Covers smooth wall and corrugated pipe and fittings intended for subsurface land, highway and construction drainage. Test requirements for bending, straightening, perforation deformation, high and low temperature impact resistance, elongation, creep strain and joint separation are given.

This standard specifies requirements for perforated plastics pipe and associated fittings designed for use in the drainage of surface and sub-surface land, highways and building construction sites.NOTE: Advisory information on the determination of compliance of a 'lot' with this standard is given in Appendix A.
