1 Scope
This document specifies general requirements to be respected in product standards
for components such as pipes, fittings, inspection chambers and manholes with their respective joints intended for use in drains and sewers inside and outside buildings which operate
as gravity systems allowing for a maximum pressure of 40 kPa.
It also specifies general requirements for components used in hydraulically and pneumatically
pressurized pipes, drains and sewers.
NOTE 1 Where the term “inside buildings” is used in the context of components fixed inside
buildings, it also includes pipes and fittings fixed on external surfaces of buildings.
NOTE 2 This document is not a product standard and therefore not intended for the direct
evaluation of products.
This document covers components to be used in conveying in a satisfactory manner:
— domestic wastewater;
— rainwater and surface water;
— other wastewater acceptable for discharge into the system.
This document is applicable to components of circular and other cross sections.
This document is equally applicable ...
