Die Norm EN 124-5:2015 befasst sich mit den Gully- und Schachtabdeckungen aus Verbundwerkstoffen, die in Bereichen für Fußgänger und Fahrzeuge eingesetzt werden. Der Umfang dieser europäischen Norm ist klar definiert und gilt insbesondere für die Abdeckungen, die unter speziellen, kontrollierten automatisierten Prozessen hergestellt werden. Diese Prozesse tragen dazu bei, dass die Produkte aus einem einzigen Stück bestehen und nicht aus mehreren miteinander verklebten Teilen. Dies sorgt für eine verbesserte Festigkeit und Langlebigkeit der Abdeckungen. Ein wesentliches Merkmal dieser Norm ist die umfassende Anwendbarkeit auf unterschiedliche Klassen, die je nach Nutzung der Fläche variieren. So können die Abdeckungen in Geh- und Radfahrerbereichen (Klasse A 15), in Parkhäusern oder ähnlichen Einrichtungen (Klasse B 125), und in Straßenbereichen (Klasse C 250) eingesetzt werden, wobei hier die Dimensionen klar spezifiziert sind. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Eignung für Fahrbahnen, einschließlich Fußgängerzonen und Parkplätze für alle Arten von Straßenfahrzeugen (Klasse D 400), was die universelle Anwendbarkeit der Norm unterstreicht. Die Norm EN 124-5:2015 ermöglicht zudem die Kombination von Gully- und Schachtabdeckungen mit Rahmen gemäß den Normen EN 124-1, EN 124-2, EN 124-3, EN 124-4 und EN 124-6. Dies sorgt für eine integrierte Herangehensweise beim Bau und bei der Installation von Entwässerungssystemen. Darüber hinaus sind klare Ausschlüsse definiert, was zur Klarheit und zur Vermeidung von Missverständnissen beiträgt. Abdeckungen und Gullys, die mittels Handschichtverfahren hergestellt werden, sowie Vorfabrikationsteile gemäß EN 1433 fallen nicht unter die Regelungen dieser Norm. Dies ist besonders wichtig für Planer und Ingenieure, die sicherstellen möchten, dass sie die richtigen Produkte für ihre spezifischen Anforderungen wählen. Insgesamt bietet die EN 124-5:2015 eine klare, strukturierte und umfassende Richtlinie für die Verwendung von Gully- und Schachtabdeckungen aus Verbundwerkstoffen, die für die Sicherheit und den Komfort im Straßenverkehr von großer Bedeutung ist. Die Norm ist daher relevant und zeitgemäß, um die Anforderungen an moderne Infrastruktur und Entwässerungssysteme zu erfüllen.
The standard EN 124-5:2015 outlines the requirements for gully tops and manhole tops made of composite materials in vehicular and pedestrian areas. This document is critical for ensuring consistency and safety in urban infrastructure by specifying guidelines for products that cater to a variety of usage scenarios, including areas designated for pedestrians and cyclists (class A 15), pedestrian-related car parks (class B 125), and parts of the carriageway (class C 250 and D 400). One of the significant strengths of this standard is its focus on composite materials, which are increasingly preferred for their durability and lightweight properties. The specification that the tops must be produced from a single structure, rather than bonded pieces, ensures structural integrity and reliability in high-traffic environments. This detail speaks to the relevance of the standard, particularly in today’s engineering landscape where composite materials are becoming standard in construction due to their resilience and lower maintenance needs. Moreover, the standard’s comprehensive scope addresses various classes of loadings, ensuring that the products can effectively withstand the demands of their respective environments. This classification allows for the appropriate selection of manhole and gully covers that are specifically designed for their intended use, promoting safety and reducing the risk of structural failure. Furthermore, by outlining the limitations of applicability, such as excluding products manufactured through hand lay-up methods, the standard clarifies what constitutes compliance, preventing ambiguity in material manufacturing and usage. The emphasis on using EN 124-1 in conjunction with this standard further solidifies its relevance, as it provides a cohesive framework for assessing the performance of covers and gratings made from composite materials. In summary, EN 124-5:2015 effectively fills a critical gap in the regulatory landscape by prescribing requirements for manhole and gully tops made of composite materials, thereby enhancing safety, ensuring compatibility, and promoting the use of advanced materials in public infrastructure.
