6 Evaluation of conformity
6.1 General
The compliance of pipes and fittings to 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.
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the product.
6.2 Initial type testing – Type testing
6.2.1 General
Initial Type Testing and Type Testing shall be performed to demonstrate compliance with this European
standard.
All essential characteristics for which the manufacturer declares performances, are subject to Initial Type
Testing. In addition, the need to perform Type Tests applies to all other characteristics included in a standard
when the manufacturer claims compliance with, unless the standard gives provisions (e.g. use of previously
existing data, CWFT and conventionally accepted performance) for declaring performances without
performing tests.
For the purposes of testing, the manufacturer's products 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 that
same characteristic for all products within that same family.
NOTE Products may be in different families for different characteristics.
For type testing the following family groups apply:
a) Size groups for pipes and fittings as given in Table 1.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 15012:2011
prEN 15012:2011 (E)
3 Branches
4 Other fittings
In addition, Type Tests or Initial Type Testing shall be performed for all characteristics included in the
standard for which the manufacturer declares performances:
at the beginning of the production of a new pipe or fitting design, raw material or supplier of the
components;
at the beginning of a new method of production (whenever this may affect the stated properties); or
they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the pipe and fitting
design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the production process (subject to the
definition of a family), which would affect significantly this (those) characteristic(s).
This is not applicable for 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 B.
Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, respectively standards as listed
in Annex A, may be taken into account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test
method, under the same system of attestation of conformity on the same product or products of similar design,
construction and functionality, such that the results are applicable to the product in question.
Products marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to
have the performances stated with that marking, although this does not replace the responsibility on the
plastic pipe and fitting designer to ensure that the plastic piping system as a whole is correctly designed and
its components have the necessary performance values to meet the design.
6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria
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 B. If the standard does not contain one or more of the characteristics, then
testing as given in Table 3 shall apply.
For products where no such standard exists Table 3 shall apply.
