Foreword
This document (prEN 15015:2014) 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 15015:2007.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
Introduction
This European Standard specifies only those characteristics of pipes and fittings for hot and cold water
applications with the exception of water intended for human consumption that need to be known to determine
if the works in which these are to be installed can satisfy the essential requirements of the EU Directive(s).
Additional characteristics are specified in the documents listed in clause 2 or in other appropriate product
specifications.
This harmonised European Standard covers pipes and fittings for hot and cold water installations. Valves are
covered by CEN/TC 69
