Plastics pipings systems for hot and cold water installations - Polybutene (PB) - Part 1: General (ISO 15876-1:2017)

This Part of EN ISO 15876 specifies the general aspects of polybutene-1 (PB-1) piping systems intended to be used for hot and cold water installations within buildings for the conveyance of water whether or not intended for human consumption (domestic systems) and for heating systems, under design pressures and temperatures according to the class of application (see Table 1).
For the sake of simplicity the designation polybutene is used together with the abbreviation PB throughout this document.
This standard covers a range of service conditions (application classes) and design pressure and pipe dimension classes. For values of TD, Tmax and Tmal in excess of those in Table 1, this standard does not apply.
NOTE 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 regulations and installation practices or codes.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard. ISO 15876 is a reference product standard. It is applicable to pipes, fittings, their joints, and also to joints with components made of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for hot and cold water installations. This part of ISO 15876 is intended for use only in conjunction with all the other parts of ISO 15876.

Es legt auch die Prüfparameter für die Prüfverfahren fest, auf die in diesem Dokument verwiesen wird.
Zusammen mit den übrigen Teilen von ISO 15876 gilt dieses Dokument für Rohre und Formstücke aus PB, deren Verbindungen untereinander sowie mit Rohrleitungsteilen aus anderen Kunststoffen oder aus Nichtkunststoffen (Metall), die für die Warm- und Kaltwasserinstallation vorgesehen sind.

Systèmes de canalisations en plastique pour les installations d'eau chaude et froide - Polybutène (PB) - Partie 1 : Généralités (ISO 15876-1:2017)

ISO 15876-1:2017 spécifie les aspects généraux des systèmes de canalisations en polybutène-1 (PB-1), conçus pour être utilisés dans des installations d'eau chaude et froide à l'intérieur des bâtiments, pour le transport de l'eau destinée ou non à la consommation humaine (systèmes domestiques), et dans des installations de chauffage, à des pressions et des températures de service correspondant à leur classe d'application (voir le Tableau 1).
La désignation polybutène est utilisée conjointement avec l'abréviation PB dans l'ensemble du présent document.
ISO 15876-1:2017 couvre une gamme de conditions de service (classes d'application) et de classes de pressions de service et de dimensions des tubes. Les valeurs TD, Tmax et Tmal dépassant celles du Tableau 1 ne s'appliquent pas.
NOTE          Il est de la responsabilité de l'acheteur ou du prescripteur de sélectionner convenablement ces aspects, en tenant compte des exigences particulières et des éventuelles règles nationales et pratiques ou codes de pose appropriés.
Il spécifie également les paramètres d'essai pour les méthodes d'essai auxquelles il est fait référence dans le présent document.
Avec les autres parties de l'ISO 15876, le présent document s'applique aux tubes et aux raccords en PB, à leurs assemblages et aux assemblages avec des composants fabriqués à partir d'autres matériaux, plastiques ou non plastiques, destinés à des installations d'eau chaude et froide.

Cevni sistemi iz polimernih materialov za napeljave z vročo in hladno vodo - Polibuten (PB) - 1. del: Splošno (ISO 15876-1:2017)

Ta del standarda EN ISO 15876 določa splošne vidike cevnih sistemov iz polibutena-1 (PB-1), ki se uporabljajo za napeljave z vročo in hladno vodo za prenos pitne in nepitne vode v stavbah (gospodinjski sistemi), ter za sisteme ogrevanja glede na predvidene tlake in temperature v skladu z razredom uporabe (glej preglednico 1).
Zaradi poenostavitve se poimenovanje polibuten v tem dokumentu uporablja skupaj s kratico PB.
Ta standard zajema različne pogoje uporabe (razrede uporabe) ter razrede predvidenih tlakov in dimenzij cevi. Ta standard se ne uporablja za vrednosti TD, Tmaks in Tmal, ki presegajo vrednosti iz preglednice 1.
OPOMBA: Za ustrezno izbiro teh vidikov je odgovoren kupec ali projektant, pri čemer mora upoštevati posebne zahteve ter vse pomembne nacionalne predpise in prakse ali kodekse vgradnje.
Določa tudi preskusne parametre za preskusne metode iz tega standarda. ISO 15876 je referenčni standard za izdelke. Uporablja se za cevi, fitinge, njihove spoje ter tudi za spoje s sestavnimi deli iz drugih polimernih in nepolimernih materialov, namenjene uporabi v napeljavah z vročo in hladno vodo. Ta del standarda ISO 15876 je namenjen uporabi skupaj z vsemi ostalimi deli standarda ISO 15876.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

ISO 15876-1 was prepared by the European Committee Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 155, Plastics piping systems and ducting systems, in collaboration with ISO 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, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO
and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15876-1:2003), which has been technically
revised with the following changes:
— introduction of polybutene random copolymer (PB-R) and renaming existing polybutene (PB) into
polybutene homopolymer (PB-H);
— revision of specifications for conditioning of samples.
It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 15876-1:2003/Amd 1:2007.

Introduction
The System Standard ISO 15876, of which this document is Part 1, specifies the requirements for a
piping system when made from polybutene (PB). The piping system is intended to be used for hot and
cold water installations.
In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused
by the product covered by ISO 15876 (all parts):
— ISO 15876 (all parts) provides no information as to whether the product may be used without
restriction in any of the Member States of the EU or EFTA;
— it should be noted that, while awaiting the adoption of verifiable European criteria, existing national
regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of this product remain in force.
Requirements and test methods for material and components of the piping systems are specified in
ISO 15876-2 and ISO 15876-3. Characteristics for fitness for purpose (mainly for joints) are covered in
ISO 15876-5. ISO/TS 15876-7 gives guidance for the assessment of conformity.
This document specifies the general aspects of the plastics piping system.
At the date of publication of this standard, System Standards for piping systems of other plastics
materials used for the same application include ISO 15874, ISO 15875, ISO 15876, ISO 15877, ISO 21003
and ISO 22391.
