Plastics piping systems for soil and waste discharge (low and high temperature) within the building structure - Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) - Part 2: Guidance for the assessment of conformity

Scope

This Technical Specification gives guidance for the assessment of conformity of materials (compounds/formulations), products and assemblies in accordance with EN 1455 1 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of third-party certification procedures.
NOTE 1 It is recommended that the quality management system conforms to or is no less stringent than the relevant requirements to EN ISO 9001 [1].
NOTE 2 If third-party certification is involved, it is recommended that the certification body is accredited to EN 45011 [2], EN 45012 [3] or EN ISO/IEC 17021 [4], as applicable.
NOTE 3 In order to help the reader, a basic test matrix is given in Annex A.
In conjunction with EN 1455 1, this document is applicable to solid wall piping systems made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) intended to be used for the following purposes:
- for soil and waste discharge (low and high temperature) inside buildings (application area code "B");
- for soil and waste discharge (low and high temperature) inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (application area code "BD").
NOTE 4 This is reflected in the marking of products by "B" or "BD".
