14、ies (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 organization
15、s, 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.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further
16、maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

25、ield of the supply of gaseous fuels.It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this part of ISO 4437.In conjunction with ISO 4437-1, ISO 4437-2, ISO 4437-4, and ISO 4437-5, it is applicable to PE pipes, fittings and valves, their joints, and joints with components of P
26、E and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions:a) the maximum operating pressure (MOP) is based on the design stress, determined from the compound minimum required strength (MRS) divided by the C factor, and taking into account rapid crack propagation (RCP) requirements;b)
27、a temperature of 20 C as reference temperature for the design basis.NOTE 1 For other operating temperatures, derating coefficients are given in ISO 4437-5:2014.NOTE 2 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account the
28、ir particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.This part of ISO 4437 is applicable for fittings of the following types: electrofusion socket fittings; electrofusion saddle fittings; spigot end fittings (for butt fusion using heated tools and elec
29、trofusion socket fusion); socket fusion fittings; mechanical fittings.The fittings can for example be in the form of couplers, saddles, equal and reduced tees, reducers, elbows, bends, or end caps.NOTE 3 Fabricated fittings are normally not used for gas applications except for larger dimensions or i
