Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage. Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) - Specifications for pipes, fittings and the system
What is BS EN 1401-1:2019+A1:2023 - Plastics piping systems about?
This mature European standard is the first in a two-part series on plastic piping systems for underground drainage. BS EN 1401-1:2019+A1:2023 specifies PVC-U pipes, fittings and systems that deliver a leak-tight system for non-pressure buried applications and sewerage.
Who is BS EN 1401-1:2019+A1:2023 - Plastics piping systems for?
Producers of plastic pipes, sheet and accessories
Manufacturers/suppliers of PVC drainage and pipeline products and components
Specialist suppliers of building plastics
Providers of water management solutions for the built environment
Suppliers of geosynthetics for civil engineering
Engineering and sustainability consultants, designers and architects
What does BS EN 1401-1:2019+A1:2023 - Plastics piping systems cover?
It specifies 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 drainage and sewerage:
Buried in ground outside the building structure (application area code “U”)
Both buried in ground, within the building structure and outside the building (application area code “UD”)
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in the document.
BS EN 1401-1:2019+A1:2023 covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipes and fittings series and a range of stiffness classes and gives recommendations concerning colours.
It applies 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 drainage and sewerage.
