Scope
Inspired on the International standards ISO 21053 part 1 LCC, the proposed EN standard will be enriched with additional sections:
‒ to define the Reference Service Life (RSL), Functional Units, safety criteria’s for water supply service, parameters of in-used conditions.
‒ to clarify the conditions of validity of data’s (published, home data’s…)
‒ to introduce concept of Circular Economy and Recyclability of Ductile Iron pipelines.
Purpose
To create a European Standard for “Life cycle cost (LCC) and Life cycle assessment (LCA) for ductile iron pipe systems”, including a “circular economy” section, in order
1/ to clarify concepts of LCC, LCA, RSL, functional unit …,
2/ To enlighten benefits of DI pipe,
3/ to support customers and users to optimize DI pipe solutions with objective global cost evaluation, safety requirements and environmental criteria’s
Justified because of a strong demand in the market and the capability of the group that fortunately has a team with experts from 8 different European countries working in ISO and CEN related committees.
