This document gives guidance and requirements for the assessment of conformity of compounds, products, joints and assemblies in accordance with the applicable part(s) of EN 12201 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of certification procedures.
NOTE 1 A test matrix provides an overview of the testing scheme in Annex C, Table C.1.
NOTE 2 If certification is involved, the certification body operating in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17065 [6] and EN ISO/IEC 17020 [4] is considered to be competent.
In conjunction with EN 12201-1, EN 12201-2, EN 12201-3, EN 12201-4 and EN 12201-5, this document is applicable to polyethylene (PE) pressure piping systems (mains and service pipes) for buried or above ground applications, intended for the conveyance of water for human consumption, raw water prior to treatment, drains and sewers under pressure, vacuum sewer systems, and water for other purposes, with the exception of industrial application. The intended use includes sea outfalls, laid in water and pipes suspended below bridges. It is applicable to PE pipes, fittings, and valves, their joints and joints with components of PE and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions:
a) allowable operating pressure, PFA, up to 25 bar );
b) an operating temperature of 20 °C as a reference temperature.
NOTE 3 Industrial application is covered by EN ISO 15494 [3].
NOTE 4 For applications operating at constant temperature greater than 20 °C and up to and including 50 °C, see EN 12201-1:2024, Annex A.
NOTE 53 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 guidance or regulations and installation practices or codes.
This document gives recommendations that the quality management system conforms to or is no less stringent than the relevant requirements to EN ISO 9001 [2].

Introduction
This document details the applicable characteristics to be assessed for type testing (TT), batch release
test (BRT), process verification test (PVT), and audit test (AT), as well as the frequency and sampling for
testing.
The concept of testing and organisation of those tests used for the AoC is shown, without or with
certification, in Figures 1 and 2.
