DIN EN 15229:2005-06

This document specifies performance requirements for thermoplastics manholes and inspection chambers and their joints intended to be used for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage applications and gives associated test methods for verification and evaluation of conformity with this document. This document includes separate tests for the near surface components, the riser shaft and the base unit, all of which can be supplied either individually or as a kit for site assembly. It does not include the testing requirements for the cover and frame. It includes suggested classification levels but allows the manufacturer to declare his individual test results. Products conforming to this document may be used internally within a building or externally and may also be used in renovation and replacement. This document also applies to manholes and inspection chambers used in highway, railway or other surface water drainage systems but covers only those characteristics subject to regulatory requirements. This document neither includes catch pots and gullies nor does it include covers or frames these being specified in EN 124[1].
