Bibliography

This European Standard specifies performance requirements and means for evaluation of conformity for valves of thermoplastic material, by reference to product standards, for use in building and civil engineering applications for the delivery of liquid and gaseous fluids.It also contains information required for the purposes of regulatory marking.NOTEFor information, thermoplastic valves in conformity with this European Standard should be considered suitable for drinking water applications subject to either:a)compliance with any national regulations in the country of intended destination, which can include testing if this is the demonstration of fitness for drinking water applications;b)internal coating of the Product and subsequent testing if required by the national regulations in the intended country of destination.
