Frequently Asked Questions
ICS 23.040.20 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Plastics pipes". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 2305 standards classified under ICS 23.040.20 (Plastics pipes). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This document specifies requirements for pipe and integral joints of higher level of impact resistant PVC-M for the conveyance of water and waste water under pressure. The pipes are intended for installation below and above ground where they are not exposed to direct sunlight. This document also specifies the test parameters for the test methods in this document. This document is applicable to extruded PVC-M pipes without a socket and pipes with a socket (integral or not), intended to be used for the following purposes: water mains and services buried in the ground; conveyance of water above ground for both outside and inside buildings; buried and above-ground drainage and sewerage under pressure. This document 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 document specifies 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 applies.
