Overview
EN 1916:2002 is a CEN European Standard that specifies performance requirements and test methods for precast concrete pipes and fittings - unreinforced, steel‑fibre and reinforced - with flexible joints. It applies to units used mainly for the conveyance of sewage, rainwater and surface water under gravity or occasionally at low head of pressure in generally buried pipelines. The standard covers nominal circular bores up to DN 3200 and egg‑shaped bores up to WN/HN 1400/2100 and defines joint seal options (integrated or supplied separately).
Key Topics and Technical Requirements
- Material and concrete quality: requirements for concrete materials, water/cement content, chloride limits and water absorption.
- Unit geometry and finish: dimensional and surface finish requirements for precast units.
- Joints and joint seals: definitions and test/calculation methods (Annex A) for flexible joint seals, including hydrostatic and joint assembly tests (Annex E).
- Structural performance:
- Crushing strength test methods and expression of results (Annex C).
- Longitudinal bending moment resistance tests (Annex D).
- Serviceability and durability criteria.
- Special requirements: provisions specific to steel‑fibre concrete, reinforced concrete and jacking pipes (including jacking loads and concrete cover).
- Testing and conformity: initial type testing, factory production control (FPC), further factory sampling and tasks for certification bodies (conformity evaluation).
- Marking: required product identification and traceability information.
Practical Applications
EN 1916:2002 is intended for practical use where reliable, tested precast concrete pipes are required:
- Gravity sewer and stormwater drainage networks
- Surface water conveyance and culverts
- Buried pipeline installations subject to low internal pressure
- Pipe jacking installations (with specific jacking provisions)
This standard ensures products meet minimum structural, watertightness and durability performance for long‑term service.
Who Uses This Standard
- Precast concrete manufacturers and product engineers (production and design)
- Civil and drainage system designers and consulting engineers
- Testing laboratories and certification bodies (initial type tests, FPC)
- Contractors, utilities and municipal authorities specifying products for sewer and stormwater systems
Related standards and governance
EN 1916:2002 is a European Committee for Standardization (CEN) technical standard adopted by national bodies; users should reference relevant national transpositions and complementary standards for materials, installation and environmental exposure where applicable.
