assemblies in accordance with the applicable part(s) of EN 1852 intended to be included in the
manufacturer’s quality plan as part of the quality management system and for the establishment of
certification procedures.
NOTE 1 The quality management system is expected to conform to or be no less stringent than the
relevant requirements in EN ISO 9001 [1].
NOTE 2 If third-party certification is involved, the certification body is expected be accredited to
EN ISO/IEC 17065 [2] or EN ISO/IEC 17021 [3], as applicable.
NOTE 3 In order to help the reader, a basic test matrix is given in Annex A.
In conjunction with EN 1852-1 this document is applicable to solid wall piping systems made of
polypropylene (PP) intended to be used for:
— non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage outside the building structure (application area
code “U”), and
— non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage for both buried in ground within the building
structure (application area code “D”) and outside the building structure.
This is reflected in the marking of products by “U” and “UD”.

Products and assemblies shall be produced by the manufacturer under a quality management system
which includes a quality plan.
NOTE It is advised that the quality management system conforms to or is no less stringent than the relevant

6 Testing and inspection
6.1 Material specification
For the purposes of this document, the material specification consists of a polypropylene (PP)
compound, additives and, if applicable, non-virgin materials with known dosage level.
When a masterbatch is used, it shall be considered as a change of compound, if the type of carrier of the
pigment is changed.
A lower content of non-virgin material in the compound which has already been Type-tested and which
is fulfilling the agreed specification is not considered as a change of material.
6.2 Grouping
6.2.1 General
For the purposes of this document, the groups specified in 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 applies.
