Specifies the requirements and test method for gully tops and manhole tops made from composite materials.

How it relates to the products

It is the primary standard on which our composite manhole covers and frames framework is built.

Referencing a standard is not the same as certifying a product. Product-specific test evidence, a certificate or a manufacturer declaration must be requested and reviewed for the exact product supplied.

Supporting standards

Used in conjunction with BS EN 124-5:2015 to determine the appropriate load class for each installation location.
