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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:
— an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
— an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
ISO/TS 21003-7 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 155, Plastics piping systems and ducting systems, in collaboration with 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.
This Technical Specification can be used to support elaboration of national third-party certification procedures
for products conforming to the applicable part(s) of ISO 21003.
It forms part of a system standard for multilayer piping systems of a particular material for a specified
application. System standards are supported by separate standards on test methods to which reference is
made throughout the system standard. The system standards are consistent with general standards on
functional requirements and on recommended practice for installation.
ISO 21003 consists of the following parts, under the general title Multilayer piping systems for hot and cold
water installations inside buildings:
⎯ Part 1: General
⎯ Part 2: Pipes
⎯ Part 3: Fittings
⎯ Part 5: Fitness for purpose of the system
⎯ Part 7: Guidance for the assessment of conformity [Technical Specification]

Introduction
ISO 21003 specifies the requirements for multilayer piping systems. The piping system is intended to be used
for hot and cold water installations inside buildings.
In respect of potentially adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused by
the products covered by ISO 21003:
⎯ no information is provided 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 these products remain in force.
Requirements and test methods for material and components are specified in ISO 21003-2 and ISO 21003-3.
Characteristics relating to fitness for purpose (mainly for joints) are covered in ISO 21003-5.
This Technical Specification gives guidance for the assessment of conformity of materials, components, joints
and assemblies and it is intended to be used by certification bodies, inspection bodies, testing laboratories
and manufacturers.

included in the manufacturer's quality plan as part of the quality system.
It includes:
⎯ requirements for materials, components, joints and assemblies given in the applicable part(s) of
ISO 21003;
[2]
⎯ requirements for the manufacturer's quality system (e.g. ISO 9001 );
⎯ definitions and procedures to be used if third-party certification is involved.

4.2.2 Type testing (TT)
4.2.2.1 General
Relevant type tests shall be carried out whenever there is a change in design, in material and/or in the
production method, other than routine in-process adjustments, and/or whenever there is an extension of the
product range.
Type tests shall demonstrate that the products conform to all requirements for the characteristics given in
Table 5 to Table 8, as applicable. The material characteristics of stress-designed materials shall be evaluated
in accordance with the reference product standard.
Conditions considered as leading to a change of material are given in Table 4.

For the purposes of defining a change of construction type (M4), the following characteristics are relevant:
⎯ dimensions;
⎯ geometry of the component;
⎯ jointing system.
In the manufacturer's quality plan, the geometry, the dimensions and the dimensional tolerances shall be
specified at least in accordance with and in addition to the requirements given in the relevant part(s) of
ISO 21003.
If one or more of these characteristics exceeds the defined specifications, the relevant characteristics given in
Table 5 to Table 8, as applicable, shall be retested. If third-party certification is involved, retesting shall be
agreed between the certification body and the manufacturer.
