European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 12200-2:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155
“Plastics piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 12200-2:2003.
Compared with CEN/TS 12200-2:2003, the following changes have been made:
a) use of the template drafted by CEN/TC 155/WG 21 for assessment of conformity documents
(change of “Terms and definitions” and addition of 1 column “Sampling procedures” in Tables);
b) introduction of “Limits of addition of PVC reprocessed and recycled material” in a separate table
(Table 2);
c) addition of an informative Annex A: Basic test matrix.
EN 12200 consists of the following Parts, under the general title “Plastics rainwater piping systems for
above ground external use — Unplasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-U)”.
— Part 1: Specifications for pipes, fittings and the system;
— Part 2: Guidance for the assessment of conformity;
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France,

Introduction
Figures 1 and 2 are intended to provide general information on the concept of testing and organization
of those tests used for the purpose of the assessment of conformity. For each type of test, i.e. type test
(TT), batch release test (BRT), process verification test (PVT) and audit test (AT), this part of EN 12200
details the applicable characteristics to be assessed and the frequency and sampling of testing.
A typical scheme for the assessment of conformity of materials (formulations), pipes, fittings or
assemblies by manufacturers is given in Figure 1.

1 Scope
This part of EN 12200 gives guidance for the assessment of conformity of formulations, products, joints
and assemblies in accordance with EN 12200-1:2016 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s
quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of third-party
certification procedures.
NOTE In order to help the reader, a basic test matrix is given in Annex A.
In conjunction with EN 12200-1:2016, this document is applicable to piping systems made of
unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) intended to be used for above ground external rainwater,
and to fittings and brackets made of acrylic materials which may be used in combination with the pipes.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