SIST EN 124-5:2015 표준 문서는 복합 재료로 제작된 맨홀 덮개 및 배수구 덮개에 대한 매우 중요한 지침을 제공합니다. 이 표준의 범위는 보행자와 차량 통행이 있는 지역에서 사용되는 복합 재료로 만들어진 맨홀 및 배수구 덮개의 설계 및 생산에 중점을 둡니다. 표준은 C1, C2, C3 클래스로 분류된 단일 구조물을 다루며, 최대 1,000 mm의 개구부를 허용하여 다양한 사용 환경에 적합하도록 하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점은 다양한 사용 조건에 대한 명확한 기준을 제공한다는 점입니다. 특히, 보행자와 자전거 사용자만 이용하는 A15 클래스, 주차장이나 보행자 지역의 B125 클래스, 도로의 커브 사이드 채널인 C250 클래스, 그리고 모든 유형의 도로 차량을 위한 D400 클래스에 대한 명확한 정의를 제공합니다. 이러한 다양한 범주는 복합 재료 덮개가 실질적으로 사용될 수 있는 환경을 보장하며, 설치 및 유지 관리 시 배수구 및 맨홀 덮개에 대한 신뢰성을 높입니다. SIST EN 124-5:2015는 EN 124-1와 함께 사용되어야 하며, 이를 통해 복합 재료로 된 덮개/그레이트와 EN 124-2, EN 124-3, EN 124-4, EN 124-6에 따른 프레임의 조합에 대한 명확한 가이드를 제공합니다. 이러한 통합적 접근은 모든 관련 표준 간의 일관성을 보장하며, 실제 적용 시 조절 및 조화된 방법으로 다양한 구성품이 상호작용할 수 있도록 합니다. 이 표준은 특정 제작 방법을 배제하여 불필요한 혼란을 줄이고, 더욱 정밀하고 안전한 제품 개발을 촉진합니다. 예를 들어, 손으로 수작업으로 제작된 맨홀 덮개 및 배수구 덮개, EN 1433에 따른 프리패브 드레인 채널의 일부로서의 그레이트/덮개, 그리고 EN 1253에 명시된 건물 내 바닥 및 지붕 배수구에 대해서는 적용되지 않습니다. 이러한 명확한 구분은 사용자가 올바른 재료 및 설계지침을 선택할 수 있도록 돕습니다. 결론적으로, SIST EN 124-5:2015는 보행자와 차량 통행이 있는 지역에서 복합 재료로 제작된 덮개와 관련하여 명확하고 신뢰할 수 있는 표준을 제공하며, 해당 분야의 안전성과 성능을 한층 강화합니다.

Son champ d'application est clairement défini, englobant une large gamme d'utilisations allant des zones uniquement accessibles aux piétons et cyclistes (classe A 15) jusqu'aux chaussées principales pour tous types de véhicules (classe D 400). Cette diversité d’applications témoigne de la pertinence de la norme dans la conception et l’implémentation des infrastructures urbaines modernes. Parmi ses points forts, cette norme garantit une production contrôlée par des processus automatisés pour créer des structures monoblocs, réduisant ainsi les risques de défaillance associés aux assemblages de pièces multiples. Cela souligne l’importance de la durabilité et de la sécurité dans les zones soumises à un trafic important. En outre, la norme établit des dimensions précises pour les ouvertures allant jusqu'à 1 000 mm, ce qui facilite l’adaptation de ces couvercles aux différents types de puisards et de regards dans des environnements variés. La norme EN 124-5:2015 est également pertinente en interagissant avec d'autres normes européennes telles que EN 124-1, EN 124-2 et EN 124-6, offrant des lignes directrices pour l'intégration de couvercles en matériaux composites avec des cadres correspondant à des standards établis de qualité et de performance. Cela en fait un outil essentiel pour les ingénieurs et concepteurs impliqués dans le développement des infrastructures urbaines. Il est essentiel de noter que la norme exclut certains types de produits tels que ceux fabriqués par la méthode du laminage à la main ou les grilles intégrées dans des systèmes de drainage préfabriqués. Cette délimitation permet d’affiner les applications de la norme et d'assurer que les utilisateurs se concentrent uniquement sur les produits conformes aux exigences spécifiées pour la sécurité et la durabilité. En conclusion, la norme EN 124-5:2015 représente un cadre solide pour la fabrication et l'utilisation de couvercles de regards et de puisards en matériaux composites, garantissant sécurité, fiabilité et conformité aux exigences d'infrastructures variées.
SIST EN 124-5:2015は、歩行者および車両用エリア向けの複合材料で作られたマンホールと排水溝の蓋に関する欧州標準であり、特にその適用範囲と重要性において優れたものです。この標準は、適切に制御された自動プロセスを用いて製造された単一構造の複合材料の蓋を対象としており、これは複数の部品を接合していないことを明確に定義しています。蓋の開口部は最大1,000mmまで対応しており、歩道や車両交通があるエリアに設置するための指針となります。 この標準の強みは、特定の使用条件に応じた分級があり、歩行者や自転車専用道路（クラスA 15）、駐車場（クラスB 125）、および車道の縁から0.5m以内の場所（クラスC 250）や、すべての種類の車両用の車道（クラスD 400）でも使用できることです。これにより、さまざまな交通条件下での安全性と耐久性が確保されています。 加えて、この標準は、EN 124-1や他の関連標準（EN 124-2、EN 124-3、EN 124-4、EN 124-6）と組み合わせて適用される必要があることを強調しており、複合材料製の蓋とフレームの組み合わせに関するガイダンスを提供しています。このことは、設計者や施工業者にとって非常に重要な情報であり、標準に基づいた製品選定の際の混乱を避けることができます。 重要な点として、手作業で製造された蓋、EN 1433に基づくプレファブリケート排水チャネルの一部としてのグレーティング、EN 1253に指定された建物内の床および屋根用排水溝、ならびにサーフェスボックスには適用されないことが明記されています。これにより、使用対象が明確になり、標準の適切な利用が促進されます。 総じて、SIST EN 124-5:2015は、さまざまなエリアでの安全かつ効果的な運用を保証するための明確な基準を提供しており、特に複合材料の利用において確かな指針を示しています。このように、この標準は業界における重要なリソースとなっており、その実用性と関連性は高く評価されています。
