5. Title, number of pages  and language(s)  of the notified document:  DUS EAS 426 -
5:2006, Concrete pipes a nd ancillary concrete products - Part 5: Specification for ogee pipes 
and fittings (including perforated), (44 pages, in English).  
6. Description of content:  This Draft Uganda Standard specifies requirements for precast 
concrete cylindrical units, perfor ated or unperforated, each with ogee or other rebated 
joints, either unreinforced or reinforced with steel cages or hoops. Perforated unreinforced 
pipes are also included. The units specified are intended for drainage and for the 
construction of culverts, other than systems carrying foul water. The specification covers 
constituent materials, dimensional requirements, performance requirements, appropriate 
test methods and inspection procedures. This standard does not include the structural or 
hydraulic desig n of the pipeline, its durability under unusual environmental conditions or 
standards of workmanship and supervision during construction and operation.
