Instead of de-rating the pressure, a shorter lifetime may be declared. 4.6.2 Durability of elastomeric sealing joints The tightness of elastomeric sealing joints is deemed to be durable if the sealing element conforms to
EN 681-1, EN 681-2 or EN 681-4, as applicable. 4.7 Dangerous substances Attention is drawn to NOTE 1 and NOTE 2 in ZA.1.
EN 15014:2007 (E) 9 NOTE Mandate M/366 “Development of horizontal standardised assessment methods for harmonised approach relating to dangerous substances under the Construction Products Directive (CPD)“ as issued by the European Commission, will require specifications relating to dangerous substances once applicable to the covered products. 5 Test methods 5.1 Reaction to fire for applications inside building Classification shall be in accordance with EN 13501-1. Mounting and fixing of pipes shall conform to Annex A in EN 15012:2007. If no pipes are available, testing of fittings may be done in form of a linear assembly, e.g. couplers.

For joints for thermosetting pipes, tests referenced in EN 1796 or EN 14364 shall be applied, depending on the type of joint. For joints for multilayer pipes, tests referenced in ISO 21004 shall be applied, depending on the type of joint. NOTE The test parameters are set by the product standards making reference to these test standards. Fused, cemented and adhesive joints are deemed to be leaktight when assembled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Such instructions shall be made available by the manufacturer. 5.6 Durability Piping components conforming with the requirements of this document and with a declared nominal pressure, which is determined according to 5.2 of this European Standard, shall be deemed to be durable for a reasonable economic working life. 6 Evaluation of conformity 6.1 General The conformity of pipes and fittings with the requirements of this European 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 may be in more than one family for different characteristics. For type testing the following family groups apply: a) Size groups for pipes and fittings as given in Table 1.

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 B. For tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of the standards listed in Annex A, 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 4.6.2 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 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.

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.
