IIP supports companies in verifying compliance with mandatory and/or voluntary requirements indicated in the product regulations applicable to plastic pipes, fittings and valves used for the transport of drinking water, gas and for the drainage of fluids, and to the related raw materials (PE100RC, PE, PP, PVC, etc.) .
The tests can be used for the release and subsequent maintenance of product certifications or for the verification of specific production batches .
Dedicated analyses can also be conducted to identify the causes of breakages and/or malfunctions found in specific applications.
IIP was established as a reference body for the conformity assessment of plastic pipes in the service sector. Over the years, its scope has been progressively expanded. field of intervention, extending technical skills to numerous application areas , including:
drainage, waste and sewerage systems, central and underfloor heating systems
cooling and air conditioning,
distribution of hot and cold water in buildings
civil and industrial construction
many other technical solutions, based on customer requests.
Our mission is to ensure, through reliable and accredited laboratory tests, the safety, durability, and compliance of our products with the most important regulations on the market, such as:
UNI EN 12201 / ISO 4427
UNI EN 1555 / ISO 4437
UNI EN ISO 1452 / UNI EN ISO 1453
