prEN 17152-1

Scope

This document gives the definitions and specifies the minimum requirements for injection moulded, extruded and thermoformed thermoplastics cuboid shaped boxes, including integral components, used in underground systems for infiltration, attenuation and storage of surface water (e.g. storm water) and manufactured from polypropylene (PP) or unplasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC-U). Product properties are determined by a combination of material specifications, design and manufacturing process. These boxes are intended for buried underground use, e.g. in landscape, pedestrian or vehicular traffic areas. A box can either be factory assembled, or site assembled from different components. These boxes are intended to be used as elements in a modular system where the manufacturer states in the documentation how the components are assembled to create a complete infiltration, attenuation or storage system. NOTE Non load bearing component(s) can be manufactured by various methods e.g. extrusion, injection moulding, rotational moulding, thermoforming and low-pressure injection moulding.
