1 Introduction
This guide summarises the main standards that are used in the butt fusion, electrofusion and socket fusion welding of polyethylene pipe. Relevant national, international and industry standards have been included:
- British Standards Institution (BSI)
- The Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM)
- UK Water Industry Specifications (WIS)
- European standards (CEN)
- International standards (ISO)
- German standards (DIN, DVS and WL)
- American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM)
- American Welding Society (AWS)
This information has been compiled from a variety of sources and all attempts have been made to ensure its accuracy at the date of publication. Readers should, however, be conscious of the continuous development of standards.
