Annex A (normative) Specific technical requirements for high
                    tensile steel wire used for prestressing
                    concrete pipe with or without steel cylinder
Annex B (informative) Typical joints
Annex C (informative) Design guidance for prestressed concrete
                      cylinder pipes
Annex D (informative) Design guidance for prestressed concrete
                      non-cylinder pipes

Covers the requirements and the manufacture of prestressed concrete cylinder and non-cylinder pressure pipes and fittings. Based on the concepts of this standard, larger sizes could be manufactured.
