Foreword to EN 10224:2002
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 29 ‘Steel tubes and fittings for
steel tubes’, the Secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, by June 2003 at the latest, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn, by
September 2004 at the latest.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

Another European Standard covering tubes for the conveyance of water and aqueous liquids is:
EN 10312, Welded stainless steel tubes for the conveyance of water and other aqueous liquids – Technical
delivery conditions.
Compliance of a product with this standard does not confer a presumption of fitness of the product for the
transport of water intended for human consumption within the meaning of the Directive 89/106/EEC. However,
until the operation of the envisaged European Acceptance Scheme for construction products in contact with
water intended for human consumption and the revision of the present document, products complying with
this document may be used for the transport of water intended for human consumption if they comply with the
relevant national, regional or local regulatory provisions applicable in the place of use.
Annexes A to D are informative.
This document includes a Bibliography.
