Manufacturers of hot and cold water pipes made from DOWLEXTM PE-RT (Polyethylene of raised temperature resistance) Resins now have the opportunity to reach a wider market for their products, thanks to new revisions in the international PE-RT pipe system standard ISO 22391.

These materials can be used to manufacture pipes with attractive dimensions suitable for a broad range of applications. In parallel to the ISO approval procedure, EU member states plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland approved the EN ISO 22391 standard, which obliges all countries that are members of the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) to adopt the standard as their national standard. National standards aligned with EN ISO 22391 will be identified by the addition of abbreviations representing the national standards organization of each respective country, for example DIN EN ISO 223491 in Germany and BS EN ISO 22391 in the United Kingdom.
