The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 13950 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 138, Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the transport of fluids, Subcommittee SC 4, Plastics pipes and fittings for the supply of gaseous fuels. This first edition of ISO 13950 cancels and replaces ISO/TR 13950:1997, of which it constitutes a technical revision.

It is applicable to electrofusion fittings intended to be used for plastics piping systems for the conveyance of gaseous fuels, water for human consumption (including raw water prior to treatment) and for general purposes, or of other fluids. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Fusion parameters are recorded in code form on the data medium. At the manufacturers initiative or in response to user request, other information for fitting identification, identification of test data, fusion cycle optimization, additional safety measures, etc. can also be encoded For a heating cycle, the system reads, processes and memorizes the information recorded on the data medium. Successive messages are displayed, or signal tones emitted, to request the operator to follow a procedure, defined by the fitting manufacturer, specific to the fitting in question and including its recognition. 4.1.2 Field of application and limits Numerically controlled fusion machines capable of reading fusion parameters can be used for all electrofusion and electro-heating assembly techniques. The limits of this type of fusion control unit shall be detailed by the manufacturer in terms of the maximum energy to be delivered, the fusion programmes incorporated, BS ISO 13950:2007 Copyright British Standards Institution Provided by IHS under license with BSI - Uncontrolled Copy Licensee=Boeing Co/5910770001 Not for Resale, 08/14/2008 22:16:42 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- 4 the fusion adaptations incorporated, and the limits of the programmable parameters. 4.1.3 Bar codes 4.1.3.1 General The system for entering data using bar codes offers a number of different user possibilities, both for the fitting supplier and the manufacturer of the fusion machine: the fitting manufacturer records on the bar code the data he considers will be needed to ensure correct assembly, the amount of data depending on factors such as particular requirements or new technical developments; the control unit manufacturer is free to develop his own software and the technical design of the unit, and can choose which data to display, which commands will be available, the criteria for fusion cycle emergency stop, and the display and recording of the various faults, the memorization method for fusion data, etc. 4.1.3.2 Format of bar codes The format of bar codes shall one or the other of the following. a) The 24 digit “2-in-5” interleaved type. The ratio between the width of the thicker bar and the thinner bar shall be 2,5. The bar code content is summarized in Annex A. b) The 32 digit “2-in-5” interleaved type, including traceability coding as summarized in Annex B. The ratio between the width of the thicker bar and the thinner bar shall be 2,5. 4.1.3.3 Bar code structure The bar code structure shall have a predetermined overall length of either 24 digits or 32 digits. One of these digits is composed by a control character (checksum). A complementary character set can be added if further data is required. The content of each digit shall be in accordance with Annex A or Annex B, as applicable. 4.1.4 Magnetic cards 4.1.4.1 General The system of data insertion by means of magnetic cards offers different possibilities for the fitting supplier, as well as for the user and control unit manufacturer. The fitting manufacturer records on the card the number of items of data necessary for the completion of an optimal fusion joint. In order to establish the fusion programme, he can choose between the functions described in Annex C, and adapt the data according to his wishes using nominal or real values. A fusion programme can contain up to 90 characters. The control unit manufacturer is completely free to develop his own software as well as the technological concept of the unit. He can choose, among others, the data appearing on the display, the different commands, the emergency stop of the fusion cycle, as well as the display and recording of the different faults, the fusion data storage mode, etc., unless these are already prescribed in other standards. With respect to the quality assurance of every fusion, a record containing all or part of the fusion process data can be stored either on the magnetic card or in the control box memory. When the fusion has been completed successfully and recorded on the magnetic card, the same magnetic card shall not be used again to carry out another fusion.
