This document specifies the general terms and definitions relevant to the utilization of thermoplastics materials in a circular economy in pipes, fittings and ancillaries for both pressure and non-pressure piping systems. This document is intended to be used by specification writers in conjunction with CEN/TS 14541-2 [7] when preparing normative documents under the scope of CEN/TC 155.

This document specifies requirements for testing of products manufactured from vitrified clay and other materials specified in the following standards: - pipes, fittings and joints according to EN 295-1; - adaptors, connectors and flexible couplings according to EN 295-4; - perforated pipes and fittings according to EN 295-5; - components of manholes and inspection chambers according to EN 295 6; - pipes and joints for pipe jacking according to EN 295-7.

This document specifies the definitions and requirements for solid wall pipes with smooth internal and external surfaces, extruded from the same formulation throughout the wall, fittings and the system of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) piping systems in the field of non-pressure underground drains and sewers for wastewater. NOTE 1 Products complying with this document can also be used in non-pressure underground drains and sewers for surface water. This document also specifies test methods and test parameters. This document is applicable to: - solid wall pipes and fittings which are intended to be used buried underground outside the building structure reflected in the marking of the products by “U”, and - solid wall pipes and fittings which are intended to be used buried underground both outside (application area code “U”) and within the building structure reflecting on the marking of products by “UD”. NOTE 2 Multilayer pipes with different formulations throughout the wall and foamed core pipes are covered by EN 13476-2 [1]. This document covers a range of pipe and fitting sizes, stiffness classes, and gives recommendations concerning colours. NOTE 3 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selection from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes. In conjunction with CEN/TS 1401 2 [7] it is applicable to PVC-U pipes and fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended for buried piping systems for non-pressure underground drains and sewers. NOTE 4 Pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics product standards listed in Annex C can be used with pipes and fittings conforming to this document, provided they conform to the requirements for joint dimensions given in Clause 10 and to the requirements of Table 16.
