scope:

This Part of ISO 1452 specifies the characteristics of solid-wall pipes made from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) for piping systems intended for water supply and for buried and above ground drainage and sewerage under pressure.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.
In conjunction with Parts 1 and 5 of ISO 1452, it is applicable to extruded PVC-U pipes without a socket and pipes with a socket (integral or not), intended to be used for the following:
a) water mains and services buried in ground;
b) conveyance of water above ground for both outside and inside buildings;
c) buried and above ground drainage and sewerage under pressure.
It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water under pressure up to and including 25 °C (cold water) intended for human consumption and for general purposes as well as for waste water under pressure.
This standard is also applicable to pipes for the conveyance of water and waste water up to and including 45 °C. For temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C Figure A.1 in Annex A applies.
NOTE 1 The possibilities of use for temperatures above 45° C should be defined between the producer and end-user case by case.
This standard covers a range of pipe sizes and pressure classes and gives requirements concerning colours.
NOTE 2 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.
