European Standard 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of an identical text or by endorsement at the latest by December 2000 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2001 This part is the first in a series relating to the functional requirements of gravity drainage systems inside buildings There will be five parts as follows Gravity drainage systems inside buildings Part 1 General and performance requirements Part 2 Sanitary pipework Layout and calculation Part 3 Roof drainage Layout and calculation Part 4 Waste water lifting plants Layout and calculation Part 5 Installation and testing instructions for operation maintenance and use According to the CEN CENELEC Internal Regulations the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Iceland Ireland Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Norway Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland and the United Kingdom Page 5 EN 12056 1 2000 BSI 09 2000 1 Scope This European Standard applies to waste water drainage systems which operate under gravity It is applicable for drainage systems inside dwellings commercial institutional and industrial buildings The field of application of this European Standard is shown in Figure 1 Differences in plumbing within Europe have led to a variety of systems being developed Some of the major systems in use are described but this standard has not attempted to detail the intricacies of each system Detailed information additional to that contained in this standard may be obtained by referring to the technical documents listed in annex A This first part of the standard establishes the general and performance requirements for waste water gravity drainage systems It makes limited provision for pipework conveying trade effluent and for fluids removed by pumps All drawings in this standard are given as examples and are not intended to exclude any other system configuration 1 Gravity drainage systems inside buildings 2 Gravity drainage systems outside buildings Figure 1 Field of application 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions from other publications These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter For dated references subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies Page 6 EN 12056 1 2000 BSI 09 2000 EN 12056 2 Gravity drainage systems inside buildings Part 2 Sanitary pipework Layout and calculation EN 12056 3 Gravity drainage
