11 Qualification
Annex A (informative) Abstract from Council Directive
        of 17 September 1990 on the procurement
        procedures of entities operating in the water,
        energy, transport and telecommunication sectors

Applies to trenchless construction and testing of new drains and sewers in the ground, operating as gravity pipelines, formed using prefabricated pipes and their joints. Trenchless construction and testing of drains and sewers operating under pressure is also covered together with prEN 805. Also applicable to trenchless replacement techniques, but does not apply to renovation techniques for existing drains and sewers.
