This standard is applicable to circular-cross-section seamless polypropylene (PP) pipes made from
homopolymer polypropytsne (PP-H), block copolymer polypropylene (PP-B), random copolymer
polypropylene (PP-R) or random copolymer polypropylene with modified crystalline structure and elevated
temperature resistance (PP-RCT).
Individual requirements specified in this standard may be omitted or supplemented in technical delivery
conditions relating to particular applications.
Attention is brought to the fact that existing European product standards apply for some specific applications,
which are to be complied with where necessary. Some of these product standards are listed in the
bibliography for the information of users of this standard. Please note that because European Standards are
continually being developed, this list is not exhaustive.
