This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the opacity of plastics pipes and
fittings.
Annex A gives guidance on the light transmission of opaque pipes and fittings.
NOTE It is necessary for a pipe or fitting used for water supply which is exposed to visible light during service to be
sufficiently opaque to prevent algae growth.
