Anua, the environmental systems business owned by Bord na
Móna, has received CEN certification for its unique septic
tank.
Following rigorous testing at the Institute for Wastewater
Technology (PIA Gmbh) in Germany, Anua has been awarded Ireland’s
first CEN Certificate for a septic tank in accordance with
EN 12566-1.
From 1st May, 2012, Local Authorities in Ireland will be
adopting EN 12566-1 (Small Wastewater Treatment Systems for
up to 50PT – Part1: Prefabricated Septic Tanks) as the minimum
requirement for a new septic tank. Choosing a system with
this certification will now be a critical part of applications.
The CEN standard, also adopted by the NSAI, specifies a range
of requirements and test methods in relation to septic tank
design and performance - specifically watertightness, capacity,
hydraulic efficiency and structural behaviour - and acts as
a benchmark for systems throughout Ireland and across Europe.
The Anua septic tank, new to the Irish market, bears a unique
spherical design. Rather than the standard concrete, it is
moulded from glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) and arrives onsite
as a complete system, requiring just installation in the ground
and connection.
