This European Standard applies to a) manholes, when made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on polyester resin (UP); b) inspection chambers, when made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on polyester resin (UP) which are intended to be used with inverts which are at a depth not exceeding 2 m. These products are intended to be used within a drain or sewer system operating without pressure or occasionally at a head of pressure up to 1 bar. It applies to products, and their joints, intended for use in buried installations and to be installed by open-trench techniques. The units have a circular shape with nominal sizes not exceeding the maximum nominal size specified in EN 14364. The intended use of these products is to provide access to, buried drain or sewer systems for the conveyance of waste water at temperatures up to 50 °C, without pressure or occasionally at a head of pressure up to 1 bar, outside buildings and installed in areas subjected to vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic. It specifies definitions including symbols, requirements and characteristics of manholes, inspection chambers, joints, materials, test methods and marking. NOTE It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.

Overview
SIST EN 15383:2013/kFprA1:2013 is a European Standard developed by CEN for plastics piping systems used in drainage and sewerage applications. Specifically, this document covers manholes and inspection chambers manufactured from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on unsaturated polyester resin (UP). The standard applies to circular units intended for use in non-pressurized or occasionally pressurized (up to 1 bar) buried drain or sewer networks, typically installed using open-trench techniques. These systems support the conveyance of wastewater at temperatures up to 50°C, and are suitable for installation in areas subject to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
- Covers manholes and inspection chambers made from GRP-UP intended for drainage and sewerage applications
- Includes units installed in buried, open-trench systems, with invert depths not exceeding 2 meters
- Applies to products and their joints, focusing on mechanical performance and watertightness
Material and Design Requirements
- Mandates the use of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics based on polyester resin
- Specifies requirements for the mechanical and physical properties of materials used in manufacturing
- Establishes design parameters for nominal sizes (in line with EN 14364), ensuring compatibility and performance
Testing and Performance
- Outlines test methods for verifying product characteristics, including joint integrity and structural strength
- Aligns testing protocols for joints with related GRP pipe product standards (EN 1796 and EN 14364)
- Stipulates joint tests must be conducted at (23 ± 15) °C for consistency and regulatory compliance
Marking and Identification
- Specifies marking requirements for traceability and compliance
- Ensures all products are clearly labeled with relevant information for specifiers and installers
Applications
The adoption of SIST EN 15383:2013/kFprA1:2013 delivers practical value in a range of civil engineering and infrastructure projects focused on wastewater management:
Urban Drainage Systems
- Reliable access for inspection and maintenance of buried sewer lines in cities and municipalities
Residential and Commercial Developments
- Suitable for installation outside buildings, including roads and pavements exposed to vehicle and pedestrian loads
Industrial Facilities
- Supports wastewater conveyance systems where chemical resistance and durability are vital
Upgrades and Rehabilitation
- Ideal for retrofitting or replacing traditional manholes and inspection chambers in existing drainage networks
By specifying robust requirements for manholes and inspection chambers made from GRP-UP, the standard promotes long-term system reliability, corrosion resistance, and easier maintenance access, ensuring effective wastewater management and protection of public health.
Related Standards
To ensure comprehensive compliance and specification quality, SIST EN 15383:2013/kFprA1:2013 is closely associated with the following European and international standards:
- EN 14364: Details requirements and testing for GRP-UP piping systems
- EN 1796: Covers pipes and fittings made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics based on UP resin for water supply
- EN 476: General requirements for components of piping systems for non-pressure drainage and sewerage
Specifiers and purchasers should reference these related documents for a holistic approach to plastics piping systems in drainage and sewerage projects, ensuring installation best practices and regulatory adherence.
