Plastics pipes and fittings - Characteristics for utilisation of non-virgin PVC-U, PP and PE materials

This Technical Specification specifies definitions and recommended characteristics and test methods for the utilisation of PVC-U, PP and PE non-virgin materials in pipes, fittings and ancillaries for both pressure and non-pressure piping systems. This Technical Specification specifies the conditions for utilisation of non-virgin material with and without agreed specification Non-virgin materials may be reformulated by the use of additives and processing techniques to meet an agreed specification. Typically the additives used would be stabilisers and pigments etc. The WG responsible for the product standard should consider the content of this document and only permit dosage levels which give compliance with the requirements of the product standard. Further, the WG should consider whether extra or more frequent product testing is relevant when using such material in the production of pipes and fittings in accordance with the relevant product standard. NOTE For the purpose of this specification the term pipes means extruded pipes, gutters and any parts of a fabricated fitting which is made from an extruded pipe. The term fitting means injection- and rotomoulded fittings and injection moulded parts of a fabricated fitting. For the recycling process, the testing and the use of the non-virgin material National and/or European regulations may apply.

Kunststoffrohrleitungen und Formstücke - Eigenschaften für die Verwendung von Rücklaufmaterial und Recyclat aus PVC-U-, PP- und PE-Materialien

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt Begriffe und empfohlene Eigenschaften und Prüfverfahren für die Verwendung von Umlauf-, Rücklaufmaterial und Rezyklat aus PVC U-, PP- und PE Materialien für Rohrleitungen, Formstücke und sonstige Bauteile sowohl für Druckrohrleitungssysteme als auch drucklose Rohrleitungssysteme fest.
Diese Technische Spezifikation legt die Bedingungen für die Verwendung von Umlauf-, Rücklaufmaterial und Rezyklat mit oder ohne eine vereinbarte Spezifikation fest.
Um eine vereinbarte Spezifikation zu erfüllen, können Rücklaufmaterialien und Rezyklat durch die Verwendung von Additiven und die Anwendung von Verarbeitungsverfahren in deren Zusammensetzung verändert werden. Üblicherweise werden Stabilisatoren, Pigmente usw. als Additive eingesetzt.
Die für die Produktnorm verantwortliche Arbeitsgruppe sollte den Inhalt des vorliegenden Dokuments unbedingt berücksichtigen und nur Einsatzmengen zulassen, die eine Übereinstimmung mit den Anforde-rungen der Produktnorm ergeben. Des Weiteren sollte die Arbeitsgruppe ernsthaft abwägen, ob zusätzliche oder häufiger stattfindende Produktprüfungen wichtig sind, wenn derartiges Material bei der Herstellung von Rohren und Formstücken nach der jeweiligen Produktnorm verwendet wird.
ANMERKUNG   Für die Anwendung dieser Spezifikation bezieht sich der Begriff Rohrleitungen auf extrudierte Rohr-leitungen, Abflussrinnen und alle Teile eines aus einem extrudierten Rohr gefertigten Formstückes. Der Begriff Formstück bezieht sich auf im Spritzguss- und Rotationsgussverfahren hergestellte Formstücke sowie im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellte Teile eines Formstückes.
Für den Recyclingprozess, die Prüfung und die Verwendung von Umlauf-, Rücklaufmaterial und Rezyklat können nationale und/oder europäische Vorschriften gelten.

Pour le recyclage, la soumission à essai et l’utilisation de matière non vierge, des réglementations Nationales et Européennes peuvent s’appliquer.

Polimerne cevi in fitingi - Lastnosti za uporabo obtočnega materiala, lastnega regenerata in regeneratov tujega izvora iz PVC-U, PP- in PE-materialov

Ta tehnična specifikacija določa definicije in priporočljive lastnosti in preskusne metode za uporabo obtočnega materiala tujega izvora iz PVC-U, PP- in PE-materialov za cevi, fitinge in pomožne dele za tlačne in netlačne cevne sisteme. Ta tehnična specifikacija določa pogoje za uporabo materialov tujega izvora z dogovorjeno specifikacijo in brez nje. Za skladnost z dogovorjeno specifikacijo so lahko materiali tujega izvora ponovno preoblikovani z uporabo dodatkov in obdelovalnih postopkov. Običajno so uporabljeni dodatki stabilizatorji, pigmenti itn. WG, ki je odgovoren za standard za izdelek, naj obravnava vsebino tega dokumenta in dovoli samo ravni doziranja, ki so skladne z zahtevami standarda za izdelek. Dodatno naj WG obravnava, ali so smotrna dodatna ali več pogostih preskušanj izdelka, ko je pri proizvodnji cevi in fitingov v skladu z zadevnim standardom za izdelek v uporabi omenjeni material. OPOMBA: Za namene te specifikacije izraz »cevi« označuje vlečene cevi, žlebove in druge dele fitinga, izdelanega iz vlečene cevi. Izraz »fiting« pomeni injekcijsko ali rotacijsko oblikovan fiting in injekcijsko oblikovane dele izdelanega fitinga. Za recikliranje, preskušanje in uporabo materiala tujega izvora veljajo nacionalni in/ali evropski predpisi.
