DIN EN 1610, which has been valid since October 1997, describes the European standard for the laying and testing of drains and sewers outside buildings. In the new edition of the ATV-DVWK Standard ATV-DVWK-A 139E, supplementary information and more detailed statements on DIN EN 1610 are described which, from the point of view of those experts involved, are considered to be necessary remarks and which are expressly intended in DIN EN 1610. In this respect the Standard ATV-DVWK-A 139E is to be taken as the national supplement to DIN EN 1610. The elaboration was undertaken, under the leadership of Dipl.-Ing. Dieter Sternagel, by the ATV-DVWK-Working Group "General principles for the construction of drainage systems" within the ATV-DVWK Main Committee "Drainage systems". The Standard applies for the production and testing of earth-covered drains and sewers placed in open cut trenches and above ground outside buildings. With this, the planning engineer is given an aid which is to be recognised and utilised within the scope presented in DIN EN 1610. The supplements and notes refer to the placing of pipes, their testing, to the materials to be used and to the acceptance procedure for the structure. Attention is drawn particularly in that the requirements placed on the qualification of the implementing firm are also to be described, which in the same manner also apply in other countries. Through the joint application of DIN EN 1610 and Standard ATV-DVWK-A 139E a qualitatively high standard implementation of construction will be achieved. The technically correct production of sewers and drains, together with the use of suitable and reliable materials, is the prerequisite for a long-term functioning, economic and groundwater-protective sewer network. Note: This publication includes DIN EN 1610 and Standard ATV-DVWK-A 139E each in the original text. The passages originating from ATV-DVWK-A 139E are underlayed in blue. Foreword This European Standard was approved by CEN on 1997-05-18. CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member. The European Standards exist in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions. CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CENTC 165 "Waste water engineering", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 1998, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 1998.
Annexes A, B and C are informative. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard:Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 165. The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuß Wasserwesen (Water Practice Standards Committee), Technical Committee Rohrverlegung/Rohrstatik. Amendments DIN 4033, November 1979 edition, has been superseded by the specifications of EN 1610. Previous editions DIN 4033: 1940-04, 1941-05, 1963-05, 1979-11. The new edition of ATV-DVWK Standard A-139E presented here contains the supplementary information and more extensive comments on DIN EN 1610, which are held to be necessary by the specialist circles involved. Prerequisite for a long-term functional and watertight sewer network is, in addition to the employment of suitable and resistant materials, above all, the correct production of the sewers and drains. The solution to be sought is an overall economically optimised solution. In addition to investment costs the operating costs and the service life are to be taken into account. The recycling of the components and materials used should be considered in the planning. Based on the Mandate of the Commission of the European Community and, equally, on that of EFTA dated 24 May 1991, CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) has taken on the task of aligning all technical rules within the field of wastewater technology and of elaborating European Standard Specifications for the defined areas and products. In the meantime these tasks have very extensively been completed with the inclusion of the technical rules for the laying and testing of drains and sewers outside buildings. In Germany, in addition to DIN 4033, Standard ATV-A 139E ”Installation and Testing of Drains and Sewers” (October 1988 Edition) were available for this and were introduced as a basis for discussion within the framework of the work of the responsible CEN Technical Committee, TC 165 - Wastewater Technology, hereafter WG 10/TG2. The result of the work at CEN level consists of the accepted and, in Germany, as DIN EN Standard Specification converted document DIN EN 1610 ”Construction and testing of drains and sewers” (October 1997), the contents of which thus describes the generally recognised status of technology in Europe.
