BS EN ISO 15875-2:2003+A2:2020
This standard BS EN ISO 15875-2:2003+A2:2020 Plastics piping systems for hot and cold water installations. Crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) is classified in these ICS categories:
- 91.140.60 Water supply systems
- 23.040.20 Plastics pipes
This Part of EN ISO 15875 specifies the characteristics of pipes made from crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) for piping systems intended to be used for hot and cold water installations within buildings for the conveyance of water, whether or not intended for human consumption (domestic systems), and for heating systems, under design pressures and temperatures appropriate to the class of application (see Table 1 of EN ISO 15875?1:2003).
This standard covers a range of service conditions, (application classes), design pressures and pipe dimension classes. For values of TD, Tmax and Tmal in excess of those in Table 1 of Part 1, this standard does not apply.
NOTE 1 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.
In conjunction with the other Parts of EN ISO 15875 (see Foreword) it is applicable to PE-X pipes, their joints and to joints with components of PE-X, other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for hot and cold water installations.
It is applicable to pipes with or without (a) barrier layer(s).
NOTE 2 In the case of plastics pipes provided with a thin barrier layer, e.g. to prevent or greatly diminish the diffusion of gases and the transmission of light into or through the pipe wall, the design stress requirements are totally met by the base polymer (PE-X).
