ISO 22391-1:2007 Plastics piping systems for hot and cold water installations - Polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT) - Part 1: General
This part of ISO 22391 specifies the general aspects of piping systems made of polyethylene of raised
temperature resistance (PE-RT), intended to be used for hot and cold water installations within buildings for
the conveyance of water — whether or not the water is intended for human consumption (domestic systems)
or heating systems — under specified design pressures and temperatures according to the class of
application.
It covers a range of service conditions (classes of application), design pressures and pipe dimension classes,
and also specifies test parameters and defines terms, symbols and abbreviated terms. When used in
conjunction with the other parts of ISO 22391, it is respectively applicable to PE-RT pipes, fittings, their joints,
and to joints having components of PE-RT as well as of other plastics and non-plastics materials, used for hot
and cold water installations.
It is not applicable for values of design temperature, maximum design temperature or malfunction temperature
in excess of those it specifies.
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.
