Overview
SIST EN ISO 13255:2018 is a European Standard adopted from ISO 13255:2010 that specifies a test method for assessing the airtightness of joints in thermoplastics piping systems used for soil and waste discharge inside buildings. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 138 and CEN Technical Committee 155, this standard ensures the reliability and safety of piping joints by providing a systematic approach to testing their airtightness under defined conditions.
This standard is crucial for manufacturers, installers, and testing laboratories involved in thermoplastics piping systems for internal drainage and waste disposal to verify joint performance, prevent gas leaks, and maintain hygiene and environmental safety within buildings.
Key Topics
Scope of Testing
SIST EN ISO 13255:2018 defines a method to test airtightness of pipe joints made from thermoplastic materials used within building drainage systems, focusing on soil and waste discharge.Test Assembly and Setup
The test involves assembling pipes and fittings sealed with end plugs that allow controlled water filling and air pressurization. The setup includes:- End-sealing devices securely restrained without applying longitudinal forces
- Air pressure source maintaining pressure within ±10% tolerance
- Pressure measurement devices for monitoring test pressure
- Water inlet and outlet controls to fill pipes up to half their internal bore volume
Testing Procedure
Testing is performed at (23 ± 5) °C using cold tap water. Steps include:- Application of a leak-detecting soapy solution around the joint
- Filling the test assembly with water to half fill
- Pressurization of the system to 0.1 bar (±0.01) air pressure
- Holding pressure for 5 minutes while inspecting for leaks
- Applying angular deflections (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) to the joint to simulate operational stresses
- Maintaining each deflection for 1 minute while monitoring leakage
- Final depressurization, drainage, and inspection for any damage or leaks
Test Reporting
The standard specifies detailed reporting requirements including:- Identification of tested components and their dimensions
- Test conditions such as temperature, pressure, duration, and deflection angles
- Observations on leakage, rupture points, and component appearance changes
- Any external factors affecting the results
- Date and referencing SIST EN ISO 13255:2018 and referring standards
Applications
Quality Assurance in Manufacturing
Thermoplastics pipe and fitting manufacturers use this test method to ensure joint designs meet airtightness requirements, thereby improving product quality.Installation Verification
Contractors and installers can verify the integrity of joints post-installation, reducing risks of leakage that could lead to gas odors, pollution, or structural damage.Regulatory Compliance
Compliance with SIST EN ISO 13255:2018 supports adherence to European building codes and environmental standards regarding drainage and waste discharge systems.Maintenance and Safety Evaluation
Facilities management professionals use this standard's methods to periodically assess existing thermoplastics piping installations for potential leakage, enhancing operational safety and environmental protection.
