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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 4427-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 138, Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the
transport of fluids, Subcommittee SC 2, Plastics pipes and fittings for water supplies.
This first edition, together with ISO 4427-1, cancels and replaces ISO 4427:1996, of which it constitutes a
technical revision.
ISO 4427 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics piping systems — Polyethylene (PE)
pipes and fittings for water supply:

Introduction
ISO 4427, the system standard, specifies the requirements for a piping system and its components when
made from polyethylene (PE). The piping system is intended to be used for water supply intended for human
consumption, including the conveyance of raw water prior to treatment and that of water for general purposes.
In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption caused by the
products covered by ISO 4427:
a) ISO 4427 provides no information as to whether the products may be used without restriction;
b) existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of these products are in force.
NOTE Guidance for assessment of conformity can be found in Bibliographical references [5] and [6].

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4427-2:2007(E)
Plastics piping systems — Polyethylene (PE) pipes and fittings
for water supply —
Part 2:
Pipes
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4427 specifies the pipes made from polyethylene (PE) intended for the conveyance of water
for human consumption, including raw water prior to treatment and water for general purposes.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods to which it refers.
In conjunction with the other parts of ISO 4427, it is applicable to PE pipes, their joints, to joints with
components of PE and to mechanical joints with components of other materials, intended to be used under
the following conditions:
1)
a) a maximum operating pressure (MOP) up to and including 25 bar ;
b) an operating temperature of 20 °C as the reference temperature.
NOTE 1 For applications operating at constant temperatures greater than 20 °C and up to 40 °C, see ISO 4427-1:2007,
Annex A.
NOTE 2 ISO 4427 covers a range of maximum operating pressures and gives requirements concerning colours and
additives. 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.
Three types of pipe are specified:
⎯ PE pipes (outside diameter d ), including any identification stripes;
n
⎯ PE pipes with co-extruded layers on either or both the outside and/or inside of the pipe (total outside
diameter d ), as specified in Annex A, where all layers have the same MRS rating.
n
⎯ PE pipes (outside diameter d ) having a peelable, contiguous, thermoplastics additional layer on the
n
outside of the pipe (“coated pipe”), see Annex A.
5 2
1) 1 bar = 0,1 MPa = 10 Pa; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm .

4 Material
4.1 Compound
The material from which the pipes are made shall be in accordance with ISO 4427-1.
4.2 Identification compound
Where applicable, the compound used for identification stripes and co-extruded layers (see 5.2) shall be
manufactured from a PE polymer manufactured from the same type of base polymer as used in the compound
for pipe production.
For co-extruded layers used for identification purposes, Annex A applies.
5 General characteristics
5.1 Appearance
When viewed without magnification, the internal and external surfaces of pipes shall be smooth, clean and
free from scoring, cavities and other surface defects such as would prevent conformity of the pipe to this part
of ISO 4427. The pipe ends shall be cut cleanly and square to the axis of the pipe.
5.2 Colour
The pipes shall be either blue or black, or black with blue stripes. For coated pipes in accordance with
Annex A, this applies to the coating.
Blue pipes or black pipes with blue stripes are intended for drinking water only.
For above-ground installations, all blue components and components with non-black layers should be
protected from direct UV light.
5.3 Effect on water quality
Attention is drawn to the requirements of national regulations (see also the Introduction). See
ISO 4427-1:2007, Clause 5.
6 Geometrical characteristics
6.1 Measurements
The dimensions of the pipe shall be measured in accordance with ISO 3126. In case of dispute, the
measurements of dimensions shall be made not less than 24 h after manufacture and after conditioning for at
least 4 h at (23 ± 2) °C.
6.2 Mean outside diameter and out-of-roundness (ovality)
The mean outside diameters, d , and the out-of-roundness (ovality) shall be in accordance with Table 1.
