Overview
EN 13598-1:2020 is a CEN European Standard for plastics piping systems used in non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage. It specifies definitions, material and performance requirements, jointing and marking for ancillary fittings and shallow chambers manufactured from PVC‑U, PP, PP‑MD or PE. The standard covers products intended for use outside buildings (application code “U”) and for combined inside/outside use (code “UD”) and is aimed at gravity drainage and sewerage systems.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and marking
- Applies to ancillary fittings (sealed access fittings, rodding point covers, rodding tees, mechanical saddles) and shallow chambers.
- Products are marked to indicate application area “U” or “UD”.
- Materials
- Acceptable thermoplastics: unplasticized PVC (PVC‑U), polypropylene (PP), PP with mineral modifier (PP‑MD), and polyethylene (PE).
- Manufacture by injection moulding, rotational moulding, spiral winding or fabrication from compliant components.
- Installation limits
- Ancillary fittings: installation depth up to 6.0 m from ground level (except rodding point covers).
- Shallow chambers: for private drains in pedestrian areas, above the groundwater table, to a maximum depth of 2.0 m to the invert of the main channel.
- Performance and characteristics
- Requirements cover geometrical dimensions, mechanical and physical characteristics, sealing rings, adhesives, and jointing to the pipework system.
- Includes test methods and performance criteria (mechanical strength, tightness, resistance to vertical loading).
- Documentation and marking
- Minimum marking and additional documentation requirements for sealed access fittings, rodding tees, mechanical saddles and shallow chambers.
- Compatibility and conformity
- Products conforming to EN 13598‑1 also comply with the general requirements of EN 476 and may be used with pipes/fittings conforming to relevant plastics product standards when dimensions are compatible.
- Annexes
- Normative annexes address use of non‑virgin materials for shallow chambers, test methods for mechanical saddles, and vertical loading resistance.
Applications and users
- Targeted users: manufacturers, product designers, specifiers, civil and drainage engineers, utilities, installers, testing laboratories and authorities.
- Typical applications:
- Access points, rodding points and tees for sewer maintenance in pedestrian areas.
- Mechanical saddles and rodding tees for connections in vehicular trafficked areas (where permitted).
- Shallow inspection chambers for private drains and small networks above groundwater.
- Benefits: ensures consistent product performance, safe jointing to piping systems, clear marking for application area, and regulatory compliance across Europe.

Ancillary fittings can be installed to a maximum depth of 6,0 m from ground level, with the exception of
rodding point covers.
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 channel. This document covers shallow chambers with flow profile bases, and their joints to the
piping system.
NOTE 2 Manholes and inspection chambers are specified in EN 13598-2 [1].
Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers complying with this document also comply with the general
requirements given in EN 476.
Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers can be manufactured by various methods e.g. injection moulding,
rotational moulding, spiral winding or fabricated from components made to other standards.

The standard EN 13598-1:2020 focuses on the specifications for ancillary fittings and shallow chambers used in non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage systems, specifically crafted from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE). The scope is comprehensive, detailing the definitions and requirements necessary for ensuring that these fittings are suitable for various applications, including those located within and outside building structures. One significant strength of this standard is its thoroughness in addressing the compatibility of materials. By allowing for the use of PP with mineral modifier (PP-MD) and specifying the interconnectedness with other plastics product standards, it ensures manufacturers can maintain product integrity across a variety of applications. This adaptability is crucial in real-world settings where diverse materials interact within drainage systems. Moreover, the standard provides clear markings for products intended for specific applications, denoting the distinctions between fittings suitable for pedestrian areas versus those that may also be employed in vehicular trafficked environments. This clarity aids manufacturers and builders in selecting appropriate fittings tailored to their project needs while adhering to safety regulations. The installation guidance included in EN 13598-1:2020, allowing ancillary fittings to be installed to a depth of up to 6.0 m and shallow chambers up to 2.0 m, covers crucial safety and operational considerations. Importantly, the standard states that no additional static calculations are necessary for underground applications, simplifying the installation process and reducing the potential for errors, which is a considerable advantage in fast-paced construction environments. Focusing on quality control, the standard also emphasizes the manufacturing methods that can be used for ancillary fittings and shallow chambers, promoting best practices in production. Furthermore, the compliance with general requirements outlined in EN 476 ensures that these fittings not only meet specific performance criteria but also adhere to broader safety and reliability standards. The EN 13598-1:2020 document ultimately serves as a critical framework for manufacturers and engineers involved in the construction and maintenance of drainage and sewerage systems. Its relevance is heightened by the increasing demand for effective drainage solutions that accommodate modern infrastructure's complexities, ensuring compliance within varying regulatory environments. Overall, this standard provides a robust foundation for ensuring that ancillary fittings and shallow chambers are safe, durable, and effective in their designated applications.
