Plastics piping systems for hot and cold water installations — Crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) — Part 1: General ISO 15875-1:2003

Publication date:   Dec 8, 2003

Scope

ISO 15875-1:2003 specifies the general aspects of crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) piping systems intended to be used for hot and cold water installations, within buildings, for the conveyance of water which may or may not be intended for human consumption (domestic systems) or for heating systems, under design pressures and temperatures appropriate to the class of application.
It covers a range of service conditions (classes of application), design pressures and pipe dimension classes.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in the standard.
In conjunction with the other parts of ISO 15875, it is applicable to PE-X pipes, fittings and their joints, including joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for hot and cold water installations.
