GET BIS CERTIFICATION FOR CHLORINATED POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (CPVC) PIPES FOR POTABLE HOT AND COLD WATER DISTRIBUTION SUPPLIES IS 15778:2007
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride resin. CPVC is significantly more flexible than PVC, and can also withstand higher temperatures. Uses include hot and cold water delivery pipes and industrial liquid handling CPVC, like PVC, is deemed safe for the transport and use of potable water.
BIS is a statutory institution established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,1986 to promote harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and attending to connected matters in the country.
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipes for potable hot and cold water distribution supplies product has been specified in IS 15778:2007 by Bureau of Indian Standards.
SCOPE :
This standard specifies requirements, test methods and methods of marking for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride plastic pipes for hot and cold water distribution supplies, made in three standard dimension ratios and intended for water service up to and including 82°C.
