For example, teft altered by CEN amendment A1 is indicated by .EN 681-1:1996 was produced as a result of international discussio
10、ns in which the United Kingdom took an active part.EN 681-1:1996 has been approved by CEN member bodies under the weighted voting procedures introduced in 1988 to coincide with the introduction of “New Approach” Directives from the Commission of the European Community.To ensure that these products d
11、o not have any detrimental effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, the materials of construction in contact with water will be tested in accordance with the method standards being developed by CEN/TC 64 concerned with effects of materials on water quality.In the absence of th
12、ese standards, the respective national standard, BS 6920 applies.This standard supersedes requirements for vulcanized rubber seals types W, D, H and S, used in water and drainage applications as given in BS 2494 and these types will be withdrawn by amendment. Other Parts of BS EN 681 will be publish
13、ed in the future to supersede requirements for type T and type G seals in BS 2494. Attention is drawn to paragraph 2 of the European foreword. It was decided by CEN/TC 208 that there would be a one year transition period during which vulcanized rubber seals may be produced to either BS 2494 or BS EN
14、 681-1. Following the changeover period, BS 2494 will be amended to delete requirements for vulcanized rubber seals, i.e. by October 1997.Cross-referencesThe British Standards which implement international or European publications referred to in this document may be found in the BSI Catalogue under

27、ean Free Trade Association and supports Essential Requirements of EU Directives.For the relationship with the EU Directives, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard.This Part is based on ISO 4633 and ISO 9631, bringing these two sets of requirements (for cold and hot wat
28、er respectively) under one specification. The major changes from ISO 4633 and ISO 9631 have been to incorporate requirements for effect on water quality and ozone resistance. The emphasis in respect of low temperature testing has moved away from hardness measurement to compression set, which is more
29、 discriminating.A European Standard is to be prepared for material effects on water quality and when published it is intended that materials comply with the requirements of that standard. A European Standard is also to be prepared for microbiological deterioration requirements and when published it
30、is intended that materials comply with the requirements of that standard.Part 2 has been prepared by CEN/TC 208 in response to requests from CEN/TC 155 for a material specification for thermoplastic elastomer seals for use in conjunction with non-pressure thermoplastic pipe systems.Part 3 has been p

46、r and does not contravene the EC Directives and EFTA Regulations on the quality of drinking water.1 ScopeThis standard specifies requirements for materials used in vulcanized rubber seals for:1) cold potable water supply (up to 50 C);2) hot potable and non-potable water supply (up to 110 C);3) drain
47、age, sewerage and rainwater systems (continuous flow up to 45 C and intermittent flow up to 95 C);The different designations of seals specified are defined according to their type, application and requirements (see Table 4).General requirements for finished joint seals are also given; any additional
48、 requirements called for by the particular application are specified in the relevant product standards taking into account that the performance of pipe joints is a function of the seal material properties, seal geometry and pipe joint design. This standard should be used where appropriate with produ
49、ct standards which specify performance requirements for joints.This standard is applicable to joint seals for all pipeline materials, including iron, steel, clay, fibre cement, concrete, reinforced concrete, plastics and glass-reinforced plastics.It is applicable to elastomeric components of composite or non-composite seals. In the case of composite seals for materials of hardness ranges from 76 IRHD to 95 IRHD the requirements for elongation at break, compression set and stress relaxation apply only when
