This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 10 June 2012 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United
Kingdom.

 Part 3: Specifications for pipes and fittings with smooth internal and profiled external surface and the system,
Type B;
 Part 4: Guidance for the assessment of conformity (this Technical Specification).
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries
are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,

Introduction
Figures 1 and 2 are intended to provide general information on the concept of testing and organisation of those tests
used for the purpose of the assessment of conformity. For each type of test, i.e. type testing (TT), batch release test
(BRT), process verification test (PVT), and audit test (AT), this part of EN 13476 details the applicable characteristics
to be assessed as well as the frequency and sampling of testing.
A typical scheme for the assessment of conformity of compounds/formulations, pipes, fittings, joints or assemblies by
manufacturers is given in Figure 1.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification gives guidance for the assessment of conformity of compounds / formulations, products
and assemblies in accordance with the applicable part(s) of EN 13476-1, EN 13476-2 and EN 13476-3 intended to
be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of
third-party certification procedures.
It is recommended that the quality management system conforms to or is no less stringent than the relevant
requirements to EN ISO 9001:2008 [1].
If third-party certification is involved, it is recommended that the certification body is accredited to EN 45011 [2],
EN 45012 [3] or EN ISO/IEC 17021 [4], as applicable.
In conjunction with EN 13476-1, EN 13476-2 and EN 13476-3 (see Foreword) this document is applicable to Plastics
piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage — Structural-wall piping systems of
unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE):
 for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage outside the building structure (application area code “U”)
reflected in de-marking of products by “U”, and
 for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage for both buried in ground within the building structure
(application area code “D” and outside the building structure (application area code “U”) reflected in de marking
of products by “UD”.
