Overview

SIST EN ISO 13264:2018 is an international standard developed by CEN and ISO TC 138 that specifies a test method for the mechanical strength or flexibility of fabricated thermoplastic fittings used in non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage systems. This standard is applicable to thermoplastics piping systems designed for gravity-driven flow conditions, ensuring the durability and reliability of fittings installed underground.

The standard provides detailed procedures for evaluating how these fabricated fittings withstand mechanical moments or displacements at critical points, which is key to ensuring long-term performance in sewer and drainage applications. It supersedes EN 12256:1998 and aligns closely with ISO 13264:2010.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Purpose
    The standard applies to fabricated thermoplastic fittings intended for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage. It defines a standardized method to test the mechanical strength or flexibility critical to fitting performance.

  • Test Principle
    A fabricated fitting assembled with pipes and anchorages is subjected to a specified moment or displacement at a critical point where structural damage may start. The test records signs of cracking, splitting, separation, or leakage.

  • Test Assembly and Apparatus

    • Anchorages that hold fittings rigid without deformation
    • Equipment to apply precise forces translating into moments at critical points
    • Instruments to measure force and displacement accurately
    • Additional means, such as pressure testing, to detect leakage
  • Sample Preparation and Conditioning
    Test pieces are conditioned at ambient temperature (23 ± 5) °C for 21 days before testing. Samples consist of fabricated fittings joined to appropriate pipes, following manufacturer’s instructions for jointing (mechanical, cemented, or fused).

  • Test Procedure Details
    Forces are applied gradually over 1 to 20 seconds to reach the specified moment or displacement. The load is maintained for 15 minutes while monitoring for mechanical failure or leakage. Variations apply depending on joint types (mechanical or non-mechanical).

  • Applied Moments and Displacements
    Values are standardized by nominal pipe size, for example:

    • DN 110 mm requires a minimum moment of 0.20 kN·m and displacement of 170 mm
    • DN 1000 mm requires a minimum moment of 10.00 kN·m and displacement of 170 mm
  • Reporting Requirements
    The test report must include product identity, jointing method, test conditions, applied forces or displacements, observed failures, test apparatus description, and date of test.

Applications

This standard is particularly relevant for:

  • Manufacturers of thermoplastic fittings used in underground sewerage and drainage pipelines.
  • Testing laboratories performing quality assurance and compliance testing for non-pressure piping systems.
  • Engineers and planners specifying durable and flexible fittings that withstand underground loads without leakage or failure.
  • Regulatory bodies and standards organizations harmonizing material performance criteria for sewage and drainage infrastructure.

Adoption of SIST EN ISO 13264:2018 ensures fittings have demonstrated mechanical robustness and flexibility vital for long-term reliability in gravity-driven, non-pressure environments such as septic systems, stormwater drainage, and municipal sewer networks.

Related Standards

  • ISO 13264:2010 – Original international standard on which SIST EN ISO 13264:2018 is based.
  • EN 12256:1998 – Predecessor European standard for thermoplastic fittings mechanical testing.
  • ISO/TC 138 Standards – Other standards concerning plastics pipes, fittings, and valves for fluid transport.
  • EN ISO 9001 – Quality management standards supporting manufacturing consistency in thermoplastics piping systems.
  • ISO 14001 – Environmental management standards relevant to sustainable production of thermoplastic fittings.

Together, these standards provide comprehensive guidance covering materials, fabrication, mechanical testing, and quality assurance for thermoplastic piping systems in non-pressure underground applications.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
