Drain and Sewer Systems Outside Buildings - Design - Part 1: Layout Principles
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16933-1 standard provides guidelines for the design of drain and sewer systems that are present outside buildings. The scope of this standard includes drain and sewer systems that mainly function under gravity. This encompasses systems that begin from the point where wastewater exits a building, roof drainage system, or paved area and extends to the point of discharge into a wastewater treatment facility or a receiving water body.
Specifically, this standard focuses on defining the principles for the layout of drain and sewer systems. It establishes the requirements that these systems must meet in terms of their arrangement, configuration, and placement. The intent is to ensure that the design of these systems promotes efficient and effective flow of wastewater, minimizes the risk of blockages or backups, and facilitates easy maintenance and repair.
