Specifies a method for determining the colour and turbidity of test waters after their contact with the organic materials used in piping systems.

This standard specifies a method for determining the colour and turbidity of test waters after their contact with the organic materials used in piping systems. The term \'products\' comprises pipes, fittings, ancillaries including their coatings and joints. The test method described in this standard is applicable to products to be used under various conditions for the transport of water intended for human consumption and raw water used for the manufacture of water intended for human consumption. Coatings or protective layers on products which are not intended to be in contact with these types of water are not covered by this method. This standard specifies the test method comprising a set of procedures with and without a disinfection pretreatment and possible temperatures for the test waters. The use of the disinfection pretreatment and the choice of the test temperature are dependant on the relevant national regulations and/or the system or product standards.
