January 16, 2002--The new certification is based on the ASTM F 2160-01 Standard Specifications for Solid Wall High Density Polyethylene Conduit.
NSF International (www.nsf.org) recently announced that it has expanded its plastics-conduit certification program to include high-density polyethylene (HDPE) telecommunications duct. The new certification is based on F 2160-01, the new American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Specifications for Solid Wall High Density Polyethylene Conduit Based on Controlled Outside Diameter.
ASTM F 2160-01 provides testing protocols and criteria for evaluating the performance of HDPE telecommunications duct.
"Last year, we expanded our plastics piping certification program to include electrical safety certification of HDPE and PVC conduit to the applicable UL and NEMA standards," said Mark Jost, vice president of NSF certification. "We're pleased to provide yet another service to our current and future plastic piping customers, enabling them to receive certification to the new telecommunications duct standard." Certified products bear the NSF mark, and are listed in the NSF listing books and on the NSF Web site.
