Introduction
This European Standard contains the requirements for adhesives for non-pressure thermoplastic piping
systems independent of piping system application. The existing system and application standards which
specify parameters for adhesive joints in particular application areas and the test methods specified
therein remain unchanged. The requirements referred to in these system standards concern
temperature, pressure and standard life span of the piping system, and are applicable to all the
components of the piping system for all the relevant dimensions that require specified application.

demonstrated by:
determination of the product type;
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
General
All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performing tests. (e.g. use of previously existing data, classified without further
testing (CWFT) and conventionally accepted performance).
Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into
account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same
AVCP system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such
that the results are applicable to the product in question.
For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is
considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are
representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family.
NOTE
Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics. Example:
Products/Formulations which only differ in colour or slightly in viscosity can be considered as one product family.
Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable
representative sample.
In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in
the standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance:
at the beginning of the production of a new or modified adhesive for non-pressure thermoplastic
piping systems(unless a member of the same product range), or
at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated
properties); or
10
BS EN 14680:2015
EN 14680:2015 (E)
they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the
adhesive for non-pressure thermoplastic piping systems design, in the raw material or in the
supplier of the components, or in the method of production (subject to the definition of a family),
which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics.
Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component
manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics
need not be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented.

BS EN 14680:2015
EN 14680:2015 (E)
If the manufacturer uses only finished products, the operations under b) shall lead to an equivalent
level of compliance of the product as if FPC had been carried out during the production.
If the manufacturer carries out parts of the production himself, the operations under b) may be reduced
and partly replaced by operations under a). Generally, the more parts of the production that are carried
out by the manufacturer, the more operations under b) may be replaced by operations under a).
In any case the operation shall lead to an equivalent level of compliance of the product as if FPC had
been carried out during the production.
NOTE
Depending on the specific case, it can be necessary to carry out the operations referred to under a) and
b), only the operations under a) or only those under b).
The operations under a) refer to the intermediate states of the product as on manufacturing machines
and their adjustment, and measuring equipment etc. These controls and tests and their frequency shall
be chosen based on product type and composition, the manufacturing process and its complexity, the
sensitivity of product features to variations in manufacturing parameters etc.
The manufacturer shall establish and maintain records that provide evidence that the production has
been sampled and tested. These records shall show clearly whether the production has satisfied the
defined acceptance criteria and shall be available for at least three years.
6.3.4 One-off products, pre-production products (e.g. prototypes) and products produced in
very low quantity
The adhesives for non-pressure thermoplastic piping systems produced as a one-off, prototypes
assessed before full production is established, and products produced in very low quantities (less than
one ton) per year shall be assessed as follows.
For type assessment, the provisions of 6.2.1, 3rd paragraph apply, together with the following
additional provisions:
in case of prototypes, the test samples shall be representative of the intended future production
and shall be selected by the manufacturer;
on request of the manufacturer, the results of the assessment of prototype samples may be
included in a certificate or in test reports issued by the involved third party.
The FPC system of one-off products and products produced in very low quantities shall ensure that raw
materials and/or components are sufficient for production of the product. The provisions on raw
materials and/or components shall apply only where appropriate. The manufacturer shall maintain
records allowing traceability of the product.
For prototypes, where the intention is to move to series production, the initial inspection of the factory
and FPC shall be carried out before the production is already running and/or before the FPC is already
in practice. The following shall be assessed:
the FPC-documentation; and
the factory.
a) that all resources necessary for the achievement of the product characteristics included in this
European Standard will be available, and
b) that the FPC-procedures in accordance with the FPC-documentation will be implemented and
followed in practice, and
15
BS EN 14680:2015
