Introduction
This standard is intended to reflect the current state of knowledge of determining and predicting the
long-term lifetime of products mentioned in the scope while maintaining reasonable testing times for
producers and developers of these systems.
The products covered by this standard are part of storm water management systems.
CEN TC 155 is aware that these products are used in modular systems and that the long term compression
strength determined by this standard applies to a single box and might not reflect the maximum allowable
loads on an installed system.
Linearity is assumed to extrapolate the (log) load versus log time curve from the results of the creep
rupture tests. The test described in Annex A is intended to demonstrate linearity over the extrapolated
lifetime by testing at elevated temperatures.
This test is given as an informative annex due to limited practical experience and lack of reliability
analyses. CEN TC 155 wants to encourage stakeholders to perform these tests before the next revision.
NOTE Linear behaviour of the boxes can be assumed when the difference in the slope between creep tests
performed at 20 °C and at 70 °C as described in Annex A is small and therefore there has been no deviation from
linear behaviour.
The test method follows the principles of ISO 9080 [1] and applies them to the testing of boxes.
CEN TC 155 is aware that including a not failed data point at 4 380 h in the calculation of LCL would bias
the outcome in the lower 95 % confidence level (LCL) for the stress leading to a failure at 50 years.

5 Test method
Creep rupture tests are performed at different load levels and the time until rupture is measured. The
load levels are selected to distribute the ruptures evenly over log-time.
The creep rupture tests are carried out by testing a series of samples placed between two stiff plates with
different constant compression loads applied. Deflection is recorded against time. The different times
taken for creep rupture to occur are used to plot a trend line which, when extrapolated, can be used to
predict the stress at which creep rupture will occur at a specific time in the future.
The uncertainty of the extrapolated value is determined to enable the definition of a lower limit at a
specified confidence level.
NOTE Creep rupture tests give information on a change of strain at failure with time to rupture.
6 Apparatus
6.1 Compression testing apparatus, which shall be capable of applying a constant load via stiff plates.
The load may be applied either directly or indirectly, e.g. by use of a lever arm arrangement. The load
shall be applied perpendicular (90° ± 1°) on the bottom plate.
If the force is applied by a force multiplication device, the resultant load applied to the sample shall be
validated using an appropriate load cell that has been calibrated according to EN ISO 7500-1:2018 class
2.
6.2 A pair of parallel plates.
Where the compression load can be applied to the test sample, the plates shall be flat, smooth and clean
and shall not deform during the test to an extent that would affect the results. The out of plane
deformation of the plates shall be less than 1,0 mm for the loads applied. The upper plate shall be fixed
(plate type 1) or shall have the capability to rotate around one or both horizontal axes (plate type 2). If a
test sample has integral protrusions, it is allowed to use an additional loose flat plate with recesses as a
load distribution layer to secure acceptable contact between the surface of the test sample and the plate
of the testing machine or remove the integral protrusions.
The length and the width of each plate shall be greater than the length and width of the test sample.
6.3 Timer, which shall be capable of continuously measuring and recording the testing time with an
accuracy of 1 min.
6.4 Dimensional
