Overview
EN 12763:2000 (CEN) is the European standard for fibre‑cement pipes and fittings used in building discharge systems where pressure‑tight joints are required. It establishes the general composition, classification, dimensional rules and the technical terms of delivery for pipes, joints and fittings intended for sewerage and rainwater discharge in buildings. The standard has been adopted by national bodies (e.g., SIST EN 12763:2001).
Key topics and requirements
EN 12763:2000 covers the essential technical topics manufacturers, specifiers and testing bodies need to address without prescribing specific proprietary designs:
- Material composition - general requirements for fibre‑cement as the product base (reinforced cementitious material).
- Classification - grouping of pipes and fittings by intended use, nominal size and pressure‑tight joint type.
- Geometrical requirements - dimensions, tolerances and interfacing details to ensure compatibility and interchangeability.
- Mechanical characteristics - performance attributes such as strength and load‑bearing behavior (tests and acceptance criteria are defined in the standard framework).
- Physical characteristics - properties like density and water-related behavior relevant to durability and service life.
- Joints and sealing - criteria for pressure‑tight joints suitable for sewerage and rainwater applications in buildings.
- Quality control and inspection - factory production control, sampling and testing procedures to maintain consistent product quality.
- Terms of delivery - designation, marking and documentation required when supplying fibre‑cement pipes and fittings.
(Note: EN 12763:2000 defines the categories and test frameworks; specific numerical values or test methods referenced in the full standard should be consulted directly in the published document.)
Applications and users
EN 12763 is directly applicable to:
- Building drainage systems for sewerage and rainwater discharge requiring pressure‑tight connections.
- Use cases: internal soil and waste stacks, horizontal drainage runs within buildings, rainwater downpipes where pressure integrity matters.
Primary users:
- Manufacturers of fibre‑cement pipes and fittings (product design and factory production control).
- Consulting engineers and specifiers writing procurement documents and performance specifications.
- Contractors and installers ensuring correct product selection and installation for compliant, pressure‑tight systems.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies performing quality verification and compliance checks.
- Regulatory authorities and standards committees referencing harmonized European technical rules.
Related standards
EN 12763 complements other CEN and national standards dealing with drainage, jointing systems and test methods. For project compliance, consult EN 12763 together with applicable drainage, installation and testing standards referenced in the full EN text.
