BS EN 12200-1:2016

This standard BS EN 12200-1:2016 Plastics rainwater piping systems for above ground external use. Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.060.20 Roofs
• 23.040.05 Pipelines and its parts for external sewage systems
• 23.040.20 Plastics pipes

This European Standard specifies the requirements for pipes, fittings, brackets and the system of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) intended for use as above-ground external rainwater piping systems.

It also specifies:

1. The requirements for metallic brackets.

2. Both solid wall pipes and fittings, (i.e. product manufactured from a single layer), as well as solid wall multi-layer pipes.

3. The test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.

Pipes can be used in conjunction with fittings and brackets of acrylic materials provided these polymers meet the performance requirements of this standard.

The products are usually used in conjunction with gutters conforming to EN 607 [1]. They are not intended for use with products conforming to EN 612 [2].

This standard is applicable to PVC-U rainwater systems of circular, square, rectangular or any other shape with sealed (rubber ring or solvent cement) or unsealed joints.

This standard covers a range of pipes and fittings sizes.
