Introduction
The System Standard, of which this is Part 2, specifies the requirements for a piping system made from
oriented unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) pipes and its components. The piping system is
intended to be used for water supply, pressurized drainage, sewerage, treated waste water and irrigation
systems to be used underground or above ground where protected from direct sunlight.
In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused
by the products covered by this part of EN 17176, the following is relevant:
a) This part of EN 17176 provides no information as to whether or not the products can be used without
restriction.
b) Existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of these products remain
in force.
Requirements and test methods for PVC-O components are specified in EN 17176-1 and
CEN/TS 17176-3. For other components (not manufactured from PVC-O) reference is made to the
following standards: EN ISO 1452-3 (PVC-U) [2] and EN 12842 (Cast Iron) [1]. Characteristics for fitness
for purpose (mainly for joints) are established in EN 17176-5.
This part of EN 17176 specifies the characteristics of PVC-O pipes.
1 Scope
This part of EN 17176 specifies the characteristics of solid-wall pipes made of oriented unplasticized
poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) for piping systems intended for water supply and for buried drainage,
sewerage, treated waste water and irrigation under pressure or above-ground where protected from
direct sunlight. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this document.
In conjunction with EN 17176-1 and EN 17176-5, it is applicable to oriented PVC-O pipes with or without
integral socket intended to be used for the following:
a) water mains and services lines;
b) conveyance of water for both outside and inside buildings;
c) drainage, sewerage and treated waste water under pressure;
d) irrigation under pressure.
It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water with a maximum allowable operating
1)
pressure (PFA) up to and including 25 bar . The piping system according to this document is intended
for the conveyance of cold water up to and including 45 °C and especially in those applications where
special performance requirements are needed, such as impact loads and pressure fluctuations.
For temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C, Figure C.1 of this document applies.
This part of EN 17176 specifies a range of pipe sizes and pressure classes and gives a requirement and
recommendations concerning colours.
NOTE 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 regulations and installation
practices or codes.
