 N EN 124-3

Annotation

This European Standard is applicable to gully tops and manhole tops made of mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium alloys whether in combination with concrete or not, with a clear opening up to and including 1 000 mm for covering gullies, manholes and inspection chambers for installation in areas subjected to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic.

It is applicable to manhole tops and gully tops for use in

- areas which can only be used by pedestrians and pedal cyclists (at least class A 15),

- pedestrian areas and comparable areas, car parks or car parking decks (at least class B 125),

- the area of kerbside channels of roads which, when measured from the kerb edge, extends a maximum of 0,5 m into the carriageway and a maximum of 0,2 m into the pedestrian area (at least class C 250),

- carriageways of roads (including pedestrian streets), hard shoulders and parking areas, for all types of road vehicles (at least class D 400),

- areas imposing high wheel loads, e.g. docks, aircraft pavements (at least class E 600),

- areas imposing particularly high wheel loads, e.g. aircraft pavements (class F 900).

This European Standard is not applicable in isolation but only in combination with EN 124-1 and gives guidance for combinations of covers/gratings made of steel or aluminium alloys with frames according to EN 124-2 and EN 124-4, EN 124-5 or EN 124-6.
