ÖNORM EN 1519-1

This document specifies the requirements for solid-wall polyethylene (PE) pipes with smooth internal and external surfaces extruded from the same compound/formulation throughout the wall, fittings and the system for: — soil and waste discharge applications (low and high temperature) inside buildings (application area code “B”); — soil and waste discharge applications (low and high temperature) for both inside buildings and buried in the ground within the building structure (application area code “BD”). This document is also applicable to PE pipes and fittings and the system intended for the following purposes: — ventilating part of the pipework in association with discharge applications; — rainwater pipework within the building structure. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard. This document covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipes and fittings series and gives recommendations concerning colours. 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 the 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; — for mechanical joints where the fittings can be manufactured by injection-moulding or can be fabricated from pipes and/or mouldings.
