NOTE 1   Additional information related to the installation of PE 100-RC systems is given in prEN 1555-1:2024, Annex A.
NOTE 2   Additional information about the suitability of PE pipe systems for hydrogen and its admixtures is given in prEN 1555-1:2024, Annex B.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this document.
In conjunction with EN 1555-1, EN 1555-3, EN 1555-4 and EN 1555-5, this document is applicable to PE pipes, fittings and valves, their joints, and joints with components of PE and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions:
a)   a maximum operating pressure (MOP), up to and including 10 bar  at a design reference temperature of 20 °C;
b)   an operating temperature between −20 °C and 40 °C.
For operating temperatures between 20 °C and 40 °C derating coefficients are defined in EN 1555-5.
The EN 1555 series covers a range of MOPs and gives requirements concerning colours.
This document is applicable to three types of pipe:
-   PE pipes (outside diameter dn) including any identification stripes;
-   PE pipes with co-extruded layers on either or both the outside and/or inside of the pipe (total outside diameter dn) as specified in Annex A, where all PE layers have the same MRS rating;
-   PE pipes (outside diameter dn) with a peelable and contiguous thermoplastics additional layer on the outside of the pipe ("coated pipe") as specified in Annex B.
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 guidance or regulations and installation practices or codes.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1555-2:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics
piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1555-2:2021.
System Standards are based on the results of the work being undertaken in ISO/TC 138 “Plastics pipes,
fittings and valves for the transport of fluids”, which is a Technical Committee of the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
They are supported by separate standards on test methods to which references are made throughout the
System Standard.
The System Standards are consistent with general standards on functional requirements and on
recommended practice for installation.
EN 1555 consists of the following parts:
— EN 1555-1, Plastics piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels — Polyethylene (PE) — Part 1:
General;
— EN 1555-2, Plastics piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels — Polyethylene (PE) — Part 2: Pipes
(this standard);
— EN 1555-3, Plastics piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels — Polyethylene (PE) — Part 3:
Fittings;
— EN 1555-4, Plastics piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels — Polyethylene (PE) — Part 4: Valves;
— EN 1555-5, Plastics piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels — Polyethylene (PE) — Part 5: Fitness
for purpose of the system;
In addition, the following document provides guidance on the assessment of conformity:
— CEN/TS 1555-7, Plastics piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels — Polyethylene (PE) — Part 7:
Guidance for assessment of conformity.
The revision of this System Standard has been carried out to add reference to information related to the
suitability of PE pipe systems for 100 % hydrogen and its admixtures with natural gas.
NOTE EN 12007-2 prepared by CEN/TC 234 “Gas infrastructure” deals with the recommended practice for
installation of plastics pipes system in accordance with EN 1555 (all parts).

Introduction
The EN 1555 series specifies the requirements for a piping system and its components made from
polyethylene (PE) compounds, which is intended to be used for the supply of gaseous fuels.
This document covers the characteristics of pipes.
Requirements and test methods for materials and components, other than pipes, are specified in
EN 1555-1, EN 1555-3 and EN 1555-4.
Characteristics for fitness for purpose of the system are covered in EN 1555-5. CEN/TS 1555-7 gives
guidance for assessment of conformity.
Recommended practice for design, handling and installation is given in EN 12007-2.
