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 organizations, governmental and non- governmental, in liaison with SO, also take part in the work. iSO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (lEC)onallmattersofelectrotechnicalstandardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard SO 4433-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 138, Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the transport of fluids, Subcommittee Sc 3, Plastics pipes and fittings for industrial applications. Together with the other parts (see below), this part of iSO 4433 cancels and replaces ISO 4433:1984, which has been technically revised. ISO 4433 consists of the following parts, under the general title Thermo- plastics pipes-Resistance to chemical fluids-Classification: Part1:Immersiontestmethod Part 2: Polyolefin pipes Part 3: Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC-U), high-impact poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-HI) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C)pipes Part 4: Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) pipes Annex A of this part of iSO 4433 is for information only. @ISO1997 All rights reserved.

The method is based on the change in mass and changes in tensile properties resulting from immersion of test pieces, taken from the walls of PvC pipes, in the liquid to be conveyed, in the absence of pressure. If the pipes are to be used under stress, for example for conveying liquids under pressure, the method only allows incompatibilities between the liquid and the material to be detected; a “satisfactory" or “limited" result needs tobe confirmed bysubsequenttestsusing g sO 8584-1[1] and ISO/TR 8584-2[2]. NOTES 1 If pertinent to the proposed application, consideration should be given to 2 The possibility of a build-up of electrostatic charge in pipes during use should also be considered. ili
