DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS

The Department of Standards Malaysia (Standards Malaysia) is the national standards

and accreditation body of Malaysia.

The main function of Standards Malaysia is to foster and promote standards, standardisation
and accreditation as a means of advancing the national economy, promoting industrial
efficiency and development, benefiting the health and safety of the public, protecting the

y
consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and furthering international
cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.

nl
Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which comprise
balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with relevant interests, as

O
may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest extent possible, Malaysian
Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international standards. Approval of a standard as
a Malaysian Standard is governed by the Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549]. Malaysian
Standards are reviewed periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so
ew
far as they are made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-
laws or any other similar ways.

Foreword

This Malaysian Standard was developed by the Working Group on ABS Pipes and Fittings
under the authority of the National Standards Committee on Plastics and Plastics Products.

This Malaysian Standard consists of the following parts, under the general title, Acrylonitrile-
butadiene-styrene (ABS) piping systems for pressure applications

y
Part 1: Specification for compounds, pipes and fittings

nl
Part 2: Method of test

Part 3: Solvent cement and priming (cleaning) fluids for use with ABS pipes and fittings

Part 4: Guides for installation of ABS pipe systems

b)
inclusion of Table 7 and 8;
O
Major modifications in this revision are as follows:

a)

inclusion of chemical resistance as Clause 5.7;

ew
c) inclusion of 10h test for pressure testing in short-term hydrostatic pressure as in Clause
5.8.1;

d) modification on Table 16 and 17;

i

e) amendment of wall thickness for 225mm to 630 mm in Table 18;

ev

f) modification of resin compound classification as, ABS 90; and

g) inclusion of Table E1. Minimum sampling and testing frequency plan.

This Malaysian Standard cancels and replaces the following standards:

Pr

MS 1419: Part 1:2007, Specification for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) pipes and fittings
for pressure applications: Part 1: Pipes and fittings (First revision)

Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligation.
