PE100+ Quality Materials List

PE100+ Association ensures the very highest quality of PE 100 products by continuously monitoring three fundamental properties :

1. Creep Rupture Strength (CRS)
2. Stress Crack Resistance (SCR)
3. Resistance to Rapid Crack Propagation ( RCP)

Network engineers have identified these to be crucial for increasing the use of PE in gas and water distribution networks.

Property	Test Method	PE 100+ Association requirements
Creep Rupture Strength	Pressure test at 20°C and 12.0 MPa	200 h
Stress Crack Resistance	Pipe notch test at 80°C and 9.2 bar	500 h
Resistance to Rapid Crack Propagation	S4 Test at 0°C	Pc 10 bar

All test are performed on 110mm SDR 11 pipe.

On behalf of the PE100+ Association, Kiwa Gastec Certification B.V., an independent testing authority in the Netherlands repeats those test rounds together with various independent and internationally respected laboratories every seven to ten months.

The following products met the PE 100+ requirements (manufacturers in alphabetical order)
