This document gives requirements and guidance for the assessment of conformity of formulations, products and assemblies in accordance with EN 1401-1 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of third-party certification procedures.NOTE 1 The quality management system is expected to conform to or is no less stringent than the relevant requirements to EN ISO 9001 [1].NOTE 2 If third party certification is involved, the certification body is expected be compliant with either EN ISO/IEC 17065 [2] or EN ISO/IEC 17021-series [3], as applicable.NOTE 3 In order to help the reader, a basic test matrix is given in Annex A.In conjunction with EN 1401-1, this document is applicable to piping systems made of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) intended for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage:— buried in ground outside the building structure (application area code “U”);— both buried in ground within the building structure and outside the building structure (application area code “UD”).

This document specifies a method of assessment of surface resistance to impact with a small ball tester and relates to the surfaces of laminate floor coverings according to EN 13329, EN 14978 or EN 15468. The test is generally carried out on parts of the laminate floor panels with suitable sizes.

This document specifies the requirements for solid wall pipes with smooth internal and external surfaces, extruded from the same formulation throughout the wall, fittings and the system of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) piping systems intended for soil and waste discharge applications (low and high temperature):- inside buildings (application area code "B");- for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (application area code "BD").NOTE 1 The intended use is reflected in the marking of products by "B" or "BD".NOTE 2 Multilayer pipes with different formulations throughout the wall and foamed core pipes are covered by EN 1453-1 [1].NOTE 3 For use buried in ground within the building structure are intended only those components (marked with "BD") with nominal outside diameters equal to or greater than 75 mm.NOTE 4 EN 476 [2] specifies the general requirements for components used in discharge pipes, drains and sewers for gravity systems. Pipes and fittings conforming to this standard fully meet these requirements.This document is also applicable to PVC-U pipes, fittings and the system intended for the following purposes:- ventilating part of the pipework in association with discharge applications;- rainwater pipework within the building structure.This document also specifies the test parameters for the test method that are referred to.This document covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipes and fittings series and gives recommendations concerning colours.NOTE 5 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.For external above ground application additional requirements depending on the climate should be agreed between the manufacturer and the user.NOTE 6 Pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics product standards listed in Annex B can be used with pipes and fittings conforming to this document, provided they conform to the requirements for joint dimensions given in Clause 6 and to the requirements of Table 25.

This document establishes a system of graphic symbols for use in the marking of the following floor coverings and specifies the use of these symbols:- resilient floor coverings manufactured from plastics, linoleum, cork or rubber, excluding loose-laid mats;- textile floor coverings, including loose-laid mats and rugs;- laminate floor coverings;- modular mechanical locked floor coverings (MMF).
