Annex A (informative) Examples for principles of pneumatically
         pressurized waste water systems

This standard specifies general requirements for components for use in pneumatically pressurized discharge pipes, drains and sewers. This European Standard provides the general basis for the preparation or revision of product standards. Some of the provisions may need modifications when drafting harmonized European Standards. It is not applicable for the evaluation of products.
