PD CEN/TS 1329-2:2021

What is PD CEN/TS 1329‑2 about? 

PD CEN/TS 1329‑2 gives requirements and guidance for the assessment of conformity of formulations, products and assemblies in accordance with EN 1329-1 intended to be included in the manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of third-party certification procedures. 

PD CEN/TS 1329‑2 is applicable to piping systems made of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) intended for soil and waste discharge systems (low and high temperature) - inside buildings (application area code “B”) and both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (application area code “BD”). 

Note 1: The quality management system is expected to conform to or is no less stringent than the relevant requirements to EN ISO 9001. 

Note 2: If third party certification is involved, the certification body is expected to be compliant with either EN ISO/IEC 17065 or EN ISO/IEC 17021-series, as applicable. 

Who is PD CEN/TS 1329‑2 for? 

PD CEN/TS 1329‑2 on PVC-U piping systems is applicable to: 

• Inspection authority 
• Manufacturers of plastic pipes 
• Quality control personnel 
• Dealers, distributors and importers of plastic pipes 

Why should you use PD CEN 1329‑2? 

You need powerful, dependable, and long-lasting systems to discharge wastewater from residential, civic, and commercial structures. For soil and trash discharge, plastic pipe systems have proven to be effective. 

PD CEN/TS 1329‑2 helps you to improve the 'level of sustainability and the 'environmental impact' of PVC piping systems, whilst improving the recommendations and safe use of recycled material.  

PD CEN/TS 1329‑2 is a revision of the EN 1329 series is proposed in order to improve the 'level of sustainability and the 'environmental impact' of PVC piping systems, whilst improving the recommendations and safe use of recycled material.
