FOREWORD

Tl~is Imdiim Stondard was adopted by the Bureau ot lndian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Plastic
Pipin: Systems Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

This standard specifies the requirements for pipes manufactured from Polypropylene-Random Copolymer (PPR),
intended to be used for conveyance of hot and cold water piping system for inside and outside buildings and solar
~vater heating piping systems.

In the formulation of this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from 1S0 15874-1 :2003 Plastic
piping system for hot and cold water installation Polypropylene Part 1: General and 1S0 15874-2:
?003 Plastic piping system for hot and cold water installation Polypropylene (PP) Part 2: Pipes. The sizes
of pipes, however, have been kept as per rnanufacluring practices being followed in India and have been derived
from DIN 8077 ; 1999 07 Polypropylene (PP) pipes. Allowable maximum operating pressures for pipes at
difftmm[ temperatures have also been derived from DIN 8077 : 1999 - 07 by considering 25 years of service.

FtJt- the purpose of deciding whether a ptirticular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
Y3]11c, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS ? : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (mi,scd). The number of significant places retained in the
roL(nded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

CRITERIA FOR CONFORMITY
10.1 Type Tests
10.1.1 Type tests arc intended to prove (be suitability
an(i pertormdnce of a new composition, a ncw
technique or a new size of a pipe. SLIC1ltests, therefore,
need be applied only when a change is made in polymer
composition c)r meLhoci of lmanufacture, or when a new
size of pi]pe is to be introduced. Even if no change is
envisaged, type test shall be done at least once in two
years on each pressure rating and grade of pipe of the
hi~hcst size ]ll:l[lLlf~CtLIICd during the period.
IS 15801:2008
10.1.2 Three samples of the same size, same pressure
rating and same grade selected at random shall be tested
for compliance with the requirements of the test.
10.1.3 If all the samples pass the requirements of the
type test, the type of the pipe under consideration shall
be considered eligible for type approval.
10.1.4 tn case if any of the samples fails in the test, the
testing authority, at its discretion, may ca]l for fresh
samples not exceeding the original number and subject
them to the type test again. [f in repeat test, no single
hilure occurs, the type of pipe under consideration
shall be considered eligible for type approval. If any
of the samples fails in the repeat tests, the type of pipe
shall not be approved. The manufacturer maybe asked
to resubmit the product for type approval.
10.1.5 At the end of validity period (normally two
years) or earlier as may be necessary, the testing
authority may call for fresh samples for type test for
the purpose of type approval.
10.1.6 The records of the type tests shall be made
available during external inspection of lots for the
acceptance tests.
10.2 Acceptance Tests
10.2.1 Acceptance tests are carried out on samples
sclcctcd from a lot for the purpose of acceptance of
the lot.
10.2.2 Lot
AII pipes of the szme size, same pressure rating and

similar cond~tions of manufacturer, shall constitute a
lot. For ascertaining conformity of the lot to the
requirements of this specification, samples shall be
selected in accordance with the provisions as
mentioned under 10.2.3 and 10.2.4 and tested for
compliance.
10.2.3 Dimensional and Visual Requirements
10.2.3.1 The number of test samples shall be in

10.2.3.3 The number of pipes given for the first sample

and visual recluirements given in 7 and 8. A pipe failing
to satisfy any of these requirements shall be considered
