Foreword

Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) is a parastatal under the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and
Industry established by the Act of Parliament of 1983, of the Laws of Uganda. UNBS is mandated to co-
ordinate the elaboration of standards and is
(a) a member of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and

(b) a contact point for the WHO/FAO Codex Alimentarius Commission on Food Standards, and

(c) the National Enquiry Point on TBT/SPS Agreements of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

The work of preparing Uganda Standards is carried out through Technical Committees. A Technical
Committee is established to deliberate on standards in a given field or area and consists of representatives of
consumers, traders, academicians, manufacturers, government and other stakeholders.
Draft Uganda Standards adopted by the Technical Committee are widely circulated to stakeholders and the
general public for comments. The committee reviews the comments before recommending the draft standards
for approval and declaration as Uganda Standards by the National Standards Council.
Committee membership

The following organizations were represented on the Building and civil engineering standards Technical
Committee (UNBS/TC 3), during the development of this standard:
• Kyambogo University

• Makerere University

• Ministry of Works and Transport

• Metro Plastics

• Multiple Industries Ltd

• Uganda National Bureau of Standards

4 Requirements

4.1 General

The internal and external surfaces of pipes and casings shall be smooth, free from blistering, sink marks, and
any inhomogeneities likely to impair their performance. Slight irregularities such as shallow grooves are
permitted provided the nominal wall thickness is not less than the specified value at any point.

Pipes and casings should be dyed blue throughout (for example, colour ISO 11664-1 – 17,3 : 5,1 : 2,5,
corresponding to colour RAL 5015 as in Farbregister RAL 840 HR [1]), slight deviations from this colour being
permitted.

Subject to agreement, filter pipes may be given a gravel jacket which shall overlap the perforated section by at
least 20 mm at either end.

4.2 Materials

4.2.1 General

Filter pipes and casings shall be made of PVC-U as specified in Table 3, without fillers. The type and
quantities of vinyl chloride polymers, stabilizers, lubricants and other additives (for example, pigments) to be
added to the moulding compound shall be at the manufacturer’s discretion. Moulding compounds of unknown
composition shall not be used.

The manufacturer shall, on request, provide a type 2.1 inspection document.

4.3.2 Screw thread

The thread used shall be a Whitworth pipe thread with parallel internal thread and taper external thread as
specified in ISO 7-1.

4.3.3 Seals

Sealing tape or cement, selected to suit the pipe material and the particular application, shall be used to seal
the pipe joints.

4.3 Physiological safety

Pipes, casings, fittings and jointing materials shall not release harmful substances into the drinking water in
such amounts as are likely to affect the taste, odour or colour of the water. Algal or microbial growth in the
water shall not be stimulated.
