National foreword

This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Sector Board
for Materials and Chemicals and is the English language version of EN 802 : 1994
P h t i c s piping and ducting systems - Injection-moulded thermoplastics
fittings for pressure piping systems - Dst method for maximum deformation
by crushing, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).
It is incorporated into BS 2782 Methods of testing plastics Part 11
í%ermoplastics pipes, fittings and valves, as Method 1114F : 1995, for
association with related test methods for plastics materials and plastics piping
components.
This test method has been prepared for reference by other standards under
preparation by CEN for specification of plastics piping systems and components.
It has been implemented to enable experience of the method to be gained and for
use for other fresh applications.
It is also for use for the revision or amendment of other national standards as
practicable, but it should not be presumed to apply to any existing standard or
specification which contains or makes reference to a different test method until
that standard/specification has been amended or revised to make reference to
this method and adjust any requirements as appropriate.
Warning note. This British Standard, which is identical with EN 802 : 1994,
does not necessarily detail all the precautions necessary to meet the
requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Attention should
be paid to any appropriate safety precautions and the method should be operated
by trained personnel only.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from
legal obligations.
