Pertains to gully tops and manhole tops made of flake graphite cast iron and/or spheroidal graphite cast iron whether in combination with concrete or not, with a clear opening up to and including 1000 mm for covering gullies, manholes and inspection chambers for installation within areas subjected to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic.

This European Standard is applicable to gully tops and manhole tops made of flake graphite cast iron and/or spheroidal graphite cast iron whether in combination with concrete or not, with a clear opening up to and including 1000mm for covering gullies, manholes and inspection chambers for installation within areas subjected to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic. It is applicable to manhole tops and gully tops for use in areas which can only be used by pedestrians and pedal cyclists (at least class A 15), pedestrian areas and comparable areas, car parks or car parking decks (at least class B 125), the area of kerbside channels of roads which, when measured from the kerb edge, extends a maximum of 0,5m into the carriageway and a maximum of 0,2m into the pedestrian area (at least class C 250), carriageways of roads (including pedestrian streets), hard shoulders and parking areas, for all types of road vehicles (at least class D 400), areas imposing high wheel loads, e.g. docks, aircraft pavements (at least class E 600), areas imposing particularly high wheel loads, e.g. aircraft pavements (class F 900). This European Standard is not applicable in isolation but only in combination with EN124‑1 and gives guidance for combinations of covers/grating made of cast iron with frames according to EN124‑3 , EN124‑4 , EN124‑5 or EN124‑6 . This European Standard is not applicable to: cover fillings installed on site, e.g. concrete, paving blocks, etc.; concave gratings for class D 400 installed in carriageways of roads or hard shoulders and concave gratings for classes F 900 and E 600; gratings/covers as part of prefabricated drainage channels according to EN1433 ; floor and roof gullies in buildings which are specified in EN1253 (all parts); and surface boxes.
