Standards and Codes
Thomas Sixsmith, Reinhard Hanselka · 1997
For plastic pipe, as for most building materials, there are adopted standards to assure conformity and some degree of interchangeability between manufacturer’s products. In other cases standards have been adopted for safety reasons. Plastics are relatively new materials and changing rapidly. Some plastic piping systems occupy niches in the industry for which no standards may be available other than a general materials standard. The most often cited sources for standards or codes for plastic pipe are: ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials)ANSI (American National Standards Institute, Inc.)Commercial and Product Standards (CS and PS Standards)CSA (Canadian Standards Association)U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)Department of Defense Military StandardsDepartment of TransportationFederal SpecificationsFHA (Federal Housing Administration)IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) NSF (National Sanitation Foundation)NSPI (National Swimming Pool Institute)PHCC (Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors, National Association) SBCC (Southern Building Code Congress)SIA (Sprinkler Irrigation Association)WUC (Western Underground Committee)UL (Underwriters Laboratories) This chapter identifies those standards or published references that govern plastic pipe or plastic materials. It is not the intent to provide a complete reference library for such an expansive subject as plastic standards, but rather a simple listing of titles that can be looked up or referenced by the user. For further reading or to obtain a complete standard, contact information is provided at each agency listing within this chapter. II. ASTM STANDARDS The references to plastic materials (ASTM Vols. 08.01, 08.02, and 08.03-"Plastics-General Test Methods; Nomenclature; Materials, Film, Reinforced and Cellular Plastics") are provided for reference purposes and provide sources for further reading. The volume most often referred to is Vol. 09.04, “Plastic Pipe and Building Products.”In the serial designations prefixed to the following titles, the number following the dash indicates the year of original adoption as standard or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. Thus, standards adopted or revised during the year 1994 have as their final number, 94. A letter following this number indicates more than one revision during that year; that is, 94a indicates the second revision in 1994, 94b the third revision, etc. Standards that have been reapproved without change are indicated by the year of last reapproval in parentheses as part of the designation number, for example, (1994).Here is a list by subject (in numerical sequence) of the ASTM Vols. 08.01 to 08.03 for piping-related subjects: Plastics-General Test Methods; Nomenclature; Materials, Film, Reinforced and Cellular Plastics. Only those subject that may be referenced for plastic pipe are listed here.The volume that is devoted to plastic pipe and building products, 08.04, “Plastic Pipe and Building Products,” is listed by subject after the general materials volumes (08.01 to 08.03).
