Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Plastic Pipes and Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
Unplasticized PVC pipes are widely used in practically all types of piping systems. This standard
has been formulated with a view to provide guidelines in the manufacture and use of UPVC pipes
for soil and waste discharge system including ventilation and rainwater for inside buildings.
In the formulation of this siandard, assistance has been derived from the following IS0 Standards:
a) IS0 3633 : 1991 Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride ( PVC-U ) pipes and fittings for soil and
waste discharge ( low and high temperature ) systems inside buildings + Specification
b) IS0 8283 : 1991 Plastic pipes and fittings - Dimensions of sockets and spigots for
discharge systems inside buildings : Part 1 Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride ( PVC-U ) and
chlorinated polyvinyl chloride ( PVC-C ).
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be
rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that
of the specified value in this standard.
