Specifies requirements for PVC pipes and fittings for pressure applications for use below ground or above ground, where they are not exposed to direct sunlight.

This Standard specifies requirements for PVC pipes and fittings for pressure applications for use below ground or above ground, where they are not exposed to direct sunlight.NOTE: Pipes and fittings manufactured to this Standard should be used and installed only in accordance with AS 2032, NZS 7643 and AS 2566.1, as applicable.Methods of demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.
