DIN EN 14901-2:2018-11

To allow ductile iron pipe manufacturers and users of the product to apply TMPO linings and thereby comply with the relevant requirements of EN 545, EN 545, EN 969. This demonstrates innovation according to Annex I, by the use of non-traditional coating systems offering environmental and economic benefits. The TMPO linings meet the criteria expressed in EN 14901, except for those pertinent to fusion bonded epoxy chemistry. The linings are being used in other parts of the world eg Australia and New Zealand and have been incorporated in the recent AWWA C116/A21.16-15 publication. The current status for TMPO linings in EU amounts to a barrier to trade and does not support SMEs involved in the manufacture, lining and application of the material that offers human health benefits, as highlighted in the Annex I and II.
