BS EN 752-1:1996

This part of BS EN 752 covers general matters and sets out definitions of terms that relate to the functional requirements of drain and sewer systems outside buildings. These definitions are not intended to be legal definitions.

This European Standard applies to drain and sewer systems, which operate essentially under gravity, from the point where the sewerage leaves a building or roof drainage system, or enters a road gully, to the point where it is discharged into a treatment works or receiving water.

Drains and sewers below buildings are included provided that they do not form part of the drainage system of the building.
