This document (EN 13476-3:2007) 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2007. This standard is a Part of a System Standard for plastics piping systems of particular materials 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 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 13476 consists of the following Parts under the general title Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage - Structured-wall piping systems of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE): — Part 1: General requirements and performance characteristics; — Part 2: Specifications for pipes and fittings with smooth internal and external surface and the system, Type A; — Part 3: Specifications for pipes and fittings with smooth internal and profiled external surface and the system, Type B (this standard); — Part 4: Assessment of conformity (CEN/TS); — Part 5: Guidance for installation (CEN/TS).1 For pipes and fittings which have conformed to the relevant national standard before May 2007, as shown by the manufacturer or by a certification body, the national standard may continue to be applied until May 2009.
National standards specifically for pipes and fittings for the transport of surface water are not considered to be conflicting with this standard and may thus be allowed to coexist. 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 United Kingdom.

In the case where a raw material because of its MFR tolerance arbitrarily fall in one of two adjacent classes the manufacturer of the components may mark the MFR class on the product as follows: — MFR value across the border between A and B it is permitted to classify as class A; — MFR value across the border between B and C it is permitted to classify as class C; — MFR value across the border between C and D it is permitted to classify as class D. 4.3.4 Utilisation of non-virgin materials For the utilisation of non-virgin PP materials conditions and requirements are given in Annex D. NOTE Annex J gives a survey of the possible use of reprocessable and recyclable materials.
