Bought ground pipes (110mm underground drainage pipes) at Hornbach. I was confused about the classification of these. SN4 is not what we're accustomed to in Sweden; we usually have SN8 or sometimes SN12. Went back to the store and asked, and it turned out that these are, for example, not approved for municipal land. The salesperson told me it's not worth taking this up with the purchasing department at the head office. The advice I got from the salesperson was to return the pipes! Also learned that their gray drainage pipes are not approved for embedding in, for example, slabs in Sweden. Tried to contact the head office to get an answer. It's obvious the switchboard has been tasked with filtering out this type of call. After being stalled by the operator for over half an hour, I just had to give up. If I sell the property, I'm the one responsible to my buyer; I don't want to be sleepless for 10 years because I used the wrong pipes. Are there more products from Hornbach that don't meet Swedish regulations that one should be cautious about buying? Feel free to share tips!

Most barn constructions only have B-class pipes and parts, so there will likely be a number of pipes embedded that are not according to the regulations. There are plenty of threads about this with the conclusion that Bauhaus, Hornbach and others are out, and strangely enough, one has to go to Biltema to find bd-classed (unless buying from a reputable place).
