CEN/TC 165/WG 5 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Fibre cement pipes" and is responsible for: To establish European Standards (requirements, testing and quality control) for pipes and fittings of fibre cement for discharge systems, drains and sewers and for trench and land drains, including joints, manholes and accessories. This committee has published 3 standards.
CEN/TC 165/WG 5 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: To establish European Standards (requirements, testing and quality control) for pipes and fittings of fibre cement for discharge systems, drains and sewers and for trench and land drains, including joints, manholes and accessories. Currently, there are 3 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This Standard gives specifications for asbestos free fibre-cement manholes and inspection chambers for use in buried drains and sewers with gravity flow at atmospheric pressure.
Products covered by this standard include prefabricated elements in as well as prefabricated complete manholes and inspection chambers.
It specifies definitions, descriptions, composition, general appearance and finish, geometrical characteristics, mechanical characteristics, acceptance tests, type tests and quality control requirements.
NOTE Complete manholes or prefabricated elements may also be used for other purposes such as pumping stations, items of drainage, items for sewage treatment or sewage disposal, when corresponding additional requirements according to the relevant European Standards are fulfilled.

This part 1 of EN 588 specifies requirements for fibre-cement pipes, joints and fittings suitable for gravity systems at atmospheric pressure intended for sewerage and drainage applications. It is applicable only to the more commonly used fittings i.e. angled branches or tees and bends. It defines general composition, classification, geometrical, mechanical and physical characteristics, acceptance tests and type tests.
