What is ISO 4427-1 - Polyethylene (PE) plastics piping systems about?
The ISO 4427 series of standards are a set of system standards that specify the requirements for a piping system and its components when made from polyethylene (PE). ISO 4427-1 is the first part in the multi-series that is applicable to the plastics piping systems for water supply and for drainage and sewerage under pressure. It details best practices to ensure safety, reliability, and high-performance of PE plastic piping systems.
ISO 4427-1 specifies the general aspects of polyethylene (PE) compounds for the manufacture of pressure pipes and fittings (mains and service pipes) for buried or above-ground applications, intended for the conveyance of:
Water for human consumption
Raw water prior to treatment
