1 Bends
2 Elbows, tees
3 Other fittings (reducers, double sockets, end caps,

6.2 Type tests (TTs)
Relevant type tests shall be carried out whenever there is a change in design, in compound/formulation and/or
in the production method, other than routine in-process adjustments, and/or whenever there is an extension of
the product range or change of production site.
NOTE Testing to be performed in case of change of production site depends on the complexity of the changes and
therefore should be defined by the manufacturer case by case.
Type tests shall demonstrate that products conform to all requirements for the characteristics given in Table 5
to Table 7, as applicable.
The dosage level of ingredients of a compound/formulation shall not exceed the tolerance bands given in
Table 3. If any level exceeds the dosage band or if a type is changed, this variation constitutes a change in
compound/formulation.
The values of the parts X added to 100 parts by mass of PVC shall be specified by the manufacturer in his
quality plan.

If any level exceeds the dosage band or if a type of ingredient is changed, this variation constitutes a change
in compound/formulation and the relevant characteristics given in Table 5 to Table 7, column M, as applicable,
shall be retested. A change in the supplier of an ingredient or within a type of stabilizer does not necessarily
constitute a change in formulation. A change in the chemical nature of the stabilizer, e.g. from Pb to Sn, shall
constitute a change in compound/formulation (see EN ISO 1452-1:2009, 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 as applicable).
For the purpose of defining a change in design, the following aspects are relevant:
a) functional dimensions;
b) geometry of the functional parts of the product;
c) joint affected parts.
If one or more of these characteristics exceed the defined specifications, the relevant characteristics given in
Table 4 to Table 7, column D, as applicable, shall be retested. If third party certification is involved, retesting
shall be agreed between the certification body and the manufacturer.
For the extension of the production range, the relevant characteristics given in Table 5 to Table 7, column E,
as applicable, shall be retested. If third party certification is involved, retesting shall be agreed between the
certification body and the manufacturer.
Table 4 is applicable if the compound/formulation is produced by the raw material manufacturer and not by the
pipe, fitting or valve manufacturer.
