scope:

This part of the standard specifies requirements and test methods for full-end-load-resistant mechanical pipe-jointing systems for connecting, to each other or to a metal pipe or fitting, polyethyle (PE) pipes, conforming to ISO 4437, of nominal outside diameter greater than 63 mm. In addition, it specifies certain general properties of the material from which these fittings are made. This part of the standard specifies dimensional requirements for, and the performance of, such assemblies. This part of the standard is applicable only to mechanical fittings with normal operating-temperature limits between -20°C and 40°C, unless otherwise agreed between interested parties.
