The standard EN 124-6:2015 addresses the specifications for gully tops and manhole tops made from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), establishing essential guidelines for their application in pedestrian and vehicular traffic areas. The scope of this standard is clearly defined, focusing on products with clear openings up to 1,000 mm, ensuring that the components are suitable for covering gullies, manholes, and inspection chambers. One of the significant strengths of this European Standard lies in its comprehensive classification system, which categorizes the products into use cases such as those for pedestrians and pedal cyclists (class A 15) and for pedestrian areas, car parks, or similar contexts (class B 125). This classification ensures that the appropriate materials are utilized in the correct contexts, thereby enhancing safety and functionality. Furthermore, EN 124-6:2015 provides valuable guidance regarding the combinations of covers or gratings made of PP, PE, or PVC-U with frames as per specifications outlined in related standards (EN 124 2, EN 124 3, EN 124 4, and EN 124 5). This interconnectedness not only fosters compliance across various standards but also ensures a harmonious integration of materials and designs, promoting safety in vehicular and pedestrian areas. The relevance of this standard is amplified by its focus on materials that are increasingly popular due to their advantageous properties like durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to corrosion. The use of PP, PE, and PVC-U in manufacturing gully tops and manhole tops promotes longer lifespan and operational efficiency, making them a sustainable choice in urban infrastructure. However, it is important to note that EN 124-6:2015 is designed to be used in conjunction with EN 124 1, indicating its applicability in a broader context rather than as a standalone document. Additionally, the standard clearly outlines exclusions, ensuring clarity about the types of products that fall outside its scope-such as rodding point covers and gratings as part of prefabricated drainage channels. This adds to the standard’s robustness, preventing misapplication and ensuring that compliance is accurately maintained. In summary, EN 124-6:2015 stands out for its clear scope, classification of applications, and guidance for integration with other standards, establishing itself as a crucial document in the realm of civil engineering and urban infrastructure development. The emphasis on specific materials, their applications, advantages, and the requirement for adherence to larger frameworks highlight the significant role this standard plays in enhancing safety and longevity in vehicular and pedestrian environments.

Die Norm EN 124-6:2015 befasst sich mit Gully- und Manhole-Deckeln für Verkehrsflächen, die aus Polypropylen (PP), Polyethylen (PE) oder unplastifiziertem Polyvinylchlorid (PVC-U) gefertigt sind. Diese europäische Norm legt den Anwendungsbereich für Manhole- und Gully-Decken fest, die durch ein Spritzgieß- oder Extrusionsverfahren erzeugt werden und eine klare Öffnung von bis zu 1.000 mm für die Abdeckung von Gullys, Manholes und Inspektionsschächten bieten. Ein wichtiger Punkt der Norm ist ihre Relevanz für verschiedene Klassen von Einsatzbereichen. Sie ist anwendbar in Bereichen, die ausschließlich von Fußgängern und Radfahrern genutzt werden (Klasse A 15) sowie in Fußgängerzonen und vergleichbaren Flächen, Parkplätzen oder Parkdecks (Klasse B 125). Diese Klassifizierung unterstreicht die vielseitigen Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Produkte, die den spezifischen Anforderungen und Belastungen in unterschiedlichen Umgebungen gerecht werden. Die Norm bietet zudem wertvolle Hinweise zu Kombinationen von Abdeckungen/ Gittern aus PP, PE oder PVC-U mit Rahmen gemäß den Normen EN 124-2, EN 124-3, EN 124-4 und EN 124-5. Diese Anleitung gewährleistet, dass die Produkte nicht isoliert, sondern im Einklang mit diesen anderen Normen verwendet werden, was die Sicherheit und Effektivität der Abdeckungen in verschiedenen Anwendungen erhöht. Es wird jedoch klargestellt, dass die Norm EN 124-6:2015 nicht isoliert anwendbar ist, sondern in Verbindung mit der Norm EN 124-1 gelesen werden muss. Zu den Stärken dieser Norm gehört die klare Definition der Anforderungen und die detaillierte Beschreibung der Anwendungsbereiche, was die Planung und Ausführung für Ingenieure und Bauunternehmen erleichtert. Darüber hinaus schließt die Norm explizit Anwendungsfälle aus, wie beispielsweise Roddingpunktabdeckungen oder Gitter als Teil von Fertigteilentwässerungskanälen, was zu einer klärenden Abgrenzung der Anwendung führt. Insgesamt stellt die EN 124-6:2015 einen wesentlichen Standard in der Produktkategorie der Gully- und Manhole-Deckel dar, fördert die Sicherheit im Fußgänger- und Fahrzeugverkehr und unterstützt die Einhaltung hoher Standards bei der Materialauswahl und Konstruktion.

