accordance with 4.3.1.4 that does not include any PU insulation material or other materials, and
containing only those anti-oxidants, UV-stabilizers and carbon black necessary for the manufacture and
end use of pipes. The black coloured PE material to be extruded shall be classified at least a PE 80
material in accordance with EN ISO 12162.
The carbon black content shall, when tested in accordance with ISO 6964, be (2,0 to 2,5) % by mass.
NOTE The required carbon black content ensures UV stability for the service life.
The carbon black shall be finely dispersed in the material. When tested in accordance with ISO 18553 as
specified in 5.2.3, the following requirements shall be met:
— Carbon black agglomerates and particles shall be grade ≤ 3.
— Dispersion appearance rating not worse than A1, A2, A3 or B in ISO 18553.
4.3.1.2 Melt mass-flow rate
The melt mass-flow rate (MFR), in g/10 min, of black PE materials used for the manufacturing of
casings shall lie within 0,2 ≤ MFR ≤ 1,4 g/10 min determined in accordance with EN ISO 1133-1,
condition 5 kg, 190 °C.
Black coloured PE materials conforming to 4.3.1.1, which do not differ more than 0,5 g/10 min in MFR
shall be considered fusible to each other.
Casings made of PE materials outside this MFR range of 0,5 g/10 min may be fusion welded provided
that the pipe manufacturer has demonstrated fusion compatibility by preparing a butt fusion joint using
the parameters as specified in Annex A of ISO 11414:2009. The requirement of fusion compatibility is a
ductile failure mode of the joint when tested at 23 °C in accordance with ISO 13953.
4.3.1.3 Thermal stability
The thermal stability is determined by oxygen induction time (OIT) of the black coloured PE material
and shall be at least 20 min when tested at 210 °C according to EN ISO 11357-6.
4.3.1.4 Use of reprocessed material
Only clean, not degraded, reprocessed material, generated from the manufacturer's own production of
pipes that does not include any PU ins
