FprEN 17152-1

Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground conveyance and storage of surface water - Boxes used for infiltration, attenuation and storage systems - Part 1: Specifications for boxes made of PP and PVC-U FprEN 17152-1

Publication date:   Dec 18, 2025

Scope

This document gives the definitions and specifies the minimum requirements for injection moulded, extruded and thermoformed thermoplastics boxes, including integral components, used in underground systems for infiltration, attenuation and storage of surface water (e.g. storm water) and manufactured from polypropylene (PP) or unplasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC-U).
NOTE Non load bearing component(s) of boxes can be manufactured by various methods e.g. extrusion, injection moulding, rotational moulding, thermoforming and low-pressure injection moulding.
Product properties are determined by a combination of material specifications, design and manufacturing process.
Boxes are intended for use in landscape, pedestrian or vehicular traffic areas.
Boxes can either be factory assembled, or site assembled from different components.
Boxes are intended to be used as elements in a modular system where the manufacturer states in the documentation how the boxes are assembled to create a complete infiltration, attenuation or storage system.
