Foreword
This document (prEN 877:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 203 “Cast iron pipes,
fittings, accessories and their joints”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 877:1999.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
It is one of a series of standards for cast iron products for pipelines for various applications.
It deals with subjects covered by the International Standard ISO 6594. The major difference is the inclusion of
requirements for joints and for product performance.
This standard is in conformity with the general requirements already established by CEN/TC 165 in the field of
waste water engineering, as required by EN 476.
prEN 877:2012 (E)
1 Scope
This European Standard applies to cast iron pipeline components used for the construction of discharge
systems for buildings and of drains, normally as gravity systems but also vacuum systems, inside and outside
buildings, above and below ground.
The range of nominal sizes extends from DN 40 to DN 600 inclusive.
This standard specifies the requirements for the materials, dimensions and tolerances, mechanical properties,
appearance, standard coatings for cast iron pipes, fittings and accessories. It also indicates performance
requirements for all components, including joints. Quality assurance is covered in an informative annex.
It covers pipes, fittings and accessories cast by any foundry process or manufactured by fabrication of cast
components, as well as the corresponding joints.
The roof gullies used for siphonic systems are not relevant from this standard.
