This standard specifies a method for testing the impact strength of fittings by dropping them onto a rigid surface. For a fitting with seal retaining components, such as seal retaining caps or rings, the method includes assessment of the watertightness of the fittings when the fixing elements show disturbance as a result of the test. This standard is applicable to fittings made from thermoplastics materials intended to be used for buried and above ground applications.
