What is PD CEN/TS 17176-7 about?
PD CEN/TS 17176-7 is the seventh part of a multi-series of standards which gives requirements and guidance for the assessment of conformity of compounds/formulations, products, joints and assemblies in accordance with the applicable parts of EN 17176 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of certification procedures.
PD CEN/TS 17176-7 is applicable to oriented unplasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) plastics piping systems for water supply and for buried and above-ground drainage, sewerage and irrigation under pressure.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17176-7 for?
PD CEN/TS 17176-7 on plastics piping systems is useful for:
- Manufacturers of plastics pipes
- Manufacturers of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17176-7?
PD CEN/TS 17176-7 provides general requirements on materials, products, joints and assemblies of plastic pipes under a quality management system that includes a quality plan, testing and inspection of sizes and types of fittings of pipes.
With PD CEN/TS 17176-7, you will learn about the types of tests that must be performed whenever there is a change in pipe designs, compound/formulation, and/or production method, such as type testing (TT), batch release test (BRT), process verification test (PVT), and audit test (AT) and Indirect tests (ITs) as well as the frequency and sampling of testing.
Altogether, with the test methods provided in PD CEN/TS 17176-7 you can produce plastics pipes for water supply and for drainage, sewerage and irrigation to ensure the assessment of conformity of compounds/formulations, pipes, fittings, joints or assemblies by manufacturers, including a certification.
