What is PD CEN/TS 1519-2 about?
The PD CEN/TS 1519 series discusses polyethylene (PE) piping systems for soil and waste discharge within the building structure. PD CEN/TS 1519 gives requirements and guidance for the assessment of conformity of materials, products, joints and assemblies in accordance with EN 1519 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.
In conjunction with EN 1519-1, PD CEN/TS 1519-2 is applicable to piping systems made of PE intended to be used:
- For soil and waste discharge systems (low and high temperature) inside buildings (application area code “B”)
- For soil and waste discharge systems (low and high temperature) for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (application area code “BD”)
Who is PD CEN/TS 1519-2 for?
PD CEN/TS 1519-2 on guidance for the assessment of conformity for PE piping systems for soil and waste discharge is useful for:
- Inspection/certification authorities
- Manufacturers of PE products and components
- Real estate developers
- Plumbers
- Estate managers
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 1519-2?
Piping systems meant for the discharge of soil and waste are part of sanitation systems. Aspects such as smells, clogging, and waste discharge efficiency reflect on the quality of the infrastructure. Piping systems need to be assembled in a manner that prevents leakage and prolongs the life of the system and its components.
If you are a certification/inspection authority, PD CEN/TS 1519-2 helps you to evaluate the installations and the material specifications of the soil and water discharge system. If you are a manufacturer, PD CEN/TS 1519-2 helps you to integrate the specification guidelines for PE piping systems in your quality management system. PD CEN/TS 1519-2 also provides you with references to clauses or sub-clauses from EN 1519-1, test conditions and sampling procedures for testing a particular characteristic. PD CEN/TS 1519-2 helps you to assess that the soil and waste discharge piping system conforms to EN 1519-1 specifications.
