Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage — Structured-wall piping systems of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) — Part 2: Pipes and fittings with smooth external surface, Type A

This document, together with ISO 21138-1, specifies the definitions and requirements for pipes with smooth external and internal surfaces (Type A), fittings and systems based on unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) structured-wall piping systems intended to be used in non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage applications. NOTE 1 Pipes, fittings and the system complying with this document can also be used for highway drainage and surface water. This document specifies test methods and test parameters. This document covers a range of pipe and fitting sizes, materials, pipe constructions and nominal ring stiffnesses, and gives recommendations concerning colours. NOTE 2 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and installation practices or codes. In conjunction with ISO 21138-1, this document is applicable to structured-wall pipes and fittings, to their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials. It is applicable to pipes and fittings with or without an integral socket with elastomeric ring seal joints as well as welded and fused joints. NOTE 3 For dimensions larger than DN/OD 1200, or DN/ID 1200, this document can serve as general guidance regarding appearance, colour, physical and mechanical characteristics as well as performance requirements. Test methods are not included in this document.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 21138:2007), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the normative references have been updated;
— references to EN test methods have been updated to ISO test methods, when applicable;
— editorial improvements have been made for clarification.
