Question for understanding:
Is it about leading the household wastewater into the sewer, or water that collects via a floor drain in the basement?
Is there a modern sewer system with separate foul and rainwater?
For a floor drain, I might understand a lifting system because of the backwater level, but not for household wastewater discharged through a closed pipe system. If there is sufficient slope to the sewer pipe, the pipes can also be routed below the basement floor and drain properly. Purely physically speaking, I don't know the regulations about that.
In general, all wastewater pipes leaving a building are frost-proof deep below street level. However, very few houses have a lifting system. Therefore, I do not understand the statement about the backwater level here.
To protect against backwater, check valves can be used; this is often recommended or even required.
