The document specifies, dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for expansion groups, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 25, having working pressures ) from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar).
Expansion groups shall be fitted to the cold potable water supply only for expansion purposes, e.g. of storage water heaters, having a maximum distribution temperature of 95 °C.
Expansion groups limit pressure in the water heater to which they are fitted, that is produced by thermal expansion of the water, prevent the backflow of water into the supply pipe and prevent the discharged water to get into contact with the water in the water heater.
Expansion groups do not control temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage water heaters.
NOTE   The use of the device specified in this Standard does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and thermal cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters.

This document specifies index test methods for determining the compressive creep properties of
geosynthetic products. The test specimens are subjected either to normal compressive loading or to a
combination of normal compressive loading and shear loading.
The test method with a normal load only (see Clause 5) is the standard method.
The test method in which combined normal and shear loads are applied (see Clause 6) is intended for
products that are sensitive to shear failure, i.e. which have a columnar or cuspated structure.
The tests are carried out on dry specimens or on specimens immersed in water. The test is intended
to be carried out with the specimen immersed in water when any part of the geosynthetic product
contains a hydrophilic polymer.
