To guarantee a high quality level of polyethylene products (pipes, fittings, valves) for gas distribution and to reduce the costs, MARCOGAZ has issued, on a voluntary basis, a guidance describing a minimum quality plan based on the conformity of these products to EN 1555 requirements.

Acceptance of test results performed by laboratories listed in the guidance will help the gas distribution system operators and manufacturers of polyethylene compounds and products to optimise the related costs. This quality plan is being implemented from early 2006.
