This tank has Ireland’s first CEN Certificate for a Precast Concrete Septic Tank:

Following rigorous testing at the Institute for Wastewater Technology (PIA Gmbh) in Germany, McGraths Precast Concrete Ltd has been awardedIreland’s first CEN Certificate for a Precast concrete septic tank in accordance with EN 12566-1.

Why is CEN Certification important?

Local Authorities in Irelandwill 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 from 1st of May 2012. Choosing a system with this certification will now be a critical part of your planning application.

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 water-tightness, capacity, hydraulic efficiency and structural behaviour, and acts as a benchmark for systems throughout Ireland and across Europe.
