European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 17152-3:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155
“Plastics piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
EN 17152 consists of the following parts, under the general title "Plastics piping systems for non-pressure
underground conveyance and storage of non-potable water — Boxes used for infiltration, attenuation and
storage systems":
— Part 1: Specifications for storm water boxes made of PP and PVC-U;
— Part 2: Specifications for systems (water reservoir) - (under development);
— Part 3: Assessment of conformity (the present CEN/TS).
This edition of Part 3 covers products according to Part 1. For future revisions, it is intended to also cover
products according to EN 17152-2 (currently under development).
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the

Introduction
This document details the applicable characteristics to be assessed for type testing (TT), batch release
test (BRT), process verification test (PVT), and audit test (AT), as well as the frequency and sampling for
testing.
The concept of testing and organisation of those tests used for the assessment of conformity (AoC) is
shown, without or with certification, in Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1 — Typical scheme for the assessment of conformity by a manufacturer
A typical scheme for the assessment of conformity of materials or box assemblies by manufacturers,
including certification, is given in Figure 2.

certification
1 Scope
This document gives guidance for requirements for the assessment of conformity (AoC) of materials,
compounds, formulations, products, and assemblies in accordance with the applicable part(s) of
EN 17152 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management
system and for the establishment of certification procedures.
NOTE Annex B, Table B.1 contains a summary of tests for TT and surveillance monitoring.
In conjunction with EN 17152-1 (see European foreword) this document is applicable to boxes used for
infiltration, attenuation and storage systems.
