This European standard specifies the requirements for pipes, fittings and the system of acrylonitrile-butadiene-
styrene (ABS) and acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylester (ASA) solid-wall piping systems in the field of
soil and waste discharge (low and high temperature)
- inside buildings (marked with "B")
- for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (marked with "BD").
NOTE 1 The application area "inside buildings" according to this standard, applies to the interior area of the
building only. The application area "within the building structure" conforms to the requirements for "inside
buildings" according to prEN 12056-1.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.
This standard is applicable to ABS pipes and fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other
plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for the following purposes:
a) soil and waste discharge pipework for the conveyance of domestic waste waters (low and high
temperature);
b) ventilation pipework associated with a);
c) rainwater pipework within the building structure.
It applies to pipes and fittings, marked with "B", which are intended to be used inside buildings and outside
buildings fixed onto the wall.
It applies to pipes and fittings, marked with "BD", which are intended to be used for both inside buildings and
buried in ground within the building structure.
NOTE 2 Only components (marked with "BD" ) are intended for use buried in ground within the building structure
with a nominal ring stiffness of at least SN 4 and nominal outside diameters equal to or greater than 75 mm.
NOTE 3 Pipes and fittings of the pipe series S 25 are intended to be used for application area "B" only.
This standard is applicable to ABS pipes and fittings of the following types:
- plain-ended,
- with integral elastomeric ring seal socket,
- with integral solvent cement socket,
- with integral dual purpose socket for elastomeric
