BS EN124:1994, 6.1.3 requires that “For any other materials used in the field of application of this standard, all requirements of this specification shall be met and an approved independent body shall establish any other relevant requireme
5、nts and testing methods.” Accordingly, a working group was established to prepare a supplementary specification to BS EN124to cover composite and plastics materials used in the construction of manhole tops conforming to BS EN124, which are not for use in the highway. This Product Assessment Specific
6、ation has been prepared to cover composite and plastics material used in manhole tops intended for installation in service station forecourts and pavement areas and should be read in conjunction with BSEN124:1994. Where thermoplastics materials are used in the construction of a manhole top frame int
