It is the UK implementation of EN 15014:2007. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee PRI/88, Plastics piping systems, to Subcommittee PRI/88/2, Plastic piping for pressure applications. This British Standard is intended as a means of demonstrating compliance with the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC), and affixing the CE mark. The Essential Requirements contained in this British Standard are concepts related to the Construction Products Directive and they are not necessarily indicative of all the performance requirements or suitability for the service conditions likely to be encountered in a particular pipework application. The CE mark indicates only that a product may legally be placed on the market in the EU. It does not indicate or guarantee inherent quality of the CE marked pipework components. It should be noted that manufacturers are entitled to declare “No Performance Determined” against some or all of these Essential Requirements and yet still affix the CE mark to their products. Users are advised to check the background details with the manufacturers claims for the CE marked products. Such details may be available on an appropriate Internet website or accompanying Company documentation. Compliance with this British Standard does not necessarily mean that products bearing the CE mark are fit for a particular intended purpose. This Standard does not replace the corresponding BS EN Product Standards (see national annex NA) which do contain detailed performance requirements for pipes, fittings and joints manufactured from particular plastics materials.

The legislation setting out these requirements for water supply installations in the UK is: for installations for public water supplies: the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000, Regulation 31 (England), the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2001, Regulation 31 (Wales), the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2001, Regulation 27 (Scotland); and the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2007, Regulation 30 (Northern Ireland); and for installations for consumers premises: the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 (England and Wales), the Water Byelaws 2000 (Scotland) and the current requirements for Northern Ireland A list of product standards used in conjunction with this standard is included in a national annex NA. A list of organizations represented on PRI/88/2 can be obtained on request to its secretary. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

It does not cover all characteristics of the products. These are specified in the standards listed in Annex A or in other appropriate product specifications. This harmonised European Standard is part of a family of cluster standards addressing plastics piping systems. The relationship is shown below. Material independent Specific solutions For the harmonisation of pressure plastics piping systems (this European Standard) the following applies: For pipes and fittings For valves Figure 1 BS EN 15014:2007 Copyright British Standards Institution Provided by IHS under license with BSI - Uncontrolled Copy Licensee=Boeing Co/5910770001 Not for Resale, 08/14/2008 20:53:40 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- EN 15014:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies performance requirements for plastics pipes, fittings and their joints for buried or above-ground pressure applications for water for general purposes, drainage, sewerage and irrigation, as well as for any other pressure application with other fluids covered by the Construction Products Directive with the exception of drinking water distribution for human consumption. It gives associated test methods for verification and evaluation of conformity with this European Standard. NOTE Compliance of pipes, fittings and their joints with this document does not confer a presumption of fitness of the product for the transport of water intended for human consumption within the meaning of the Directive 89/106/EEC. However, until the operation of the envisaged European Acceptance Scheme for construction products in contact with water intended for human consumption and the revision of this standard, products conforming to this standard could be used for the transport of water intended for human consumption if they conform to the relevant national, regional or local regulatory provisions or recommendations applicable in the place of use. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
