Investigation and Assessment of Drain and Sewer Systems Outside Buildings: General Requirements
Also Known As:
BS EN 13508-1:2012 standard provides guidelines for the inspection and evaluation of drain and sewer systems located outside buildings. The standard applies specifically to systems operating primarily under gravity, starting from the point where sewage exits a building or roof drainage system or enters a road gully, and ending at the point of discharge into a treatment facility or receiving water body. It also encompasses drains and sewers beneath buildings as long as they are not part of the building's own drainage system.
The scope of this European Standard is to establish general requirements for the investigation and assessment of these exterior drain and sewer systems. It serves as a comprehensive framework for conducting inspections and evaluations with regards to their condition, performance, and structural integrity. These guidelines ensure that the assessment is conducted in a consistent and standardized manner, facilitating accurate and reliable results. Adhering to this standard allows for effective maintenance, repair, and planning of the drainage and sewer systems, contributing to their optimal functionality and longevity.
