Overview

EN 14680:2015 (CEN) specifies requirements and test methods for adhesives used to join non‑pressure thermoplastic piping systems - primarily for soil and waste discharge applications. It covers adhesives for unplasticised PVC (PVC‑U), chlorinated PVC (PVC‑C), ABS and styrene copolymer blends (PVC+SAN), independent of the application area. The standard defines product characteristics, testing, factory production control and provisions related to CE marking and the Construction Products Regulation.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Adhesives for non‑pressure thermoplastic piping systems (e.g., internal soil and waste discharge).
• Materials covered: PVC‑U, PVC‑C, ABS, PVC+SAN.
• Mechanical performance: Resistance to pull‑out is assessed as shear strength using EN ISO 9311‑2. Example performance levels increase with setting time (typical values in the standard include 0.25 MPa for PVC‑U/PVC‑C after 1 h, 0.10 MPa for ABS after 1 h, 1.5 MPa after 24 h and 3.0 MPa after 480 h).
• Tightness & temperature resistance: Evaluated by elevated temperature cycling (EN 1055 application “B”); test assemblies require multiple joints and must show no leakage.
• Setting time & sample conditioning: Standardised conditions (23 ± 2 °C, 50 ± 5% RH) with defined setting times (1 h, 24 h, 480 h) for test pieces.
• Shelf life: Manufacturers must declare minimum shelf life for unopened containers; shelf‑life testing procedures are specified.
• Release of dangerous substances: Declaration or verification may be required per national rules; Annex ZA aligns requirements with EU CPR (Regulation 305/2011).
• Durability, AVCP and FPC: Type testing, batch release tests, and Factory Production Control (FPC) requirements are included to support assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) and CE marking.

Applications

• Compliance guidance for adhesives used in soil and waste discharge piping, non‑pressure drainage, and other non‑pressure thermoplastic installations inside buildings and underground drainage systems.
• Useful when specifying adhesives for manufacturing, installation and conformity assessment of thermoplastic piping systems where leakage and long‑term performance are critical.

Who uses this standard

• Adhesive manufacturers and formulators
• Pipe and fitting manufacturers and system designers
• Test laboratories and certification bodies
• Specifiers, installers and building product authorities ensuring compliance with CE marking and national dangerous‑substance regulations
