Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 9393-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 138, Plastics pipes,fittings and valves for the
transport of fluids, Subcommittee SC 7, Valves and auxiliary equipment of plastics materials.

4 Materials test 61d04d8e1f1a/iso-9393-2-2005
4.1 The material shall be tested in accordance with the conditions and requirements given in ISO 9080 or
equivalent.

4.2 It is not necessary to retest material which has already been tested by the material supplier.

5 Shell test

5.1 Test conditions

The test specimen described in ISO 9393-1:2004, 5.2, shall be subjected to the applicable test conditions as
given in Table 1.

5.2 Requirements

The test specimen shall be considered satisfactory if no leakage from the valve is noted, and no rupture or
other visible failure occurs during the test period. The test specimen shall be regarded as unsatisfactory if the
valve body bursts before the end of the test period.

If a pipe or a connection fails, the test shall be considered null and void and shall be repeated using a different
specimen.
