Foreword This document (CEN/TR 15438:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. This document is drafted in the three official CEN languages. In the tables of Clause 3 there is free space left for CEN Member bodies to add its own national language(s) to the symbols.

CEN/TR 15438:2007

Introduction For PE pressure piping systems, since the late 1980's, it is common practice to use a code indicating the intended use. This information is put on the pipe, the label of a fitting or valve or the packaging. It may also be repeated in manufacturer's technical files.


With the introduction of harmonised European Standards related to the Construction Products Directive [1] a lot of information shall accompany the CE marking symbol. Guidance Paper D [2] gives recommendations to the specification writers:

"Use of “codified” formats: Where additional information on the declared performances of harmonised characteristics is required, or to define the product, its intended use or its end-use condition, specification writers should explore the possibilities of using abbreviated forms of presentation (defined symbols, standard designations, classes of convenience or pictograms). Where this is done, it is important that specification writers ensure the consistent applications of such “codified” formats across product families". "Intended uses: Possible intended uses for the product(s) should be defined in the technical specification, together with appropriate reference terms, or symbols, to be used in the information accompanying the CE marking, if necessary. Products with more than one intended use will need to be accompanied by sufficient information to cover all of them, but the technical specification should provide some flexibility in the presentation of this information, if appropriate".

Symbols and shortcuts, terms and definitions

3.1

General

Symbols, shortcuts, terms and definitions given in this Technical Report are primarily based on existing standards as EN ISO 1043 parts 1 to 4, EN 13501-1, ISO 12176-4 and ISO/FDIS 13950, as well as on internal CEN/TC155 [3] and ISO/TC138 [4] Guidance papers and national standards [5] to which are only added new items necessary to respond to the need of CE marking rules. Additional information may be given in specific product standards.

3.2


Materials and products

Reference to material or product symbols or shortcuts can be found in the standards given in Table 1. NOTE

It is intended that the CEN member body adds its own national language(s) to the tables given in this clause.
