BRL K536-L published for comments

The new evaluation guideline BRL K536-L (Kiwa) for “Plastics piping systems with metal inner layer intended for transport of hot and cold drinking water inside buildings” has been published for comments.

Evaluation guideline changes

An evaluation guideline or ‘Beoordelingsrichtlijn’ (BRL) is a package of requirements that a product or service can meet to demonstrate a certain guarantee of quality and legality. Kiwa offers BRLs in various subject areas. The requirements in a BRL are drawn up by an independent Board of Experts. A product or service is assessed by Kiwa on the basis of those requirements. When we introduce a new BRL or when a BRL changes, we will publish these BRL's.
