Guidelines for the structural analysis of buried GRP-UP pipelines are addressed in CEN/TS 14807. Guidance for the Assessment of Conformity of products made in accordance with this standard is addressed in CEN/TS 14632. 4.1.2 Categories Pipes and fittings shall be classified according to nominal size (DN) (see 3.1), nominal pressure (PN) (see 3.9) and joint type. In addition, pipes shall include nominal stiffness (SN) (see 3.2) in their classification. 4.1.3 Nominal size The nominal size (DN) of pipes and fittings shall conform to the appropriate Tables in Clause 5. If a thermoplastics liner is present, its internal diameter shall be declared by the manufacturer. The tolerance on the diameter shall be as specified in Clause 5. 4.1.4 Nominal stiffness The nominal stiffness, SN, shall conform to one of those given in Table 1. These nominal stiffnesses correspond to the values specified in Clause 5 for the minimum initial specific ring stiffness, in Newtons per square metre (N/m2). Pipes of nominal stiffness less than SN 1250 are not intended for laying directly in the ground. Where special applications require the use of pipes having a higher nominal stiffness than those given in Table 1 the pipe shall be marked SN v, where v is the number equal to the pipes nominal stiffness.

In either of these types of glass small amounts of oxides of other metals will be present. NOTE These descriptions for 'C' glass and 'E' glass are consistent with, but more specific than those given in
EN ISO 2078 [2]. The reinforcement shall be made from continuously drawn filaments of a glass conforming to type E, type C or type R, and shall have a surface treatment compatible with the resin to be used.
