Overview
EN 681-2:2000/A2:2005 is a CEN European standard (Amendment A2 to EN 681-2:2000) that specifies material requirements for thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) used in pipe joint seals for water supply and drainage applications. The amendment was approved by CEN on 14 July 2005 and updates the Part 2 requirements for elastomeric seals used in plumbing and sewerage systems. The standard is intended for adoption by CEN national bodies and applies across member countries.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Material specification and quality expectations for thermoplastic elastomers used in seals for water and drainage pipe joints.
- Material focus: Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) as the specified class of seal material for this part of EN 681.
- Factory production control: The amendment replaces the previous Clause 7 and requires manufacturers to establish and maintain an effective documented factory production control system, including continuous inspection to ensure ongoing compliance with the product standard.
- Normative references: The amendment removes references to EN ISO 9002 and EN ISO 9003 (quality assurance models) from Clause 2, reflecting updated conformity and quality management referencing.
- Implementation: CEN members are obliged to adopt this amended text as a national standard (identical or endorsed) and withdraw conflicting national standards by the stipulated deadline.
Applications and who uses this standard
EN 681-2:2000/A2:2005 is practical for:
- Seal and gasket manufacturers specifying and sourcing TPE compounds for water/drainage pipe joints.
- Product designers and R&D teams developing joint sealing systems that must meet European material requirements.
- Specifiers, procurement professionals and consulting engineers who need to reference harmonized material standards in project specifications.
- Water utilities, wastewater authorities and contractors requiring compliant joint seals for distribution and sewer systems.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors verifying manufacturer production control and material compliance.
Related standards
- EN 681 is a multi-part series covering elastomeric seals for pipe joints; Part 2 specifically addresses thermoplastic elastomers.
- The amendment explicitly removes references to EN ISO 9002 and EN ISO 9003 from its normative references; users should instead consult current quality management standards and national implementations.
Keywords: EN 681-2, thermoplastic elastomers, TPE, pipe joint seals, water and drainage, material requirements, factory production control, CEN, amendment A2.
