This BS EN 16000 specifies the mounting and fixing of components in the test apparatus to thermal attack by a single burning item (SBI) according to EN 13823.
This document is applicable to non-pressure plastics pipes, fittings and their joints intended for soil and waste applications:
— inside the building (application area code “B”);
— buried in ground within the building structure (application area code “80”) and with a diameter greater than or equal to 75 mm.
It is also applicable to pressure plastics pipes, fittings and their joints within the building structure:
— intended for water for general purposes, drainage, sewerage, as well as for any other pressure application with other fluids covered by the Construction Products Directive;

3 Mounting and fixing of components
Mounting and fixing of components in the test apparatus according to EN 13823:2002 shall conform to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
If no pipes are available, testing of fittings may be done in form of a linear assembly, e.g. couplers.
NOTE In case where e.g. the given dimensions do not exist the cho,ce of dlmenskms and the mounting and fixing shou’d be agreed between the manufacturer and the laboratory.BS EN 16000-2010 pdf download.
