Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso

ISO 15835-3:2018(E)
3.1
splice system
mechanical splice using a specific technology and made by the same manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: A splice system may include several splice types (3.2).
3.2
splice type

mechanical splices from the same splice system (3.1), of the same generic design, designed for the same

purpose and existing in different sizes suitable for specific bar diameters
4 Evaluation of conformity

Evaluation of the compliance of the products to the requirements of ISO 15835-1 may be done by one of

the following methods.

— Product certification, described in Clause 5, is made by a certification body who inspects the

manufacturing facility and collects test samples at regular periods.

— Verification of lots, described in Clause 6, is made by agreement between the supplier and the

purchaser, and involves only testing of the exact lot that is going to be delivered to the purchaser.

5 System for certification
5.1 General

The purpose of this clause is to provide rules for the product certification of couplers in accordance

with ISO/IEC 17065.

The certification is based on qualification testing and surveillance by the certification body, and

on factory production control by the manufacturer. Qualification and surveillance audits shall be

performed by the certification body at each manufacturing location listed in the certificate.
