UPVC pipes for soil and waste discharge systems inside buildings including ventilation and rainwater system
IS 13592:1992 specifies requirements for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) pipes used in soil and waste discharge systems, ventilation, and rainwater applications inside buildings. Covering nominal diameters from 40 mm to 160 mm, it defines material composition, dimensions, mechanical properties, testing methods, and quality control procedures to ensure durability, watertight joints, and safe use in plumbing and drainage systems. This standard is essential for manufacturers, quality inspectors, and engineers involved in building plumbing infrastructure.
