Information About An EN12566

by JasonRestall

Simply put it's the new customary for sewage treatment plants that are sold within Europe. The Construction of Products Regulations from 1991 now state that any sewage treatment plant that are bought within the EU must have these fundamental specifications -

1) Has to be one hundred percent watertight
2) The sewage treatment plant needs to be structurally sound
3) Must have a reasonable capacity to hold waste water for an adequate amount of time before needing to be emptied. This allows a maximum a period of time for the sewage to be treated, thus the discharge will be more environment friendly and the sewage treatment plant will be a lot more effective.

All of these requirements are complying with the British Environment Agency commandments, which is not optional. All manufacturers and suppliers in the United Kingdom need to be able to prove that the sewage treatment plants that they sell are compliable with all the regulation set out buy the British Environmental agency. Which means all sewage treatment plants must give evidence that is fulfills the criteria in paragraphs, five, six point two, six point three, six point four and six point five of the B S EN 12566-3.

And the British Standard Institute stated that they only want sewage treatment plants that have a EN12566-3 2005 Certificate on the United Kingdom industry. The Environment Agency have also said that only sewage treatment plants that have the EN 12566-3 2005 Certificate are allowed to obtain the Environment Agency Exemption Certificate which you have to apply for, however it is highly recommended.

Because these regulations apply to all of Europe you will be unable to buy a substandard sewage treatment plant from mainland European continent.

While the EN 12566-3 has very high standards and tests, it requires merely a percentage reduction of the sewage effluent and therefore it does not guarantee that the final sewage will satisfy the Environment Agency Consent Standards that must be fulfilled. Another inconsistency is that the manufacturer may test a certain amount of litres of sewage each day for only four people, nonetheless they possess the right to sell the tank for six individuals if it has the plenty of capacity.
