Overview
EN 681-4:2000/A1:2002 is a CEN European standard (amendment A1 to EN 681-4:2000) that specifies material requirements for cast polyurethane sealing elements used in pipe joints for water and drainage applications. The standard covers seals for sewerage and drainage systems (explicitly excluding uses in contact with water intended for human consumption) and aligns with EU Construction Products Directive requirements for conformity assessment and CE marking.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Material requirements - Defines properties and acceptance criteria for cast polyurethane used in sealing elements (see Clause 3 / “Material requirements”).
- Dimensional tolerance - References ISO 3302-1 for allowable dimensional tolerances of sealing elements (Clause 4.2.1).
- Tightness (gas and liquid) - Specifies tests and threshold criteria for leakage performance (Clauses 4.2.3–4.2.5). Threshold values and test parameters are given in the standard (refer to its Table 1).
- Durability and ageing - Sets requirements for long-term performance and ageing resistance, referencing ISO 188 and ISO 3384 (Clauses 4.2.6–4.2.7).
- Relevant test methods - Cross-references ISO test standards including ISO 37, ISO 48, ISO 815 for mechanical and physical characterization.
- Factory production control (FPC) - Requires manufacturers to establish FPC processes (Clause 6) and maintain records to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
- Conformity assessment & CE marking - Annex ZA describes attestation of conformity (System 4 for the intended uses noted), requirements for initial type testing, manufacturer’s declaration of conformity, and CE marking information to be supplied with products.
Practical applications
- Ensuring that cast polyurethane seals used in sewer and drainage pipe joints meet harmonized European material and performance requirements.
- Providing a basis for quality control, type testing and factory production control by manufacturers.
- Supporting procurement specifications and acceptance criteria for infrastructure projects (stormwater, wastewater, non‑potable piping).
- Enabling CE marking and demonstrating presumption of fitness under the EU Construction Products Directive for the stated uses.
Who should use this standard
- Manufacturers of cast polyurethane pipe joint seals and rubber-to-polyurethane compounders
- Test laboratories and certification bodies performing type testing and FPC audits
- Specifiers, engineers and contractors working on sewerage/drainage systems
- Regulatory authorities and procurement teams requiring compliance evidence
Related standards and references
- ISO 3302-1 (dimensional tolerances)
- ISO 37, ISO 48, ISO 815 (mechanical and physical tests)
- ISO 188, ISO 3384 (ageing/durability)
- EU Construction Products Directive (Annex ZA conformity framework)
