Defines general requirements for components inside and outside buildings such as pipes, fittings and manholes with their respective joints intended for use in discharge pipes, drains and sewers which operate as gravity systems allowing for a maximum pressure of 40 kPa. It also specifies general requirements for components used in hydraulically and pneumatically pressurised discharge pipes, drains and sewers.
