What is E600?
E600 is one of the load classes defined in EN 1433, the European standard for drainage channels for vehicular and pedestrian areas. The E600 classification covers specialist applications requiring a higher structural rating than D400 but where the extreme-duty F900 classification may not be specified.

E600 Applications
E600 drainage is typically considered for specialist environments where D400 is insufficient but a full F900 specification is not required. This can include some airport taxiway areas, specialist industrial applications and heavy loading dock environments. If your project specifies E600, confirm the exact requirement with the project engineer — in some cases D400 or F900 products may be acceptable alternatives.
