and airtightness: Requirements cover materials, sealing, and mechanical integrity to ensure long-term reliable operation.
• Marking, labelling and packaging: Information required for product identification and safe installation.
• Evaluation of conformity: Includes initial type testing (type testing) and factory production control (internal quality control). Annex ZA maps clauses to EU Construction Products Directive provisions and CE marking requirements.

Practical Applications and Users

Who uses EN 12380:2002:

• Manufacturers - to design, test and document AAV performance and to support CE marking and declarations of conformity.
• Test laboratories - to perform standardized tests (airtightness, endurance, airflow capacity) and produce model test reports.
• Specifiers and consulting engineers - to select compliant AAV models for building drainage systems per EN 12056.
• Installers and building inspectors - to verify correct product marking, suitability (type and temperature class) and installed performance.
• Regulatory and certification bodies - to assess conformity with EU directives and national standards.

Practical benefits:

• Ensures reliable protection of traps against siphonage without extensive vertical vent piping.
• Provides consistent, comparable test data for product selection and regulatory compliance.

Related Standards

• Linked to EN 12056‑2 and EN 12056‑5 (gravity drainage system design and installation).
• References multiple piping and seal material standards (EN 681‑1 to EN 681‑4, EN 1329‑1, EN 1451‑1, etc.) for interoperability and materials requirements.
