Introduction

Figures 1 and 2 are intended to provide general information on the concept of testing and organisation of

those tests used for the purpose of the assessment of conformity. For each type of test, i.e. type testing (TT),

batch release test (BRT), process verification test (PVT), and audit test (AT), this document details the

applicable characteristics to be assessed as well as the frequency and sampling of testing.

A typical scheme for the assessment of conformity of materials, pipes, fittings, joints or assemblies by

manufacturers is given in Figure 1.
