This standard specifies the requirements for pipes, fittings and the piping system of chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C) solid-wall piping systems in the field of soil and waste discharge (low and high temperature) inside buildings (marked with "B") and for soil and waste discharge systems for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (marked with "BD"). Note 1: The application area "inside buildings" according to this standard, applies to the interior area of the building only.
