ACCORDING TO IS 15328 : 2003

1. LABORATORY

1.1 A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped and staffed, where
different tests given in the Specification shall be carried out in accordance with the methods
given in the Indian Standard.

1.2 All test equipments shall be periodically checked, verified and calibrated and records
of such checks/verification/calibration shall be maintained.

2. TEST RECORDS

2.1 All records of tests as per this Scheme of Testing and Inspection shall be kept in suitable
forms.

2.2 Copies of any such records that may be required by BIS shall be made available at any
time on request.

3. QUALITY CONTROL

3.1 It is recommended that, as far as possible, Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods
may be used for controlling the quality of the product during production as envisaged in

clearly and indelibly marked on each pipe in ink/paint or hot embossed on white base at
intervals of not more than 3 m, but at least once per pipe in colour indicated in clause 12.3
of IS 15328 : 2003.

5.2 In the case of hot embossing, the pipes shall be also be provided near the end with
circumferential colour band as appropriate so as to identify the class of pipe.

clause 3 above. All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered by
this licence shall be marked with Standard Mark.

7. CONTROL UNIT

7.1 For the purpose of this Scheme, a continuous extrusion run of one size and class of
pipe from one extrusion compound from one machine up to a maximum of 48 hours
duration, shall constitute a control unit.

7.2 On the basis of the test results, decision regarding conformity or otherwise of the
production shall be made as follows:

7.2.1 Samples of the pipes shall be selected and tested for all requirements as per the
frequency specified in the Table1. If samples meets the requirements of Indian Standard,
product covered by the licence shall be marked with standard mark.

7.2.2 In case of failure in any of the tests, twice the number of samples be tested for
that requirement. If a further failure occurs, the entire lot shall not be marked.
