Basics - DIN EN 124

Classifications

The classes of covers and tops suitable for use depend on the installation location. The various installation points are divided into groups with numbers from 1 to 6, as shown below. The picture shows the location of some of these groups within a street. For each group, the class of cover or top that should be used is indicated in brackets as a guideline. The choice of the appropriate class is left to the user / planner. In cases of doubt, choose the next higher class.

(min. class A 15)

Surfaces that can only be used by pedestrians and cyclists.

(min. class B 125)

Pavements, pedestrian zones and comparable areas, car parking areas and car parking decks.

(min. class C 250)

For attachments in the kerb area of streets which, measured from the kerb edge, extend no more than 0.5m into the roadway and no more than 0.2m into the pedestrian zone.

(min. class D 400)

Roadways of streets (including pedestrian streets), verges of streets and parking areas that are approved for all types of road vehicles.

(min. class E 600)

Surfaces that are driven over with high wheel loads, e.g. port facilities, air traffic areas.

(Class F 900)

Surfaces that are driven over with particularly high wheel loads, e.g. air traffic areas.

(min. class A 15)

Surfaces that can only be used by pedestrians and cyclists.

(min. class B 125)

Pavements, pedestrian zones and comparable areas, car parking areas and car parking decks.

(min. class C 250)

For attachments in the kerb area of streets which, measured from the kerb edge, extend no more than 0.5m into the roadway and no more than 0.2m into the pedestrian zone.

(min. class D 400)

Roadways of streets (including pedestrian streets), verges of streets and parking areas that are approved for all types of road vehicles.

(min. class E 600)

Surfaces that are driven over with high wheel loads, e.g. port facilities, air traffic areas.

(Class F 900)

Surfaces that are driven over with particularly high wheel loads, e.g. air traffic areas.

Load classes

Scope: This standard (DIN EN 124) applies to tops and covers with a clear width of up to 1000 mm for installation in surfaces intended for pedestrian and / or vehicular traffic.

A 15according to DIN EN 124can be walked on according to DIN 1055
B 125according to DIN EN 124can be driven on by cars according to DIN 1055
C 250according to DIN EN 124SLW 30 according to DIN 1072
D 400according to DIN EN 124SLW 60 according to DIN 1072
E 600according to DIN EN 124

according to customer load specification 

(Vehicle data sheet or similar)

F 900according to DIN EN 124

according to customer load specification
(Vehicle data sheet or similar)

The purpose of this standard is to specify the definition, classes, materials, construction and testing principles, as well as the marking and quality control for mass produced attachments and covers mainly made of cast iron.

When using other materials such as e.g. steel, stainless steel, aluminium, composite constructions or reinforced concrete or when manufacturing individual covers / tops, the application of this standard does not make sense, as there are recognised calculation methods (static calculation) for these materials under an assumed load.

The expected loads for these covers are applied in the static calculation according to DIN 1055-3 ("Action on supporting structures"), DIN 1072 ("Load assumptions for road and path bridges") and DIN technical report 101 ("Action on bridges") and the cover is designed accordingly.
