DESCRIPTION

PD CEN/TS 18116:2024


This standard PD CEN/TS 18116:2024 Thermoplastics pipes and fittings. Design for recycling guidelines is classified in these ICS categories:
  • 13.030.50 Recycling
  • 23.040.20 Plastics pipes
  • 23.040.45 Plastics fittings
This document specifies design for recycling guidelines for thermoplastics pipes and fittings, used as construction products or used for water supply to irrigation systems. NOTE 1 Components used in irrigation systems such as flexibles and drip lines are not part of this document. NOTE 2 Pipes and fittings used for cable management are not part of this document. NOTE 3 Packaging of pipes and fittings is not part of this document. The guidelines in this document are developed to facilitate mechanical recycling. NOTE 4 The guidelines could also be beneficial for chemical recycling. Thermoplastics pipes and fittings are considered to be those, where the total volume of the thermoplastic compound/formulation exceeds 50 %. This document can also be used for other thermoplastics products used in a piping system such as manholes, inspection chambers, infiltration boxes and valves.
