This document is 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 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.

This document specifies the definitions and requirements for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) ancillary fittings and shallow chambers intended for use in non-pressure underground drains and sewers for wastewater.

This document is applicable to:

a)     ancillary fittings and shallow chambers, intended for use buried underground outside the building structure; reflected in the marking of products by “U”;

b)    ancillary fittings and shallow chambers, intended for use buried underground both outside (application area code “U”) and within the building structure, reflected in the marking of products by “UD”.

This document also covers the jointing of the ancillary fittings and shallow chambers to the piping system.

The document is applicable to the following ancillary fittings:

—    sealed access fittings;

—    rodding point covers;

—    rodding tees;

—    mechanical saddles.

Ancillary fittings according to this document are intended for use in pedestrian areas, except rodding tees and mechanical saddles which can also be used in vehicular trafficked areas.

Ancillary fittings can be installed to a maximum depth of 6,0 m from ground level, with the exception of rodding point covers with a maximum depth of 2,0 m.

Shallow chambers according to this document are intended for use in private drains located in pedestrian areas above the ground water table, to a maximum depth of 2,0 m from ground level to the invert of the main flow channel. This document covers shallow chambers having a base with a flow channel and their joints to the piping system.

Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers can be manufactured by various methods e.g. injection moulding, rotational moulding, spiral winding or fabricated.

NOTE 1       Products complying with this document can be used with pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics products standards listed in Annex E, providing their dimensions are compatible.

NOTE 2       Products complying with this document can be installed in underground applications without additional static calculation.

NOTE 3       Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers can be subject to national regulations and / or local provisions.

This document does not cover sewage pump chambers, valve chambers and similar products.

This document specifies the definitions and requirements for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) manholes and inspection chambers having a base with a flow channel and their joints to the piping system, intended for use in non-pressure underground drains and sewers for wastewater, up to a maximum depth of 6 m from ground level to the invert of the flow channel.

This document is applicable to manholes and inspection chambers, intended for use buried in the ground outside a building structure only; reflected by the marking of products by “U”.

This document is applicable to manholes and inspection chambers intended for use in pedestrian or vehicular trafficked areas.

NOTE 2       Products complying with this document can also be used in non-traffic areas.

NOTE 3       Products complying with this document can be installed in underground applications without additional static calculation.

Manhole and inspection chamber components can be manufactured by various methods e.g. extrusion, injection moulding, rotational moulding, low-pressure moulding or factory fabricated.

Manholes and inspection chambers complying with EN 13598‑2 are made from a prescribed set of components that are assembled together or manufactured as a single unit.

NOTE 4       The complete manhole or inspection chamber assembly also includes items which are not specified in this document (for example near surface or surface components such as covers, frames and gratings complying with the relevant part of EN 124[1]).

NOTE 5       Manholes and inspection chambers can be subject to national regulations and / or local provisions.

This document applies to:

a)     manholes, when made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on polyester resin (UP);

b)    inspection chambers, when made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on polyester resin (UP) which are intended to be used with inverts which are at a depth not exceeding 2 m.

These products are intended to be used within a drain or sewer system operating without pressure or occasionally at a head of pressure up to 1 bar.

It applies to products, and their joints, intended for use in buried installations and to be installed by open-trench techniques.

The units have a circular shape with nominal sizes as specified in EN ISO 23856.

The intended use of these products is to provide access to, buried drain or sewer systems for the conveyance of waste water at temperatures up to 50 °C, without pressure or occasionally at a head of pressure up to 1 bar, outside buildings and installed in areas subjected to vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic.

It specifies definitions including symbols, requirements and characteristics of manholes, inspection chambers, joints, materials, test methods and marking.

NOTE          It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.
