EN 15015:2007 (E) 8 5.2 Determination of the design pressure 5.2.1 Pipes where the design stress requirements are totally met by the base polymer The hydrostatic stress properties of the material shall be determined by testing in accordance with EN ISO 9080. Alternatively the hydrostatic stress properties may be determined by proving that the material conforms to the reference lines specified in the basic material standards. The test results from EN ISO 9080 or the reference lines from the basic material standards shall be used to calculate the design pressure by using an established method for calculating or determining the maximum allowable hoop stress applicable to pipes exposed to a range of internal pressures and/or temperatures during their expected lifetime with the service coefficients given in Annex A. One established method is described in EN ISO 13760 [1] taking into account an applicable class of service condition according to ISO 10508:2006 and service coefficients according to Annex A. Other national established methods may be used. NOTE
For advice see the basic material standards ISO 3213 [2] for PP, ISO 10146 [3] for PE-X, ISO 12230 [4] for PB,
ISO 24033 for PE-RT[5] and product standard EN ISO 15877-2 (see Annex B) for PVC-C. For material not covered by Annex A the manufacturer shall declare overall service coefficients with appropriate verification methods, e.g. by making reference to a European product specification [see 4.3 b)]. 5.2.2 Other pipe designs For multi-layer pipes the hydrostatic stress properties shall be determined according to ISO 17456. The result shall then be used as described in 5.2.1. The design pressure for designs where single dimensions are pressure rated at specific temperatures shall be calculated using the same procedure as in 5.2.1 but based on pressure instead of hydrostatic stress. 5.2.3 Internal pressure strength For checking the internal pressure strength testing shall be done in accordance with the appropriate parts of
EN ISO 1167 using hoop stresses relevant for the material, which were established when determining the design pressure PD in accordance with 5.2.1 or 5.2.2. 5.3 Dimensional tolerances The dimensions shall be measured in accordance with EN ISO 3126. 5.4 Tightness and durability The tightness of joints and the durability shall be tested in accordance with EN 12293 taking the design pressure PD and the declared classification of service conditions as in ISO 10508:2006, using parameters given in Table 1 or BS 7291-1:2006.

The tensile stress to calculate the pre-stress force is calculated using the following equation:
σt = α × ∆T × E
where σt is the tensile stress, expressed in megapascals ( MPa); α is the coefficient of thermal expansion, expressed per Kelvin (1/K); ∆T is the temperature difference, expressed in Kelvins (K); E is the modulus of elasticity, expressed in megapascals (MPa).
6 Evaluation of conformity 6.1 General The conformity of pipes and fittings with the requirements of this standard and with the declared values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:  initial type testing;  factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment. For the purposes of testing, pipes and fittings may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any product within the family are representative for the same characteristics for all products within that family. NOTE 1 A product can be in more than one family for different characteristics. For type testing the following family groups applies. a) Pressure groups for pipes and fittings as given in Table 2. Table 2 — Pressure groups Pressure group Design pressure, PD bar 1 ≤ 6 2 > 6
b) Size groups for pipes and fittings as given in Table 3. SIST EN 15015:2008



EN 15015:2007 (E) 10 Table 3 — Size groups
Size group Range of nominal diameters, dn 1 dn ≤ 63 2 63 < dn ≤ 160
c) Fitting groups for fittings as given in Table 4. Table 4 — Fitting groups Fitting group Fittings 1 Elbows and tees 2 Reducers, couplers, end caps 3 All fittings except those included in group 1 and group 2.
6.2 Initial type testing 6.2.1 General Relevant type tests shall be carried out on new products and whenever there is a change in design, in material and/or in production method, other than routine in-process adjustment and extension of the product range (see Table 3). A change of supplier of a material or stabiliser does not lead to a change in performance if the chemical composition remains the same. Material modifications within certain limits are not considered as a change of material. Guidance for these limits can be found in the standards given in Annex C. For tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of the standards listed in Annex B, or the recognized European specification, as applicable, (same product, same characteristic(s), same test method, same system of attestation etc.) the results may be taken into account. All characteristics given in Clause 4 shall be subject to calculation and/or initial type testing, except 4.5.3, where the characteristics of the components used have already been determined by the component manufacturer on the basis of conformity with other product standards. However this does not relieve the manufacturer of the piping system from the responsibility of ensuring that the system conforms to the requirements of this document. 6.2.2 Initial type test requirements The initial type testing of the characteristics according to Clause 4 shall be performed in accordance with the sampling procedure given under type tests (TT) of the applicable product specific standards for assessment of conformity as given in Annex C. If the standard does not contain one or the other of the characteristics, then testing as given in Table 5 shall apply. For products where no such standard exists Table 5 shall apply.

Test reports shall be kept by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after discontinuation of the product. 6.3 Factory production control 6.3.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market conform to the stated performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product. If the manufacturer has the component designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and labelled by subcontracting, FPC of the original manufacturer may be taken into account. However, where subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shall retain the overall control of the component and ensure that he receives all the information that is necessary to fulfil his responsibilities according to this European Standard. The manufacturer who subcontracts all of his activities may in no circumstances discharge himself of his responsibilities to a subcontractor. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures. This production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of the required component characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked. Factory production control therefore brings together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the conformity of the component with its technical specifications. Its implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on raw materials and constituents, processes, manufacturing equipment and finished components, including material properties in components, and by making use of the results thus obtained. SIST EN 15015:2008



EN 15015:2007 (E) 12 The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken. The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period specified in the manufacturers FPC procedures. The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, and the inspection scheme for ensuring their conformity shall be established. Manufacturers operating a quality system, which conforms to or is no less stringent than the relevant requirements of EN ISO 9001 and which is made specific to products covered by this European Standard is deemed to satisfy the FPC requirements of this European Standard. 6.3.2 FPC requirements Manufacturers shall operate a factory production control (FPC) system. FPC shall consist of tests to be carried out at regular intervals by the manufacturer to evaluate the conformity of the products with the requirements of this European Standard. The FPC of the characteristics according to Clause 4 shall be performed in accordance with the sampling procedure given under batch release tests (BRT) or process verification tests (PVT) of the applicable product specific standards for assessment of conformity as given in Annex C. If the standard does not contain one or the other of the characteristics, then testing as given in Table 6 shall apply. For products where no such standard exists Table 6 applies.
