This part of ISO 10465 describes the procedures for underground installation of flexible glass-reinforced thermosetting resin (GRP) pipes. It refers generally to GRP pipes as specified in the system standards ISO 10467 and ISO 10639, but it can also be used as a guide for the installation of other GRP pipes. It does not include jacking, relining or above-ground installations; nor does it cover health and safety or environmental conditions, these being addressed in national regulations at the place of installation.
NOTE The installation nomenclature, dimensions and soil moduli zones referred to in this part of ISO 10465 are shown in Figure 1.
