This European Standard provides the general basis for the preparation or revision of product standards. It is not applicable for the evaluation of products and construction techniques. It is applicable as a reference for drawing up a product specification, if there is no product standard available. This European Standard applies to components to be used in domestic waste water, rainwater and surface water and other waste waters (e.g. industrial waste water) that will not damage the components.
