1 Scope
This Technical Report applies to all water and sewerage applications of ductile iron pipe systems and provides
a structure on how to identify and consider environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts of
ductile iron pipe systems throughout their life cycle.
This Technical Report gives guidance on how the life cycle of ductile iron pipelines should be considered in
accordance with EN ISO 14044. This Technical Report also includes health and safety aspects related to the
production, use and recycling of ductile iron pipe systems.

3 General guidance
3.1 Provisions dealing with the introduction of environmental aspects into European
Standards
European Standards concerning ductile iron pipe systems currently exist without any direct reference for the
user to environmental awareness and the possible environmental aspects and potential impacts. This does
not necessarily lead to pipe systems which are less environmentally friendly, because the user has other
incentives when considering environmental aspects, such as installation considerations, legal requirements
etc. However, the inclusion of environmental provisions encourages the consideration of environmental
aspects in cases where such incentives do not exist.
In many cases, i
