Annex A (normative) Test method for the resistance of valves
                    to operating loads (see 5.1.4)
Annex B (normative) Torque requirements for gate valves to be
                    operated by ring key and bar (see 5.2.3
                    and Annex A)
Annex C (normative) Test method for the operation of valves
                    (see 5.2.3)
Annex D (normative) Test method for the endurance of valves
                    (see 5.5)

Defines the minimum fitness for purpose requirements for isolating valves to be connected to, or used in water supply systems, either above or below ground, carrying water for human consumption. Establishes design and performance requirements, and the conformity assessment procedure for isolating valves, whatever their type and materials.

This European Standard defines the minimum fitness for purpose requirements for isolating valves to be used in, or connected to, water supply pipe systems, above or below ground (see EN 805), carrying water intended for human consumption.

This standard specifies the design requirements, the performance requirements, and the conformity assessment method for isolating valves, whatever their type and materials.

This standard applies in priority to any other product or test standard: the requirements from other standards apply only when this standard refers to them.

This part of the standard deals with the requirements applicable to isolating valves up to DN 2 000 and PFA 6 bar to PFA 25 bar.
