Overview
EN ISO 10468:2023 / ISO 10468:2023 specifies standardized test methods to determine the ring creep properties of glass‑reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP pipes) under wet or dry conditions. The standard defines how to measure key long‑term mechanical behaviours – notably the creep factor and the long‑term ring creep stiffness – using ring‑type test pieces subjected to vertical compressive loading. Wet testing is performed by total immersion in water to simulate in‑service conditions; dry testing is typically used for raw material consistency and quality control.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Measured properties
- Creep factor (αx,creep): ratio of long‑term ring creep stiffness to initial ring stiffness at a defined reference position.
- Long‑term ring creep stiffness (Sx,1,creep): extrapolated ring stiffness at a reference position (position 1) for a defined exposure time x.
- Test conditions
- Wet testing: total immersion in water to simulate long‑term service exposure.
- Dry testing: controlled dry environment for material consistency checks.
- Apparatus and test set‑up
- Compressive loading machine, specified force application surfaces (plates or beam bars), water container for immersion, and precision measuring devices for deflection/time or stiffness/time.
- Specimen preparation and conditioning
- Requirements for test piece dimensions, number of specimens, and pre‑conditioning prior to testing.
- Procedure and calculations
- Defined test procedures for constant load testing, measurement of deflection or stiffness over time, extrapolation methods for long‑term performance, and reporting requirements (option to plot deflection vs time or stiffness vs time).
- Reference measurements
- Initial ring stiffness is determined in accordance with ISO 7685, and regression/extrapolation methods reference ISO 10928.
- Reporting
- Mandatory test report items include specimen details, test conditions (wet/dry), measured data, extrapolation method, and calculated creep factor and long‑term stiffness.
Applications
- Performance verification and lifetime assessment of GRP pipes in potable water, wastewater, irrigation, industrial fluid transport, and buried piping systems.
- Quality control and raw material consistency checks during manufacturing (dry creep tests).
- Design input for structural and hydraulic engineers assessing long‑term deformation under external loads.
- Product certification, procurement specifications, and compliance testing for standards and regulations.
Who should use this standard
- GRP pipe manufacturers and R&D laboratories
- Independent testing and certification bodies
- Civil, mechanical and pipeline design engineers
- Quality assurance teams, procurement officers, and regulators
Related standards
- ISO 7685 - Determination of initial ring stiffness (referenced for S0)

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10468:2018), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the Introduction has been deleted as the information is no longer relevant to this edition of the
document;
— in the test report, the “plot of measured deflection versus time” has been changed from an obligation
into an option of plotting deflection versus time or stiffness versus time;
— initial ring stiffness according to ISO 7685 can now be measured by constant load or constant
deflection.
