Characteristics for fitness for purpose are covered in EN 1555-5. PrCEN/TS
1555-7[2]gives guidance for assessment of conformity. Recommended practice for installation is given in EN 12007-2[1]prepared by CEN/TC 234.This part of EN 1555 covers the characteristics of valves.SIST EN 1555-4:2003



EN 1555-4:2002 (E)51 ScopeThis part of EN 1555 specifies the characteristics of valves made from polyethylene (PE) for piping systems in thefield of the supply of gaseous fuels.NOTEValves made from other material than polyethylene designed for the supply of gaseous fuels conforming to the relevant standardsare permitted to be used in PE piping system according to EN 1555 provided they have relevant PE connection for butt fusion or electrofusionends (see EN 1555-3).It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.In conjunction with the other parts of EN 1555, it is applicable to PE valves, their joints and to joints withcomponents of PE and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions:a)
a maximum operating pressure, MOP, up to and including 10 bar 1) ;b)
an operating temperature of 20 °C as reference temperature;NOTE 1
For other operating temperatures, derating coefficients should be used, see EN 1555-5.c)
an operating temperature between -20 °C and +40 °C.EN 1555 covers a range of maximum operating pressures and gives requirements concerning colours andadditives.NOTE 2
It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account theirparticular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.It is applicable to bi-directional valves with spigot end or electrofusion socket intended to be fused with PE pipesconforming to EN 1555-2 without any fittings or with PE fittings conforming to EN 1555-3.This part of EN 1555 covers valves with a nominal size DN/OD £ 225.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
