- Distinguishes procedures and acceptance requirements for normal vs extreme conditions.
- Intended for manufacturer and laboratory assessment of component combinations - not intended for on‑site system testing.
- Performance limits and responsibilities
- The purchaser/specifier is responsible for selecting appropriate pressure classes, colours and any national/regulatory requirements for drinking water contact.
Practical applications
- Design validation and type‑testing of PE piping systems for:
- Drinking water distribution and raw water conveyance
- Pressure sewers, vacuum sewers and other pressurised drainage

Who should use this standard
- PE pipe, fitting and valve manufacturers
- Materials and component testing laboratories
- Product conformity and certification bodies
- System designers, specifiers and purchasers needing to verify system performance and joint integrity
- Standards committees and regulators referencing system-level fitness-for-purpose criteria
Related standards
