text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by August 2005.
This document supersedes EN 612:1995.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,

EN 612:2005 (E)
Introduction
This document specifies product requirements, derived from performance requirements established for
various applications and is supported by separate standards for specific and common test methods in the
framework of respective material standards. The performance of a gutter and drainage system made with
these products depends not only on the properties of the products as they are defined by this document. The
design, construction and behaviour of the relevant parts of the building also have an effect on the performance
of the system.

EN 612:2005 (E)
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for eaves gutters and rainwater down-pipes made from metal sheet. It
establishes the general characteristics, designation system, classification, marking and quality requirements
for the products.
The document applies to eaves gutters and external rainwater down-pipes that are supported by metal
brackets and used to drain away rainwater. The shape and dimensions of a gutter are defined by the quantity
of water to be drained away from the roof to the down-pipes and by architectural design requirements.
The document specifies the requirements for gutters and rainwater down-pipes which enable these products
to meet all usual service conditions such as catching and draining away rainwater, melted snow or ice water
from a building to a drainage system or a sewer outside the building.
Requirements for fixings, supporting construction, flashings or the method of making joints between the
different components are not included in this document.
This document does not specify requirements for eaves gutters handmade on site.

4 Shapes
4.1 Gutters
4.1.1 Components
A gutter, formed from one piece of metal sheet, shall consist of the following four main parts:
 bead;
 front;
 bottom and
 back.
6
EN 612:2005 (E)
Together, these parts form a trough-shape with an opening at the top to admit rainwater. The most commonly
used shapes are shown in Figure 1.
The shape of the gutter is described by
 bead dimensions;
 height of the front;
 outside width of the bottom;
 height of the back;
 upper opening width and
 developed width.
4.1.2 General requirements on the main parts
4.1.2.1 Bead
The bead has to fulfil two functions,
a) to give stiffness to the gutter in both the horizontal and the vertical direction,
b) to form a fixing point for the gutter brackets.
The shape of the bead shall meet an agreed drawing within the tolerances given in 7.1.2.
Three of the most widely used shapes of bead are shown in Figure 2. The diameter of the bead, dimension d
in Figure 2, shall be not smaller than the corresponding value in Table 1. The load bearing capacity and
stiffness of other beads shall be not less than that of a bead of a circular type, Figure 2, shape I, of the same
material in both the horizontal and the vertical direction. This shall be proved by calculation of the modulus of
section.
4.1.2.2 Front
The shape and dimensions of the front shall meet an agreed drawing within the tolerances given in 7.1.2.
The vertical height of the front, dimension a in Figure 1, or the sum of bead diameter plus vertical height if the
front, dimensions a + d in Figure 1 or Figure 2b, shall be not less than the corresponding value given in
Table 1.
4.1.2.3 Bottom
The shape and dimensions of the bottom are dependent upon the type of gutter. The shape and dimensions
of the bottom, together with those of the front and the back, control the upper opening width, dimension e of
Figure 1. If the outside width of the bottom, dimension b of Figure 1, is defined, the tolerances given in 7.1.2
apply.
4.1.2.4 Back
The shape and dimensions of the back shall meet an agreed drawing within the tolerances given in 7.1.2.
The vertical height of the back, dimension c of Figure 1, shall be greater than the vertical height of the front by
not less than 6 mm when a water check is formed on the back, or 15 mm when there is no water check.
7
EN 612:2005 (E)
4.2 Down-pipes
The shape and dimensions of down-pipes are defined by the quantity of rainwater to be drained away and by
architectural design requirements. Preferred shapes are circular and square. Other shapes shall be in
accordance with an agreed drawing supplied by the purchaser.
