European foreword
This document (EN 752:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 165 “Waste water
engineering”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2017, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by October 2017.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
This document supersedes EN 752:2008.
The principal changes in this revision are as follows:
a) the terminology has been aligned with EN 16323:2014;
b) all the text relating to the determination of performance requirements and design criteria has been
moved to Clause 5 as these are essentially part of this policy activity and not the design process;
c) Clause 5 has been updated to include references to show the links to the EU Water Framework
Directive (2000/60/EC) together with its daughter directives and the EU Floods Directive
(2007/60/EC);
d) Clause 6 has been updated to align with the latest revision of EN 13508-1 and some text that is
duplicated in EN 13508-1 has been deleted;
e) Clause 6 has been updated to align with EN 14654-2;
f) contingency and emergency planning has been moved from the former Annex C to Clause 6 as it is
part of the integrated sewer system planning process;
g) some additional text from the former Annex D has been added to Clause 7, this has allowed the
former Annex D to be deleted as it largely duplicated Clause 7;
h) additional requirements have been added to Clause 8 on resilience of drain and sewer systems;
i) all physical design requirements in the former Clause 9 have been moved to a new Annex D;
j) all the hydraulic design requirements in the former Clause 9 have been moved to prEN 16933-2 to
provide a more coherent narrative;
k) former Clause 11 (now Clause 10) has been updated to include requirements on dealing with major
incidents;
l) the text of the former Clause 12 has been integrated into 6.5.5, 10.4 (now 9.4) or 11.2 (now 10.2) as
appropriate;
m) the text from the former Annex A has been incorporated either in Clause 5 or Clause 7;
n) a new Annex B on rehabilitation approaches has been added;
o) the text from the former Annex C has been incorporated into Clause 6 (for planning activities),
Clause 11 or the new Annex C;
p) the former Annex F has been deleted as this is superseded by the prEN 16932 series.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,

Introduction
Drain and sewer systems are part of the overall wastewater system that provides a service to the
community. This can be briefly described as:
— removal of wastewater from premises for public health and hygienic reasons;
— prevention of flooding in urbanized areas;
— protection of the environment.
The overall wastewater system has four successive functions:
— collection;
— transport;
— treatment;
— discharge.
Wastewater can, if necessary after treatment, be discharged to the environment or reused.
Collection and transport of wastewater is provided by drain and sewer systems.
Drain and sewer systems were installed because there was a need to remove the polluted water to
prevent diseases.
Traditionally, drain and sewer systems were constructed to collect and transport all types of
wastewater together irrespective of the initial source. This led to difficulties in handling the peak flows
in times of heavy rainfall and to the introduction of combined sewer overflows, which discharged
polluted water to surface receiving water bodies.
It was later recognized that separate systems, where foul wastewater was kept separate from runoff
derived from surface water, would be an improvement over such combined systems.
Although many drain and sewer systems started out as combined systems there are strong arguments
for considering the separation of foul wastewater and surface water. The pollutant effects are not the
same and the separation of effluents allows for the different treatment for each element of wastewater,
providing more environmentally friendly solutions.
This concept is included in the approach of integrated sewer management.
This European Standard provides a framework for the design, construction, maintenance operation and
rehabilitation of drain and sewer systems outside buildings. This is illustrated in the upper part of the
diagram in Figure 1. This European Standard is supported by more detailed standards for the
investigation, design, construction, organization and control of drain and sewer systems.
Investigation and assessment standards include:
— EN 13508 (all parts), Investigation and assessment of drain and sewer systems outside buildings.
Design and construction standards include:
— prEN 16932 (all parts), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Pumping systems,
— prEN 16933-2, Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Design — Part 2: Hydraulic design,
— EN 1295 (all parts), Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading,
— EN 1610, Construction and testing of drains and sewers,
— EN 12889, Trenchless construction and testing of drains and sewers,
— EN 15885, Classification and characteristics of techniques for renovation and repair of drains and
sewers.
Management and control standards include:
— EN 14654 (all parts), Management and control of operational activities in drain and sewer systems
outside buildings.
To support these detailed standards information comes from specifications produced by individual
organizations for their own use. Product standards should also take into account the functional
requirements in this European Standard through EN 476, EN 13380 and EN 14457.

Figure 1 — Pyramid diagram
The EU Public Procurement Directive (2014/25/EU) governs the procurement of goods and services by
public authorities. This includes procurement in relation to drain and sewer systems.
The Construction Products Regulation (No 305/2011) provides for uniform assessment methods of the
performance of construction products which are set out in harmonized European Standards.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the objectives for drain and sewer systems outside buildings. It
specifies the functional requirements for achieving these objectives and the principles for strategic and
policy activities relating to planning, design, installation, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation.
It is applicable to drain and sewer systems from the point where wastewater leaves a building, roof
drainage system, or paved area, to the point where it is discharged into a wastewater treatment plant or
receiving water body.
Drains and sewers below buildings are included provided that they do not form part of the drainage
system for the building.
