ISO 580:2005

ISO 580:2005 specifies two methods for assessing the effects of heating on injection-moulded thermoplastics pipe fittings -- method A, using an air oven, and method B, using a liquid bath. In case of disagreement, method A is the reference method. ISO 580:2005 is applicable to cement-welded fittings as well as to flanged fittings and fittings incorporating elastomeric seals and to fittings consisting of the assembly of several moulded parts (e.g. union connectors). It is applicable to both pressure and non-pressure fittings.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
