Overview
EN 13476-3:2018/prA1 is a critical European standard published by CEN that defines the specifications for structured-wall piping systems made from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE). These plastic piping systems are intended for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage applications. Specifically, this part (Part 3) of EN 13476 focuses on pipes and fittings with smooth internal and profiled external surfaces categorized as Type B.
The standard covers various pipe constructions and fitting types that are used primarily for gravity-driven sewage and drainage systems buried underground. It defines material requirements, product marking, test methods, and system specifications to ensure durability, performance, and safety. This amendment (prA1) updates sampling, declaration practices, and clarifies requirements related to non-virgin materials.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
Applies to structured-wall pipes and fittings made from PVC-U, PP, and PE used outside the building (marked "U") and also those designed for use inside and outside buildings (marked "UD").
Covers pipes and fittings with or without integral sockets, elastomeric ring seals, welded or fused joints.Material Specifications
Details the requirements for polymers used, including material batch sampling and testing to ensure consistent quality.Surface Design
Defines pipes and fittings with smooth internal surfaces for optimal flow and profiled external surfaces for structural stability and load resistance.Testing and Quality Assurance
Specifies standardized test methods for stiffness classes, tolerances, material integrity, and system performance to meet drainage and sewerage standards.Marking and Codification
Products are marked to reflect their application areas (U or UD), material type, and compliance with stiffness and tolerance classes.Amendment Highlights (prA1)
Clarifies sampling frequency and source for materials, requiring agreement between suppliers and manufacturers to balance quality assurance with operational efficiency.
Updates declarations on material properties and sourcing to reduce misinterpretations concerning non-virgin (recycled or compounded) materials.
Applications
EN 13476-3:2018/prA1 piping systems are essential for the following practical uses in civil engineering and construction projects:
Non-Pressure Underground Drainage Systems
Installing sewer and stormwater pipelines that operate under gravity flow without internal pressure.Municipal and Residential Sewerage Networks
Durable pipework solutions for transporting wastewater safely from buildings to treatment plants or public sewer systems.Infrastructure Projects Requiring High Durability
Profiled structured-wall pipes enhance mechanical resistance to soil loads and external forces, ideal for buried installations under roads, pavements, and green spaces.Building Extensions and Connections
Type UD pipes designed for use both inside the building structure and outside, providing seamless connectivity for drainage systems.Systems Requiring Flexible Jointing Methods
Compatibility with elastomeric ring seals, welded, or fused joints allows for tailored installation techniques based on project requirements.
