This document is applicable to two-way or multi-way ball valves manufactured with all types of polypropylene (PP) and chlorinated polyvinylchloride (PVC-C) thermoplastic materials to be used for the transport of pressurized water whether or not intended for human consumption (domestic systems) for applications in buildings and utility branches. NOTE 1 The two-way valve is generally used for sectioning and control of flows, and the multi-way valve is used to divert or mix the flows. For information on their functionality, see ISO 16135:2006, Annex B. NOTE 2    The reader of this document is informed that the water intended for human consumption is subjected to national, regional or local regulatory provisions as applicable. The application classes are indicated in ISO 15874 and ISO 15877 series. This document specifies valve characteristics as follows: - dimensions for assembly in the relevant pipelines,    - physical and mechanical requirements.   Other materials can fit the scope of this document if the application classes are specified in a material related specific standard Ball valves specified in this document are not intended to be used in conjunction with pipes made by metallic material and copper alloys

This document gives requirements and guidance for the assessment of conformity of formulations, products and assemblies in accordance with EN 1401-1 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 1 The quality management system is expected to conform to or is no less stringent than the relevant requirements to EN ISO 9001 [1]. NOTE 2 If third party certification is involved, the certification body is expected to be compliant with either EN ISO/IEC 17065 [2] or EN ISO/IEC 17021-series [3], as applicable. NOTE 3 In order to help the reader, a basic test matrix is given in Annex A. In conjunction with EN 1401-1, this document is applicable to piping systems made of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) intended for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage: - buried in ground outside the building structure (application area code "U"); - both buried in ground within the building structure and outside the building structure (application area code "UD").

 

This document gives guidance and requirements for the assessment of conformity of materials, products, joints and assemblies in accordance with the applicable part(s) of EN 13476 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of certification procedures. NOTE 1 A test matrix provides an overview of the testing scheme in Annex A, Table A.1. NOTE 2 If certification is involved, the certification body operating in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17065 [1] and EN ISO/IEC 17020 [2] is considered to be competent. In conjunction with FprEN 13476-1:2025, FprEN 13476-2:2025 and FprEN 13476-3:2025 this document is applicable to Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drains and sewers — Structural-wall piping systems of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). The application area code used in the marking of pipes and fittings indicates for which application area(s) the products are intended: U: for the area more than 1 m from the building to which the buried piping system is connected, and UD: for application area U and the area under and within 1 m from the building where the pipes and the fittings are buried in ground and are connected to the soil and waste discharge system of the building.

 

This standard specifies requirements for pipe and integral joints of higher level of impact resistant PVC-M for the conveyance of water and waste water under pressure. The pipes are intended for installation below and above ground where they are not exposed to direct sunlight. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods in this standard. It is applicable to extruded PVC-M pipes without a socket and pipes with a socket (integral or not), intended to be used for the following: It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water under pressure up to and including 25 °C (cold water) intended for human consumption and for general purposes as well as for waste water under pressure. This standard specifies pipes for the conveyance of water and waste water up to and including 45 °C. For temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C, Figure A.1 applies. This standard specifies a range of pipe sizes and pressure classes, and gives requirements concerning colours.

 

This document specifies the characteristics of corklinoleum, supplied in roll form. To encourage the consumer to make an informed choice, the standard includes a classification system based on intensity of use, which shows where resilient floor coverings should give satisfactory service (see EN 685). It also includes requirements for marking. The term 'linoleum' is frequently incorrectly applied to a range of floor coverings, often to those based on polyvinyl chloride or rubber. Such materials are excluded from this document.

 

ISO 15494:2015 specifies the characteristics and requirements for components such as pipes, fittings, and valves made from one of the following materials intended to be used for thermoplastics piping systems in the field of industrial applications above and below ground: - polybutene (PB); - polyethylene (PE); - polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT); - crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X); - polypropylene (PP). NOTE 1 Requirements for industrial valves are given in this International Standard and/or in other standards. Valves are to be used with components conforming to this International Standard provided that they conform additionally to the relevant requirements of this International Standard. This International Standard is applicable to either PB, PE, PE-RT, PE-X, or PP pipes, fittings, valves, and their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastic materials, depending on their suitability, intended to be used for the conveyance of liquid and gaseous fluids as well as solid matter in fluids for industrial applications such as the following: - chemical plants; - industrial sewerage engineering; - power engineering (cooling and general purpose water); - mining; - electroplating and pickling plants; - semiconductor industry; - agricultural production plants; - fire fighting; - water treatment; - geothermal. NOTE 2 Where relevant, national regulations (e.g. water treatment) are applicable. Other application areas are permitted if the requirements of this International Standard and/or applicable national requirements are fulfilled. National regulations in respect of fire behaviour and explosion risk are applicable. The components have to withstand the mechanical, thermal, and chemical demands to be expected and have to be resistant to the fluids to be conveyed.
