European foreword
This document (EN 752:2017/prA1:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 165
“Waste water engineering”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
The principal changes in this amendment are broadly limited to various textual amendments and
additions relating to climate change.
1 Modification to “Introduction”
At the end of the 8th paragraph, add the following:
“Additionally, increased water resource scarcity or increased rainfall due to climate change determines
that rainwater recycling and sustainable discharge of stormwater should be a primary focus when
considering the planning, design, rehabilitation and management of drains and sewers outside of
buildings. Such approaches which will support drainage systems that serve local communities becoming
more sustainable and adaptive to the needs determined by our changing climate, through promoting
water sensitive urban development/design.”
In the 9th paragraph, replace “This concept” with “These concepts”, to read:
“These concepts are included in the approach of integrated sewer management.”
Replace the lists in the 12th and 13th paragraphs as follows:
“Design and construction standards include:
— EN 16932 (all parts), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Pumping systems,
— EN 16933 (all parts), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — 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), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Management and control of
activities.”
Replace Figure 1 with the following figure:
“
”
In the 2nd paragraph below Figure 1, replace “(No 305/2011)” with “(No xxx/2024)”
2 Modification to “Scope”
Add after the 2nd paragraph:
“This document pays regard to the extremes of the changing climate and seeks to acknowledge the
associated impacts on existing drain and sewer systems outside of buildings and futureproof associated
aspects of those systems that are to be planned for and designed in the future.”
3 Modification to Clause 2, “Normative references”
Replace “EN 13508-1, Investigation and assessment of drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Part 1:
General Requirements” with “EN 13508 (all parts), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings —
Investigation and assessment”
Replace “EN 14654-1, Management and control of operational activities in drain and sewer systems outside
buildings — Part 1: Cleaning” with “EN 14654 (all parts), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings —
Management and control of operational activities”.
Replace “prEN 16932 (all parts)” with “EN 16932 (all parts)”.
Replace “prEN 16933-2, Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Design — Part 2: Hydraulic design”
with “EN 16933 (all parts), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Design”
4 Modification to Clause 3 “Terms and definitions”
Add the following new terms and definitions after 3.1, and renumber the subsequent definitions:
“3.2
climate change
long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns
Note 1 to entry: Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions., however
since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil
fuels like coal, oil and gas
3.3
combined sewer overflow storm discharge
water discharged from a combined sewer overflow during heavy rainfall”
In the new definition 3.4 (former 3.2), add the following Note 1 to entry:
“Note 1 to entry: Design Working Life” can often be significantly longer than “design life” and is of critical
importance when calculating the longer-term resilience of drainage infrastructure, to, for example, climate change
impacts.”
[SOURCE: EN 1990:2002, modified to provide consistency with the terminology in EN 16323]”
Move definition 3.18 to after 3.4, so it becomes 3.5.
Add the following two new definitions at the end of the clause:
“3.23
sustainable urban drainage or blue green infrastructure
network of surface waters, groundwater, measures and facili
