The EN 124 standard, which is a European standard, consists of the following sections under the main heading of "Gutter covers and manhole covers for vehicle and pedestrian areas":
The EN 124-1 standard describes the requirements for manhole tops and gutter tops with a clear opening of up to (inclusive) 1000 mm for the closing of gutters, manholes and inspection rooms installed in areas subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic. This standard, which includes definitions, classification, general design principles, performance requirements and test methods for gutter tops and manhole tops, can be applied in conjunction with at least one of the other sub-standards. The following are not covered by the EN 124-1 standard:
Made of flake graphite cast iron or ductile graphite cast iron, with a clear open opening of up to and including 124 mm, for the closing of chutes, manholes and inspection rooms installed in areas subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, in accordance with EN 2-1000, whether in combination with concrete or not, requirements for gutter covers and manhole covers are described. This standard applies to manhole tops and gutter tops for use in:
This standard is not used alone, it is applicable only in combination with the first part and provides guidance for combinations of cast iron covers and grates with frames relative to other parts.
The scope of this standard does not include:
In EN 124-3 standard, in areas subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, with or without concrete, made of mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloys, net up to and including 1000 mm for closing gutters, manholes and inspection rooms for assembly Requirements for gutter covers and manhole covers with an opening are described. This standard applies to manhole tops and gutter tops for use in:
This standard is not used alone, it is applicable only in combination with the first part and provides guidance for combinations of cast iron covers and grates with frames relative to other parts.
The manufacture of manhole tops and gutter tops according to this standard is limited to cold forming, mechanical bending, or welding together of component parts made of sheet metal, strip or bar, or rolled or extruded metal sections.
The scope of this standard does not include:
In EN 124-4 standard, in areas subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, with or without concrete, made of mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloys, net up to and including 1000 mm for closing gutters, manholes and inspection rooms for assembly Requirements for gutter covers and manhole covers with an opening are described. This standard applies to manhole tops and gutter tops for use in:
This standard is not used alone, it is applicable only in combination with the first part and provides guidance for combinations of cast iron covers and grates with frames relative to other parts.
The manufacture of manhole tops and gutter tops according to this standard is limited to cold forming, mechanical bending, or welding together of component parts made of sheet metal, strip or bar, or rolled or extruded metal sections.
The scope of this standard does not include:
In EN 124-5 standard, suitable for closing chutes, manholes and inspection rooms for assembly in areas subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, with a clear opening of up to (inclusive) 1000 mm, forming a single structure and not containing multiple interconnected parts. It describes the requirements for manhole tops and gutter tops made of composite materials C1, C2 and C3 using properly controlled automated processes. This standard applies to manhole tops and gutter tops for use in:
This standard is not used alone, it is applicable only in combination with the first part and provides guidance for combinations of cast iron covers and grates with frames relative to other parts.
The scope of this standard does not include:
Polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) by a molding or extrusion process with a transparent opening of up to and including 124 mm, for the sealing of chutes, manholes and inspection rooms for installation in areas subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, in accordance with EN 6-1000 Applies to manhole tops and gutter tops made of non-plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-U).
This standard applies to manhole tops and gutter tops for use in:
This standard provides guidance for closures and grating combinations made of PP, PE or PVC–U with frames over other parts.
This standard is not used alone, it can only be applied in combination with the first part.
The scope of this standard does not include:
