Abstract / scope
ISO 13950:2006 specifies the characteristics of automatic recognition systems (numerical recognition by means of bar codes or magnetic cards, electromechanical recognition using implanted-resistor connectors and self-regulation systems) that enable the energy supply to be delivered automatically to the thermoplastic electrofusion fittings used in pipe jointing.
It is applicable to electrofusion fittings intended to be used for plastics piping systems for the conveyance of gaseous fuels, water for human consumption (including raw water prior to treatment) and for general purposes, or of other fluids.
