National foreword

This British Standard is the official English language version of
EN 858-1:2002, including amendment A1:2004.

EN 858-1:2002 is now a candidate “harmonized” European Standard and fully
takes into account the requirements of the European Commission mandate
M118, Wastewater engineering products, given under the EU Construction
Products Directive (89/106/EEC), and is intended to lead to CE marking. The
date of applicability of the amended EN 858-1:2002 as a harmonized European
Standard, ie. the date after which this standard may be used for CE marking
purposes, is subject to an announcement in the Offieial Journal of the
European Communities. The Commission in consultation with Member States
have agreed a transition period for the co-existence of harmonized European
Standards and their corresponding national standard(s). It is intended that
this period will comprise a period, usually nine months after the date of
availability of the European Standard, during which any required changes to
national regulations are to be made, followed by a further twelve-month period
for the implementation of CE marking. At the end of this co-existence period,
the national standard(s) will be withdrawn.

EN 858-1 is the subject of transitional arrangements agreed under the
Commission mandate. In the UK there are no corrsponding national
standards. There are no regulations in the UK dealing with reaction to fire of
light liquid separators. Therefore the requirements of 6.2.8 and 8.4 are not
applicable to separators intended for use in the UK.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
B/505, Wastewater engineering, which has the responsibility to:

— aid enquirers to understand the text;

— present to the responsible international/European committee any
enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the
UK interests informed;

— monitor related international and European developments and
. promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
