Introduction
With respect to potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused
by the product covered by this document:
— This document provides no information as to whether the product may be used without restriction
in any of the member states of the EU or EFTA;
— It should be noted that, while awaiting the adoption of the verifiable European criteria, existing
national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of this product remain in force.
— The requirements with regard to the drinking water quality are specified in national regulations.
prEN 13828:2023 (E)
1 Scope
This document applies primarily to copper alloy and stainless steel ball valves with dimensions DN 6 to
DN 100, for installations in buildings for potable water supply up to PN16 and a maximum distribution
temperature of 65 °C. Occasional excursions up to 90 °C are permitted for a period of 1 h maximum.
The ball valves are classified by their nominal pressure being either PN10 or PN16.
This document specifies:
— the requirements of the materials and the design of ball valves;
— the mechanical, hydraulic and acoustic requirements of ball valves;
— the test methods to verify the requirements of ball valves;
— the marking requirements of ball valves.

ball valves
valves in which a ball, operated manually or via an actuator, rotates around an axis perpendicular to at
least one of the directions of flow; the ball has a hole where in open position the water will flow through,
in a straight or angled line
Note 1 to entry: Ball valves have a normal operating position of either fully open or fully closed. Ball valves wi
