Overview
EN ISO 13267:2023 (identical to ISO 13267:2022) specifies standardized test methods for buckling resistance of thermoplastics inspection chamber and manhole bases used in non‑pressure underground drainage and sewerage systems. The standard defines how to assess the resistance of chamber and manhole bases to external soil and ground‑water pressure after installation, using either internal negative pressure tests or external hydrostatic pressure testing.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and principle
- Tests simulate in‑service loads from external soil and groundwater acting on the base after installation.
- Two principal approaches: application of a constant internal negative pressure or exposure to a positive external hydrostatic pressure of equivalent magnitude.
- Test assembly and geometry
- Test assembly comprises the base plus sufficient riser to give at least 300 mm height above the main channel.
- Assembly placed free‑standing on a 100 mm sand/granular bed or buried in a test box and backfilled to a minimum of 300 mm above outlets/inlets.
- Apparatus and instrumentation
- Required equipment includes a test box or sealable water tank, end closures, pressure/vacuum source, pressure gauge (±2% accuracy), thermometer (±0.5 °C) and optional deflection measurement (±0.1 mm) when specified.
- Water temperature for submerged tests typically 20 ± 2 °C; ambient test temperature 15–25 °C.
- Conditioning and timing
- Test pieces are conditioned and tested no earlier than 21 days after manufacture, with at least 6 hours in air at 15–25 °C, unless product standards state otherwise.
- Evaluation and reporting
- Monitor deflection where required; inspect visually for cracking or defects at test end. Test report must record test conditions, apparatus, measured pressures/deflections and observations.
Applications and users
This standard is essential for:
- Manufacturers of thermoplastic inspection chambers and manhole bases for product design validation and quality control.
- Testing laboratories performing mechanical and structural type tests for compliance and certification.
- Product specifiers, civil engineers and contractors who need to verify that manhole components meet required buckling resistance under expected backfill and groundwater conditions.
- Authorities and certification bodies establishing product acceptance criteria for non‑pressure drainage systems.
Keywords: EN ISO 13267:2023, thermoplastics inspection chamber, manhole bases, buckling resistance, test methods, non‑pressure underground drainage, hydrostatic pressure, internal negative pressure.

Insgesamt bietet die EN ISO 13267:2023 eine wertvolle Grundlage für die Konstruktion und Prüfung von Thermoplastik-Inspektionsschächten und -schachtunterteilen, die durch ihre Testmethoden für die Buckelbeständigkeit eine wichtige Rolle im Rahmen der Qualitätsstandards für Entwässerungs- und Kanalisationstechnik spielt. Die Norm fördert somit nicht nur die technische Weiterentwicklung, sondern trägt auch zur Standardisierung in einem zunehmend wichtigen Bereich der Infrastruktur bei.
La norme EN ISO 13267:2023 spécifie des méthodes d'essai pour évaluer la résistance des bases des chambres d'inspection et des regards en thermoplastique face à la pression externe du sol et de l'eau souterraine après leur installation. Ce document est particulièrement pertinent dans le cadre des systèmes de canalisations en thermoplastique destinés au drainage et à l'assainissement souterrain non soumis à pression. L'un des points forts de cette norme est son approche méthodique qui assure une évaluation rigoureuse de la durabilité des composants en thermoplastique. En définissant des protocoles d'essai clairs, EN ISO 13267:2023 permet aux fabricants de valider la performance de leurs produits face à des conditions environnementales réelles. Cela favorise une amélioration continue de la qualité des systèmes de drainage. La norme se distingue également par sa pertinence dans un secteur où les enjeux de durabilité et de gestion des ressources en eau sont de plus en plus cruciaux. Grâce à ses méthodes d'évaluation, les acteurs de l'industrie peuvent s'assurer que leurs installations en thermoplastique répondent aux exigences de sécurité et de longévité, renforçant ainsi la fiabilité des infrastructures de drainage. De plus, l'interopérabilité et la standardisation des tests proposés dans EN ISO 13267:2023 permettent une meilleure communication entre les fabricants, les utilisateurs et les régulateurs, facilitant ainsi l'adoption de technologies respectueuses de l'environnement et économiquement viables. La norme joue un rôle essentiel en établissant un cadre de référence pour l'évaluation des systèmes de canalisations en thermoplastique, soulignant ainsi son importance dans le secteur. En résumé, la norme EN ISO 13267:2023 constitue un outil fondamental pour le développement et le test des composants en thermoplastique, garantissant leur conformité et leur performance face aux pressions externes, tout en répondant aux besoins croissants d'innovation et de durabilité dans le domaine du drainage et de l'assainissement.

The EN ISO 13267:2023 standard is pivotal in establishing a reliable framework for assessing the structural integrity of thermoplastics inspection chambers and manhole bases under environmental pressures. Its primary scope focuses on specifying test methods to evaluate the buckling resistance of these systems to external soil and groundwater pressures once they are installed. This is crucial for ensuring the long-term performance and safety of underground drainage and sewerage systems. One of the key strengths of this standard lies in its comprehensive approach to testing, which provides manufacturers and engineers with a clear set of protocols to ensure that their products can withstand the rigors of underground conditions. By addressing the buckling resistance explicitly, it aids in the identification of potential weaknesses in thermoplastics designs, allowing for improvements prior to deployment in field conditions. EN ISO 13267:2023 is particularly relevant in today’s context, where the demand for durable and reliable underground drainage solutions is increasingly paramount. The standard not only helps in maintaining quality but also enhances customer trust by ensuring that products meet rigorous safety parameters. Furthermore, it aligns with evolving environmental standards and regulations, making it a vital reference for professionals in civil engineering, construction, and wastewater management sectors. In summary, the EN ISO 13267:2023 document stands out for its targeted methodologies, addressing a critical aspect of the performance of thermoplastics piping systems in non-pressure underground drainage applications, thereby contributing significantly to the overall integrity and reliability of infrastructure projects.
