Full title and description

ISO 10508:2006/Amd 1:2018 — Plastics piping systems for hot and cold water installations — Guidance for classification and design — Amendment 1. This document provides supplemental editorial and technical updates to the second edition (2006) of ISO 10508 giving guidance on classification and design of plastic piping systems and associated fittings used for hot and cold water distribution and heating systems.

Abstract

ISO 10508:2006 gives guidance for the classification and design of pressurised hot and cold water systems that use plastics pipes and plastics or metal fittings. It establishes a classification system for common service conditions, provides a basis for evaluation and design of thermoplastics pipes and fittings relative to system performance requirements, and defines applicable pressure and temperature ranges. Amendment 1 (2018) provides concise changes and clarifications to the 2006 edition.

Scope

This International Standard gives guidance for the classification and design of hot and cold water pressure systems using plastics pipes and plastics or metal fittings. It applies to piping systems used to carry water in distribution systems of hot and cold water (including potable water) and in transportation systems of hot water for heating. The standard addresses systems under design pressures up to at least 10 bar at 20 °C and up to 10 bar at temperatures assigned by the relevant class of application, and it specifies limits beyond which the standard does not apply.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification system for service conditions (pressure/temperature classes) for hot and cold water piping systems.
• Guidance for evaluation and design of thermoplastic pipes and fittings in relation to system performance requirements.
• Design pressure and temperature limits (application classes and associated Tmax/Tmal values).
• Applicability to potable water and heating distribution systems; exclusions where TD, Tmax or Tmal exceed table limits.
• Note that acceptance of specific pipe or fitting materials remains subject to product or system standards referenced by ISO/TC 138.
• Editorial and technical clarifications introduced by Amendment 1 (2018).

Typical use and users

ISO 10508:2006/Amd 1:2018 is used by product standards authors, piping-system designers, manufacturers of plastic pipes and fittings, building-services engineers, installers, conformity-assessment bodies, testing laboratories and regulators. It is referenced when establishing design criteria, specifying materials and classes for potable water and heating piping systems, and when harmonising national or regional plumbing and installation rules with international guidance.

Related standards

This document is part of the plastics piping systems family and is used alongside related ISO standards and product standards such as earlier and subsequent ISO plastics piping standards (including predecessor ISO 10508:1995 and other ISO/TC 138 publications). Commonly referenced complementary standards include product-specific standards for piping materials and fittings (examples include standards for PVC-U, PEX systems and general performance requirements for pipes and fittings used in potable water systems).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10508:2006/Amd 1:2018 is the second-edition International Standard ISO 10508 (2006) with Amendment 1 (2018). It provides guidance for classification and design of plastics piping systems used for hot and cold water installations.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers a classification system for common service conditions, guidance for evaluation and design of thermoplastic pipes and fittings relative to system performance, and defines applicability limits in terms of pressure and temperature for hot and cold water distribution and heating systems.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Product standards writers, pipe and fitting manufacturers, design and consulting engineers, installers, conformity-assessment and testing laboratories, and regulatory bodies use this standard to set or harmonise design criteria and product selection for water distribution systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2006 second edition is the current edition and it was updated by Amendment 1 in September 2018. Users should verify national adoptions or later revisions before assuming the status for a specific country or project.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. ISO 10508 sits within the wider family of ISO standards for plastics piping systems developed under ISO/TC 138. It complements product-specific ISO standards and other guidance documents governing materials, fittings and system performance.
