Overview

EN 1329-1:2014/FprA1 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) plastic piping systems used for soil and waste discharge at both low and high temperatures within building structures. This standard applies to solid wall PVC-U pipes, fittings, and systems designed for applications inside buildings and, in some cases, buried within the building structure. It covers a range of nominal sizes, physical and mechanical characteristics, and includes provisions for marking and testing, ensuring reliable performance for soil and waste discharge systems.

Key Topics

  • Application Areas

    • Area B: Discharge applications inside buildings (soil and waste)
    • Area BD: Discharge applications both inside buildings and buried within the building structure, applicable for pipes with nominal outside diameters of 75 mm and above
  • Scope of Use

    • Soil and waste discharge piping for low and high temperature conditions
    • Ventilation parts of pipework associated with discharge systems
    • Rainwater pipework within the building structure
  • Product Marking and Identification

    • Pipes and fittings carry marked codes "B" or "BD" to indicate application suitability
    • Additional marking includes manufacturer’s name/trade mark, nominal diameter, wall thickness, material type (PVC or PVC-U), and for BD applications, the nominal ring stiffness (e.g., SN 4)
    • Special "ice crystal" symbol marking signifies suitability for cold climate performance and low-temperature impact resistance
  • Mechanical and Physical Requirements

    • Impact resistance tested at low temperatures using standard methods such as ISO 3127 and ISO 11173
    • Vicat softening temperature minimum of 79 °C ensures thermal performance (ISO 2507-1)
    • Longitudinal reversion and resistance to dichloromethane are tested to guarantee durability and chemical resistance
    • Tensile properties and gelation assessments are conducted to certify material quality and system integrity
  • Testing, Quality Control, and Conformity

    • Manufacturers are required to perform factory production control tests selecting appropriate test methods in alignment with national regulations and health and safety policies
    • The standard defines detailed test parameters and joint compatibility to ensure system performance and safety

Applications

EN 1329-1:2014/FprA1 piping systems are integral for modern building infrastructure where hygienic, durable, and efficient soil and waste discharge is critical. Common applications include:

  • Residential and Commercial Buildings
    Inside-building soil and waste discharge pipe networks that carry sewage and wastewater safely to sewer connections

  • Buried Piping within Building Structures
    Waterproof, robust discharge systems buried under floors or foundations with compliance to buried piping requirements

  • Ventilation Pipework
    Vent pipes connected to soil and waste discharge systems ensuring proper airflow and prevention of sewer gases

  • Rainwater Drainage Systems
    Internal rainwater piping that channels rainwater away from roofs and building facades safely

Use of this standard ensures compliance with European building codes, longevity of piping systems, and compatibility with other standardized components, leading to reliable wastewater management and environmentally sound building designs.

Related Standards

  • EN ISO 6259 Series – Testing tensile properties of plastic pipes
  • ISO 3127 – Low temperature impact testing procedures for plastics pipes
  • ISO 2507-1 – Determination of Vicat softening temperature for plastics
  • EN ISO 2505 – Longitudinal reversion tests for plastic pipes
  • ISO 9852 – Resistance testing to dichloromethane for PVC materials
  • CEN/TS 1329-2 – Guidance for factory production control for plastics piping systems

These related standards complement EN 1329-1:2014/FprA1 by providing harmonized test methods, ensuring comprehensive evaluation of PVC-U piping systems for soil and waste discharge applications.
