To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued. Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which may have been published since the Standard was purchased.Detailed information about joint Australian/New Zealand Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Australia web site at .au or Standards New Zealand web site at www.standards.co.nz and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line catalogue.Alternatively, both organizations publish an annual printed Catalogue with full details of all current Standards. For more frequent listings or notification of revisions, amendments and withdrawals, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand offer a number of update options. For information about these services, users should contact their respective national Standards organization.We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities.

The objective of this document is to provide a standard specification for manufacturers and purchasers of polyethylene pipes used for pressure applications. This revision is based largely on the latest ISO and CEN documents. The notable exception is the inclusion of Series 3 gas pipes, which are included for reasons of compatibility with existing systems. Series 2 gas pipe dimensions are such as to ensure compatibility with existing systems that conform to the ISO 11922-1 size series. Series 1 pressure pipes are for general pressure applications and are compatible with the ISO 11922-1 size series dimensions. For installation requirements, see AS 2033, Installation of polyethylene pipe systems; AS 3723, Installation and maintenance of plastics pipe systems for gas; and NZS 5258, Code of practice for gas distributio。
