European foreword
This document (EN 1401-1:2019) 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 January 2020, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1401-1:2009.
This revision of the EN 1401 series is proposed by CEN/TC155/WG6 members in order to improve the
"level of sustainability" and the "environmental impact" of PVC piping systems, whilst improving the
recommendations and safe use of recycled material. Recycled material is categorized as non-virgin
material in this document.
Regarding this specific target, some superfluous requirements and inconsistencies existing in the old
version of EN 1401-1 were deleted, and more focus was given to the control of applied formulation and
to the final characteristics and performance of products.
Compared to the previous version, the main changes are listed below:
a) clarification of product covered (Clause 1);
b) introduction of a new pipe series SN 16 (SDR 27,6) (7.2.5 and 7.4.1.2);
c) deletion of former clause on dimension of "o-ring type joints";
d) complete review of non-virgin (recyclates) material use (Clause 5 and Annex A);
e) addition of a footnote e) to Table 14 for DSC to lower the minimum B-onset temperature to 180 °C
for formulation with CaZn stabilizers.
This document is a Part of a System Standard 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 undertaken in ISO/TC 138 "Plastics pipes,
fittings and valves for the transport of fluids", which is a Technical Committee of the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
They are supported by separate standards on test methods 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.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1401-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics
piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1401-1:2009.
This revision of the EN1401 series is proposed by CEN/TC155/WG6 members in order to improve the
'level of sustainability' and the 'environmental impact' of PVC piping systems, whilst improving the
recommendations and safe use of recycled material. Regarding this specific target, some superfluous
requirements and inconsistencies existing in the old version of EN 1401-1 were deleted, and more focus
was given to the control of applied formulation and to the final characteristics and performance of
products
Compared to the previous version, the main changes are listed below:
a) clarification of product covered (Clause 1);
b) introduction of a new pipe series SN 16 (SDR 27,6) (7.2.5 and 7.4.1.2);
c) deletion of former clause on dimension of "o-ring type joints";
d) complete review of non-virgin (recyclates) material use (Clause 5 and Annex A);
e) addition of a footnote e) to Table 13 for DSC to lower the minimum B-onset temperature to 180 °C
for formulation with CaZn stabilizers.
This document is a Part of a System Standard 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 undertaken in ISO/TC 138 "Plastics pipes,
fittings and valves for the transport of fluids", which is a Technical Committee of the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
They are supported by separate standards on test methods 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.
EN 1401 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):
— Part 1: Specifications for pipes, fittings and the system (this document)
— Part 2: Guidance for assessment of conformity (under revision)

1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for solid wall pipes with smooth internal and external
surfaces, extruded from the same formulation throughout the wall, fittings and the system of
unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) piping systems in the field of non-pressure underground
drainage and sewerage:
— buried in ground outside the building structure (application area code "U"), and
— both buried in ground, within the building structure (application area code "D") and outside the
building.
This is reflected in the marking of products by "U" and "UD".
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this document.
NOTE 1 Solid wall multilayer pipes with different formulations throughout the wall and foamed core pipes are
covered by EN 13476-2 [1] (see also CEN ISO/TR 27165 [2]).
This document covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipes and fittings series and a range of
stiffness classes and gives recommendations concerning colours.
NOTE 2 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selection from these
aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation
practices or codes.
In conjunction with prCEN/TS 1401-2 [3], it is applicable to PVC-U pipes and fittings, their joints and to
joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for buried
piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage.
NOTE 3 Pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics product standards listed in
Annex C can be used with pipes and fittings conforming to this document, provided they conform to the
requirements for joint dimensions given in Clause 7 and to the requirements of Table 15.
