This European Standard specifies the requirements and associated test methods applicable to ductile iron pipes, fittings, accessories and their joints for the construction of pipelines:
   to convey water (e. g. potable water);
   with or without pressure;
   to be installed below or above ground.
This standard is applicable to pipes, fittings and accessories which are:
   manufactured with socketed, flanged or spigot ends;
   normally delivered externally and internally coated;
   suitable for fluid temperatures between 0 °C and 50 °C, excluding frost.
This standard covers pipes, fittings and accessories cast by any type of foundry process or manufactured by fabrication of cast components, as well as corresponding joints, in a size range extending from DN 40 to DN 2 000, inclusive.
This standard specifies requirements for materials, dimensions and tolerances, mechanical properties and standard coatings of ductile iron pipes and fittings. It also gives performance requirements for all components including joints. Joint design and gasket shapes are outside the scope of this standard.

4 Technical requirements
4.1 General
4.1.1 Ductile iron pipes and fittings
Nominal sizes, thickness classes, lengths and coatings are specified in 4.1.1, 4.2.1, 4.2.3, 4.4 and 4.5 respectively.
When, by agreement between manufacturer and purchaser, pipes and fittings with different wall thickness classes,
lengths and/or coatings and other types of fittings than those given in 8.3 and 8.4, are supplied with reference to
this standard, they shall comply with all the other requirements of this standard.
NOTE 1 Other types of fittings include angle branches, tees and tapers with other combinations DN x dn, draining tees, …
The standardized nominal sizes DN of pipes and fittings are as follows: (see EN 805) 40, 50, 60, 65, 80, 100, 125,
150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1 000, 1 100, 1 200, 1 400, 1 500, 1 600, 1 800, 2 000.
The allowable pressures of ductile iron pipes and fittings shall be as given in Annex A.

SIST EN 545:2007
EN 545:2006 (E)
NOTE 2 Annexes B and C give respectively the longitudinal bending resistance and the diametral stiffness of ductile iron
pipes.
NOTE 3 When installed and operated under the conditions for which they are designed (see Annexes D, E and G), ductile
iron pipes, fittings, accessories and their joints maintain all their functional characteristics over their operating life, due to the
constant material properties, to the stability of their cross section and to their design with high safety factors.
4.1.2 Surface condition and repair
Pipes, fittings and accessories shall be free from defects and surface imperfections which can lead to non-
compliance with Clause 4 and Clause 5.
When necessary, pipes and fittings may be repaired, for example by welding, in order to remove surface
imperfections and localized defects which do not extend through the entire wall thickness, provided that :
 the repairs are carried out according to the manufacturer’s written procedure;
 the repaired pipes and fittings comply with all the requirements of Clause 4 and Clause 5.
4.1.3 Types of joints and interconnection
4.1.3.1 General
Rubber gasket materials shall comply with the requirements of EN 681-1, type WA. When materials other than
rubber are necessary (e.g. for flanged joints), they shall comply with the appropriate European Standard or, where
no European Standard exists, the appropriate International Standard.
4.1.3.2 Flanged joints
Flanges shall be constructed in such a way that they can be attached to flanges whose dimensions and tolerances
comply with EN 1092-2. This ensures interconnection between all flanged components (pipes, fittings, valves,.) of
the same PN and DN and adequate joint performance.
Bolts and nuts shall comply as a minimum with the requirements of EN ISO 4016 and EN ISO 4034, grade 4.6.
When applicable, washers shall comply with EN ISO 7091.
Although it does not affect interconnection, the manufacturer shall state in his catalogues whether his products are
normally delivered with fixed flanges or adjustable flanges.
NOTE Flange gaskets can be one of those given in EN 1514.
4.1.3.3 Flexible joints
Pipes and fittings with flexible joints shall comply with 4.2.2.1 for their spigot external diameter DE and their
tolerances. This offers the possibility of interconnection between components equipped with different types of
flexible joints. In addition, each type of flexible joint shall be designed to fulfil the performance requirements of
Clause 5.
NOTE 1 For interconnection with certain types of joints operating within a different tolerance range on DE, the
manufacturer’s guidance should be followed as to the means of ensuring adequate joint performance at high pressures (e.g.
measurement and selection of external diameter).
NOTE 2 For interconnection with existing pipelines which can have external diameters not in compliance with 4.2.2.1, the
manufacturer’s guidance should be followed as to the appropriate means of interconnection (e.g. adaptors).
4.1.4 Materials in contact with water intended for human consumption
Ductile iron pipes, fittings and their joints include several materials given in this standard. When used under the
conditions for which they are designed, in permanent or in temporary contact with water intended for human
consumption, ductile iron pipes, fittings and their joints shall not change the quality of that water to such an extent
that it fails to comply with the requirements of national regulations.

SIST EN 545:2007
EN 545:2006 (E)
For this purpose, reference shall be made to the relevant national regulations and standards, transposing EN
standards when available, dealing with the influence of materials on water quality and to the requirements for
external systems and components as given in EN 805.
NOTE A European Acceptance Scheme (EAS) is in course of development in relation to the Construction Products
Directive and to the Drinking Water Directive ; its requirements will be introduced in this standard when completed.
4.2 Dimensional requirements
4.2.1 Wall thickness
4.2.1.1 General
The thickness shall be calculated either by the K class formula for pipes and fittings (see 4.2.1.2) or defined
according to 4.2.1.3 for Class 40 pipes of DN 40 to DN 400.
For pipes, the standardized thickness classes are given in 8.1. Other thicknesses are possible for pipes by
agreement between manufacturer and purchaser.
For fittings, the thickness e given in tables and on figures of 8.3 and 8.4 is the nominal thickness corresponding to
the main part of the body. The actual thickness at any particular point may be increased to meet localized high
stresses depending on the shape of the casting (e.g. at internal radius of bends, at the branch-body junction of
tees,.).
Annex A gives the maximum values of PFA, PMA and PEA.
4.2.1.2 K classes for pipes and fittings
The nominal iron wall thickness of pipes and fittings is given as a function of the nominal size, DN, by the following
formula, with a minimum of 6 mm for pipes and 7 mm for fittings:
e = K(0,5 + 0,001 DN) (2)
where:
e is the nominal wall thickness, in millimetres;
DN is the nominal size;
K is a coefficient used for the determination of the thickness. It is selected from a series of whole numbers :.
8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
4.2.1.3 Class 40 for pipes
The nominal iron wall thickness of pipes DN 40 to DN 400 is given as a function of the nominal size, DN, in
Table 15.
4.2.1.4 Tolerance
The tolerance on the nominal wall thickness of pipes and fittings shall be as given in Table 1. The measurement of
the wall thickness shall be in accordance with 6.1.1.

8.1 specifies the values of the external diameter DE of the coated spigot ends of pipes and fittings and their
maximum allowable tolerances, when measured using a circumferential tape in accordance with 6.1.2. These
tolerances apply to the spigot ends of all thickness classes of pipes and fittings.
NOTE 1 Certain types of flexible joints operate within a different range of tolerance (see 4.1.3.3).
For DN ≤ 300, the external diameter of the pipe barrel measured with a circumferential tape shall be such as to
