ÖNORM EN 1519-1

This European Standard specifies the requirements for pipes, fittings and the system of polyethylene (PE) solid-wall piping systems in the field of soil and waste discharge inside buildings (marked with "B") and for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (marked with "BD"). It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard. This standard is applicable to PE pipes and fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for the following purposes: a) soil and waste discharge pipework for the conveyance of domestic waste waters (low and high temperature), b) ventilation pipework associated with a), c) rainwater pipework within the building structure. It applies to pipes and fittings, marked with "B", which are intended to be used inside buildings and outside buildings fixed onto the wall. It applies to pipes and fittings, marked with "BD", which are intended to be used for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure. This standard is applicable to PE pipes and fittings of the following types: plain-ended, with integral elastomeric ring seal socket, for butt fusion joints, for electrofusion joints and for mechanical joints, whereby the fittings can be manufactured by injection-moulding or can be fabricated from pipes and/or mouldings. This standard covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipe series and gives recommendations concerning colours.
