Where this standard is used on NirmanDost

Listed by product makers

4 products in the NirmanDost catalogue name this standard on their spec sheets — Prince Greenfit Triple Layer PP-R Pipe PN-16 (small bore), Prince Greenfit Triple Layer PP-R Pipe PN-10 (large bore), Greenfit Thermex Plus. 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.
