This standard specifies general requirements and testing methods for steps manufactured from cast iron, steel or aluminium, for use in manholes and other underground man entry chambers as a means of access.
This standard specifies performance criteria for mechanical stability and resistance providing protection against falling. Corresponding test methods and evaluation of conformity are included.
The steps specified in this European Standard are suitable for use in sewage, surface water  and, subject to the requirements of national regulations, potable water environments.
Where steps are to be used in particular corrosive environments, e.g. industrial effluents, additional protection may be required.
This standard does not apply for steps moulded in prefabricated manholes of the same material.

This standard classifies gullies, gives guidance for places of installation and specifies requirements for the construction, design, performance and marking of factory made gullies for buildings, irrespective of material, for use in drainage systems operating under gravity including siphonic systems. Note: Although normally used to convey domestic waste water, industrial waste water and rainwater, gullies can convey other waste water provided there is no risk of damage to components or of injury to health. This standard does not apply to gully tops and manhole tops which are specified in EN 124.
