Listed by product makers

5 products in the NirmanDost catalogue name this standard on their spec sheets — Astral Selfit uPVC SWR Pipe Type A (vent duty), Astral Selfit uPVC SWR Pipe Type B (soil & waste duty), Prince Ultrafit uPVC SWR Pipe Type A (vent duty). That is the maker’s own claim, copied as printed; we have not tested these products against the standard, and a spec sheet can cite the wrong code.
