Changes for pipes and manholes

Implications of the ECJ judgment

The judgment that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) issued against Germany on 16 October 2014 will change German construction legislation. To implement the ECJ judgment, the Building Codes of the German federal states (Landesbauordnungen), the Lists of Technical Building Rules (Listen der Technischen Baubestimmungen) and Construction Products Lists (Bauregellisten) will be amended, and the requirements for construction products will be linked to the requirements for construction works, which continue to apply. The first federal states will adopt these amended regulations in 2018.
