This European Standard classifies roof drains and floor gullies without trap for use inside buildings, gives guidance for places of installation and specifies requirements for the construction, design, performance and marking as well as test methods of factory made roof drains and floor gullies without trap (further: floor gullies) for buildings, irrespective of the material for use in drainage systems.
Although normally used to convey rainwater and wastewater, these roof drains and floor gullies without trap may convey other wastewater provided there is no risk of damage to components or of injury to health.
This European Standard does not apply to trapped floor gullies with a depth of water seal of at least 50 mm as specified in EN 1253 1.
