international standard
- ISO 15874 :The international standard for polypropylene (PP) piping systems for hot and cold water, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), specifies the technical requirements, test methods and acceptance rules for PPR pipes.
- DIN 8077/8078:German industrial standard for quality control of PPR pipes and their fittings, including dimensional tolerances, mechanical properties, etc.
- EN 15874:European standards, which provide detailed technical specifications for PPR pipes for hot and cold water distribution.
2. Certifications For PPR pipes
- CE Certification: For PPR pipe products entering the EU market, they must be CE certified, indicating that the products meet the requirements of European health, safety and environmental protection regulations.
- REACH Certification: Although it is not a standard directly for PPR pipes, as part of the chemical management regulations, it imposes strict requirements on the chemical substances that may be contained in PPR pipes, which helps to improve the environmental performance of the products.
- WRAS certification (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme): UK water quality certification to ensure that PPR pipes used in drinking water systems do not contaminate water bodies.
- KIWA Certification: The certification provided by the Dutch water certification body is also applicable to guarantee the safety of PPR pipes in drinking water applications.
- NSF Certification: Certification provided by the National Sanitation Foundation that PPR pipe meets material safety standards applicable to drinking water systems.
3.Chinese standards
- GB/T 18742.1: Polypropylene piping systems for hot and cold water Part 1: General provisions. This part of the standard outlines the basic requirements and definitions of the overall system.
- GB/T 18742.2:Polypropylene piping systems for hot and cold water Part 2: Pipe. Specifies in detail the materials, specifications, performance requirements, test methods and inspection rules for PP-R pipes.
- GB/T 18742.3:Polypropylene piping systems for hot and cold water Part 3: Fittings. Covers materials, design, manufacture, performance requirements and test methods for pipe fittings.
- GB/T 17219:Although the safety evaluation standards for drinking water transmission and distribution equipment and protective materials are not directly aimed at PPR pipes, they have an important impact on the hygiene and safety of PPR pipes
- GB/18743-2002:Simple beam impact test method involving thermoplastic pipes for fluid transportation, indirectly affecting the physical property testing of PPR pipes.
Summary
These standards ensure the quality and safety of PPR pipes during production, inspection, installation and use, including the pipe’s pressure-bearing capacity, temperature resistance, hygiene standards and the quality of the fittings that go with it. In addition, the Chinese standard also takes into account the safety factor in different use environments, such as indoor burial depth, selection of pressure rating, etc., to adapt to the specific application needs and environmental conditions in China. Enterprises producing PPR pipes need to follow these standards to ensure that their products meet the technical specifications set by the state and to guarantee the safety and durability of the water supply system!
EEJIA ppr pipes will carry out strict quality tests on each batch of products, including pressure tests, thermal stability tests, etc., to ensure that the products comply with relevant national or international standards, so that consumers can feel at ease!
