New standard EN 545:2010 - December 2010

What is EN 545:2010?It's a European standard used within the framework of European and international markets for ductile iron pipelines for drinking water.

A European standardDeveloped with broad participation by experts of all stakeholders from many countries : Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Swiss, United Kingdom...

An independent standard Approved after a European consultation (31 member countries) and published under the authority of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).

The EN 545:2010 standard is on sale online on the following websites:

Simple organization in pressure classes for pipes and fittings

Preferred pressure classes for standard installations (clause 8.1 table 16)

Additional pressure classes for specific requirements up to 100 bar (clause 8.1 table 17)

End of thickness classes (K9, etc.)

The water used in the mortar mix for the internal lining shall comply with Drinking Water Directive 98/83/EC (clause 4.5.3.1)

The pipeline systems have to be in compliance with national regulations covering materials in contact with drinking water (clause 4.1.4)

Approximately 20% reduction in the environmental footprint of products (clause 8.1 table 16)

Increased durability via recommendation of fields of use and a wide choice of protective external coatings (annex D)

External zinc coating shall not be less than 200g/m2 (clause 4.5.2.2)

Conformity of pipes, joints and accessories must be demonstrated by performance tests and factory production control (clause 9.1)

Recommendation to have a quality management system in compliance with the ISO 9001:2000 standard (clause 9.3.1)

EN 545:2010 becomes a standard system by integrating couplings, flanged adaptors and pipe saddles manufactured for use with ductile iron pipes and fittings (clause 5 and 7)

The new standard defines the need to ensure that components from different suppliers meet the demanding performance requirements of clause 5 and 7 (clause 4.1.3.2)

EN 545:2010 advantages

PAM played the lead role in the development of new pressure classes

NATURAL is available in preferred pressure classes

The whole range of PAM products is available in preferred pressure classes

HYDROPAM and ALPINAL for higher pressure ranges

IRRIGAL for irrigation and URBITAL for recycled water

EN 545 includes reference to the need for compliance with national water quality regulations where they exist:

- France NF EN 545: ACS- United Kingdom BS EN 545: DWI, WRAS- Germany DIN EN 545: DVGW GW337 + W270, KTW

PAM solutions comply with standards and legislation, among which: France (ACS), United Kingdom (Regulation 31.4 and WRAS), Germany (DVGW) and the Netherlands (KIWA)

PAM is certified to ISO 14001:2004 by a third party organization

Zinalium external coating triples the lifetime of pipelines in most situations

In 15 years, PAM has reduced energy requirements by an average of 30% to produce a pipe of the same DN

PAM is certified to ISO 9001:2008 by a third party organization for design, manufacture and marketing of its products

PAM has its own additional technical specifications, which are even more demanding than those of the EN 545 standard

PAM provides a complete, consistent and homogeneous range of pipes, fittings and joints, designed and tested for the highest performances

PAM has the performance of its joints certified by a third party organization

The angular deflection provided by the flexible joints of PAM products are greater than those specified in the standard

PAM joints are certified by tests in COFRAC accredited laboratories
