BS EN ISO 13263:2017

This standard BS EN ISO 13263:2017 Thermoplastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage. Thermoplastics fittings. Test method for impact strength is classified in these ICS categories:

• 23.040.45 Plastics fittings
• 91.140.80 Drainage systems
• 93.030 External sewage systems
• 23.040.20 Plastics pipes

This International Standard specifies a method for testing the impact resistance of fittings by dropping them on to a rigid surface. For a fitting with seal-retaining components, such as seal-retaining caps or rings, the method includes assessment of the watertightness of the fittings when the fixing elements show damage as a result of the test.

This International Standard is applicable to fittings made from thermoplastics materials intended to be used for buried and above-ground applications.