SIST EN 124-6:2015は、歩行者および車両の通行が想定されるエリアに設置される、ポリプロピレン（PP）、ポリエチレン（PE）、または非可塑化ポリ塩化ビニル（PVC-U）製のマノホールカバーおよびガリートップに関するヨーロッパ規格です。この規格は、直径1000mmまでの開口部を持つこれらの製品に適用され、特に歩行者および自転車専用のエリア（クラスA 15）や、歩行者エリアと同等のエリア、駐車場または駐車デッキ（クラスB 125）での使用を意図しています。 この規格の強みは、ポリマー素材であるPP、PE、PVC-Uを用いたカバーとフレームとの組み合わせについて詳細なガイダンスを提供する点です。このため、特に耐久性や軽量性が求められる現代の都市環境での使用において、その適用性が高まります。また、EN 124シリーズに基づく様々な基準との組み合わせが強調されており、統一された品質管理を実現するために重要な役割を果たします。 さらに、この標準は単独での適用を意図しておらず、EN 124 1との組み合わせで使用される必要があるため、関連する基準との相互作用を考慮した設計が可能です。ただし、ロディングポイントカバーやプレファブリケート排水チャンネルの一部としてのグレーティング、建物内のフロアおよび屋根用のガリーについては適用外であるため、使用範囲が明確に定義されています。 これにより、意図しない誤用を防ぐことができ、規格自体の信頼性と正確性を高めることにつながります。したがって、SIST EN 124-6:2015は、都市インフラストラクチャにおいて安全性、耐久性を確保するために重要な標準であり、これらの要素が特に交通量の多いエリアでの製品選択において重大な意味を持つことを示しています。

SIST EN 124-6:2015는 보행자와 차량이 통행하는 지역에 설치되는 폴리프로필렌(Polypropylene, PP), 폴리에틸렌(Polyethylene, PE) 또는 비가소화된 폴리염화비닐(Poly(vinyl chloride), PVC-U)로 만들어진 맨홀 및 배수구 덮개에 대한 유럽 표준입니다. 이 표준의 적합한 범위는 1,000mm까지의 명확한 개구가 있는 덮개를 포함하며, 인도 및 차량 통행이 허용되는 지역에서 사용될 수 있도록 설계되었습니다. 이 표준의 주요 강점은 다양한 사용 환경에 대한 명확한 지침을 제공한다는 점입니다. 특히 클래스 A 15는 보행자 및 자전거 전용 도로에, 클래스 B 125는 보행자 영역, 주차장, 주차 데크 등에서의 적용을 명시하고 있습니다. 이러한 범위는 안전성과 실용성을 극대화하여, 사용자가 걱정 없이 해당 덮개를 사용할 수 있도록 합니다. SIST EN 124-6:2015는 PP, PE 또는 PVC-U로 만들어진 커버와 프레임을 조합하는 방법에 대한 지침도 제공합니다. 이는 EN 124 2, EN 124 3, EN 124 4, EN 124 5와 함께 정의된 조합에 따라 이루어지며, 이로 인해 사용자는 다양한 상황에 맞춘 솔루션을 쉽게 찾을 수 있습니다. 그러나 이 표준은 독립적으로 사용될 수 없으며, 반드시 EN 124 1과 함께 사용해야 합니다. 또한, 다양한 적용이 제한되는 부분이 명시되어 있어, 로딩 포인트 커버(EN 13598 1), 미리 제작된 배수 채널의 그레이팅 및 덮개(EN 1433), 건물의 바닥 및 지붕 배수구(EN 1253)에는 적용되지 않습니다. 이러한 점에서 SIST EN 124-6:2015는 특정 목적과 환경에 맞춘 설계의 중요성을 강조하고 있습니다. 결론적으로, 이 표준은 폴리머 재료를 사용하는 덮개 및 그레이팅에 대한 명확하고 구체적인 적용 범위를 제공함으로써, 관련 산업에서의 안전성과 효율성을 높이는 데 기여합니다.

La norme EN 124-6:2015 se concentre sur les couvercles de regard et les grilles de gully fabriqués en polypropylène (PP), polyéthylène (PE) ou polychlorure de vinyle non plastifié (PVC-U). Son champ d'application est clairement défini, s'appliquant spécifiquement aux dispositifs d'une ouverture claire allant jusqu'à 1 000 mm, destinés à couvrir des gullys, manholes et chambres d'inspection dans des zones soumises à un trafic piétonnier et/ou véhiculaire. Parmi ses points forts, la norme apporte une grande précision en classifiant les différents types d'utilisation, notamment dans des zones réservées uniquement aux piétons et aux cyclistes (classe A 15) ainsi que dans des aires piétonnes, des parkings ou des étages de stationnement (classe B 125). Cette classification démontre non seulement la flexibilité de la norme, mais aussi son souci de la sécurité des usagers en tenant compte des charges spécifiques auxquelles les couvercles doivent résister. La norme fournit également des directives sur les combinaisons de couvercles et grilles en PP, PE ou PVC-U avec des cadres conformes aux normes EN 124 2, EN 124 3, EN 124 4 et EN 124 5. Cela renforce l'harmonisation et la standardisation des produits, garantissant ainsi leur compatibilité et leur performance dans les applications spécifiques. Il est important de noter que la norme EN 124-6:2015 ne doit pas être considérée isolément, mais en combinaison avec la norme EN 124 1, ce qui assure une compréhension complète des exigences relatives aux gully tops et manhole tops. Toutefois, il convient de préciser que cette norme ne s'applique pas à plusieurs types de couvercles spécifiques, tels que les couvercles de points de nettoyage selon la norme EN 13598 1 ou les grilles faisant partie de canaux de drainage préfabriqués selon la norme EN 1433, ce qui permet d'éviter toute confusion dans les applications. En résumé, la norme EN 124-6:2015 se révèle être un document de référence essentiel pour la fabrication et l'utilisation de couvercles et grilles adaptés à des zones de circulation piétonne et véhiculaire, garantissant non seulement la sécurité mais également la durabilité des installations.
