This document specifies a procedure for the evaluation of centreline segregation of continuously cast slabs, including sampling, sample preparation and evaluation method. This document is applicable for low carbon steel slabs for pipe production manufactured by continuous casting. These steels have a typical chemical composition as follows (mass percentages): — C ≤ 0,12 % — Mn ≤ 2,0 % — Si ≤ 0,5 % — Ti + Nb + V ≤ 0,2 % The common dimensions of these slabs are in the following ranges: — Slab width: 800 mm to 2 600 mm — Slab thickness: 150 mm to 450 mm The evaluation methods covered by this document are based on macroscopic etching of slab samples followed by visual inspection by means of human eye or camera systems. The procedures for sampling described in 5.1 to 5.3 of this document are applicable to steels slabs in general (e. g. other steel grades or dimensions). However, the etching procedure (see 5.4) in combination with the evaluation methods described in Clause 6 have been developed especially for the application on pipeline steels as given above. Thus, they are not applicable to other steel grades, product types or dimensions without a prior validation. Any extension or modification beyond the scope of this document necessitates a separate agreement between producer and customer.

This document specifies the requirements for the design, performance and testing of fittings made of malleable cast iron (see also Clause 5 "Materials") with compression ends for polyethylene piping systems.
This document applies to piping systems in polyethylene (PE) materials for different application fields, such as supply and distribution of gas, water for general purposes (irrigation, etc.) as well as for human consumption, aqueous liquids and pressurized air.
NOTE Products complying with this document used for water applications intended for human consumption are expected to comply with the relevant national, regional or local regulatory provisions applicable in the place of use. Due to the variety and dynamic of the requirements, it is advisable to check the compliance.
The malleable cast iron fittings specified in this document are of compression end type for the connection of PE pipes or of transition type with combined compression ends for pipes in different materials or with combined compression and threaded ends in conformance with EN 10226 1. Their range of sizes covers nominal outside diameters of PE pipes dn 16 mm to dn 110 mm (DN 10 to DN 100) and pipe thread sizes 3/8 to 4.

This document gives guidance on the structural design of underground modular systems for infiltration, attenuation and storage of surface water under various conditions of loading. The procedures are explained, with the appropriate variables in the design formulae, and provides graphical information on vehicle surcharge loadings.
These modular systems are constructed from multiple cuboid shaped thermoplastic boxes generally with ancillary components such as inlet/outlet connectors, vents, and access/inspection provision. This guidance is for the design of modular systems conforming to EN 17152 1.
The boxes, including integral components, are injection moulded, extruded or thermoformed thermoplastics, manufactured from polypropylene (PP) or unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), and are intended to be used as elements in a modular system where the manufacturer has clearly stated in the documentation how the components are assembled to create a complete infiltration, attenuation or storage system.
Outside the scope of this document are the following conditions:
- seismic loads;
- lateral loads from adjacent structures and embankments;
- influence of trees;
- backfill materials not according to CEN/TR 17179 [1].
Geotextile and/or geomembrane used with modular systems are outside the scope of this document.
