DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA
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 consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and furthering international
cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.

Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which comprise
balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with relevant interests, as
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
far as they are made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-
laws or any other similar ways.

For the purposes of Malaysian Standards, the following definitions apply:

Revision: A process where existing Malaysian Standard is reviewed and updated which
resulted in the publication of a new edition of the Malaysian Standard.

Confirmed MS: A Malaysian Standard that has been reviewed by the responsible committee
and confirmed that its contents are current.

Amendment: A process where a provision(s) of existing Malaysian Standard is altered. The

changes are indicated in an amendment page which is incorporated into the existing Malaysian
Standard. Amendments can be of technical and/or editorial nature.

Technical corrigendum: A corrected reprint of the current edition which is issued to correct
either a technical error or ambiguity in a Malaysian Standard inadvertently introduced either in
drafting or in printing and which could lead to incorrect or unsafe application of the publication.

NOTE: Technical corrigenda are not to correct errors which can be assumed to have no consequences in the application
of the MS, for example minor printing errors.

STANDARDS MALAYSIA has appointed SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop, distribute
and sell Malaysian Standards.

Organization for Standardization (ISO) with the following modifications:

a) in the source text, "this International Standard" should read "this Malaysian Standard";

b) the comma which is used as a decimal sign (if any), to read as a point;

c) in the source text, "ISO 1452" has been replaced by "MS 628";

d) in the source text, ISO 1452-2 has been replaced by MS 628-2;

e) the following deviations have been incorporated in the source text and marked by

National foreword (concluded)

MS 628 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics piping systems for
water supply and for buried and above-ground drainage and sewerage under pressure -
Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U):

Part 1: General

Part 2: Pipes

Part 3: Fittings

Part 4: Solvent cement

Part 5: Fitness for purpose of the system

Part 6: Guide for installation

Part 7: Guidance for conformity assessment

The MS 628 series have been renumbered as above for consistency.

This Malaysian Standard cancels and replaces MS 628: Part 2: Section 2.1:1999,
Specification for unplasticised PVC (uPVC) pipes for water supply: Part 2: joints and fittings
for use with unplasticised PVC pipes: Section 2.1: uPVC joints and fittings.

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

NOTE. MOD on the front cover indicates a modified standard i.e. a standard adapted from an
International Standard with permitted technical deviations, which are clearly identified and explained.
The changes in structure are permitted provided that the altered structure permits easy comparison of
the content of the two standards. Modified standards also include the changes permitted under identical
correspondence.
