Annex D (informative)
      D.1 - European Standards of commonly used products and
            additional European Standards in the field of
            waste water systems

Applies to waste water drainage systems operating under gravity. Applicable to drainage systems inside dwellings and institutional, industrial and commercial buildings. Details principles to be followed both for layout and calculation.

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.

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 second part of the standard sets out principles which shall be followed for both layout and calculation. It makes limited provision for drainage systems conveying trade effluent and also makes limited provision for fluids removed by pumps.

All drawings in the standard are given as examples and are not intended to exclude any other system configuration.
