European foreword
This document (EN 17176-1:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics
piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2019 and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by October 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
EN 17176 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics piping systems for water supply
and for buried and above ground drainage, sewerage and irrigation under pressure — Oriented
unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O):
— Part 1: General (this document);
— Part 2: Pipes;
— Part 3: Fittings (Technical Specification);
— Part 5: Fitness for purpose of the system;
— Part 7: Guidance for assessment of conformity (in preparation).
For valves, see EN ISO 1452-4 [6].
Guidance for installation is given in ISO/TR 4191 [7].
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,

Introduction
The System Standard, of which this is Part 1, specifies the requirements for a piping system made from
oriented unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) and its components. The piping system is intended
to be used for water supply, pressurized drainage, sewerage, treated waste water and irrigation
systems to be used underground or above ground where protected from direct sunlight.
In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused
by the products covered by this part of EN 17176, the following is relevant:
a) This part of EN 17176 provides no information as to whether or not the products can be used
without restriction.
b) Existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of these products
remain in force.
Requirements and test methods for PVC-O components are specified in EN 17176-2 and
CEN/TS 17176-3:2018. For other components (not manufactured from PVC-O) reference is made to the
following standards: EN ISO 1452-3 (PVC-U) and EN 12842 (Cast Iron). Characteristics for fitness of
purpose (mainly for joints) are specified in EN 17176-5.
This part of EN 17176 specifies the general aspects and characteristics of materials.
1 Scope
This part of EN 17176 specifies the material characteristics of oriented unplasticized poly(vinyl
chloride) (PVC-O) solid wall piping systems intended for water supply and for buried drainage,
sewerage and irrigation under pressure or above-ground where protected from direct sunlight.
In conjunction with EN 17176-2, CEN/TS 17176-3 and EN ISO 1452-3, it is applicable to PVC-O pipes,
PVC-O fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials
intended to be used for the following:
a) water mains and services lines;
b) conveyance of water for both outside and inside buildings;
c) drainage, sewerage and treated waste water under pressure;
d) irrigation under pressure.
Joints constructed of other materials will meet their own standards in addition to the fitness of purpose
requirements specified in EN 17176-5.
It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water with a maximum allowable operating
1)
pressure (PFA) up to and including 25 bar . The piping system according to this document is intended
for the conveyance of cold water up to and including 45 °C and especially in those applications where
special performance requirements are needed, such as impact loads and pressure fluctuations.
For temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C, EN 17176-2:2018, Figure C.1 applies.
NOTE It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these
aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation
practices or codes.
