Drainage channels for vehicular and pedestrian areas - Classification, design and testing requirements, marking and evaluation of conformity

This European Standard specifies requirements for linear drainage channels for the collection and conveyance of surface water when installed within areas subjected to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic. These channels are defined as either Type I, which requires no further support or Type M, which requires additional support to accommodate the vertical and horizontal loads in service, in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. This standard specifies requirements for gratings and covers integral with a linear drainage system. This standard applies to grid units, slot units and kerb units up to a clear opening of 1000 mm. This standard specifies definitions, classes, design and testing requirements, marking and quality control for drainage channels.
