identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2020, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by November 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13598-1:2010.
Compared to the previous version, the main changes are listed below:
1) test methods have been updated to the latest EN ISO standards where applicable;
2) the scope has been amended to clarify the products covered in this part and avoid confusion with the

European foreword
This document (prEN 13598-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics
piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13598-1:2010.
Compared to the previous version, the main changes are listed below:
1) test methods have been updated to the latest EN ISO standards where applicable;
2) the scope has been amended to clarify the products covered in this part and avoid confusion with the
scope of part 2;
3) terms and definitions have been updated and also now include the product diagrams;
4) dimensional requirements have been updated and clarified;
5) the mechanical characteristics tables have been updated;
6) Annex A has been updated with requirements for the utilization of non-virgin materials for shallow
chambers.
This document is part of a System Standard for plastics piping systems of a particular material for a
specified application. There are a number of such System Standards.
System Standards are based on the results of the work being undertaken in ISO/TC 138 “Plastics pipes,
fittings and valves for the transport of fluids”, which is a Technical Committee of the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
They are supported by separate standards on test methods, to which references are made throughout the
System Standard.
The System Standards are consistent with general standards on functional requirements and on
recommended practice for installation.
EN 13598 consists of the following parts under the general title Plastics piping systems for non-pressure
underground drainage and sewerage — Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and
polyethylene (PE):
— Part 1: Specifications for ancillary fittings and shallow chambers (this document);
— Part 2: Specifications for manholes and inspection chambers (under revision);
— Part 3: Guidance for assessment of conformity (CEN/TS under revision).

1 Scope
This document specifies the definitions and requirements for ancillary fittings and shallow chambers
installed underground in non-pressure drainage and sewerage systems and manufactured from
unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP), polypropylene with mineral modifier
(PP-MD) or polyethylene (PE) intended for use for:
— non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage outside the building structure (application area
code “U”), and
— non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage for both buried in ground within the building
structure (application area code “D”) and outside the building structure.
This is reflected in the marking of products by “U” and “UD”.
It also covers the jointing of the ancillary fittings and shallow chambers to the pipework system.
The ancillary fittings covered by this standard are the following:
— sealed access fittings;
— rodding point covers;
— rodding tees;
— mechanical saddles.
Ancillary fittings according to this document are intended for use in pedestrian or vehicular traffic areas.
Ancillary fittings can be installed to a maximum depth of 6,0 m from ground level, with the exception of
rodding point covers.
Shallow chambers according to this document are intended for use in private drains located in pedestrian
areas above the ground water table, to a maximum depth of 2,0 m from ground level to the invert of the
main channel. This document covers shallow chambers with flow profile bases, and their joints to the
piping system.
NOTE 1 EN 124 series and EN 1253-4 covers can be used for shallow chambers.
NOTE 2 Manholes and inspection chambers are specified in EN 13598-2.
Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers complying with EN13598-1 comply with the general
requirements given in EN 476.
Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers can be manufactured by various methods e.g. injection moulding,
rotational moulding, spiral winding or fabricated from components made to other standards.
NOTE 3 Products complying with this document can be used with pipes, fittings and other components
conforming to any of the plastics products standards listed in Clause 2, provided their dimension comply with the
requirements for joint dimensions given in Clause 7 and to the requirements of Table 6.
NOTE 4 Products complying with this document can be installed in underground applications without additional
static calculation.
