Bibliography

Defines the colours and supplementary information for the identification of pipes conveying fluids in above ground and below ground installations.

This British Standard specifies the colours and supplementary information for the identification of pipes conveying fluids in above ground and below ground installations. It also includes ducts for ventilation and conduits used for carrying electrical services. The following two methods of identification are included: basic identification colours only; and basic identification colours and code indications and/or code colours. NOTE1 Examples of identification by basic colour and code indications are illustrated in Annex A. NOTE2 The marking and labelling requirements identified in this British Standard are the preferred methods where there is no British Standard that covers a specific pipe or pipeline sector. This British Standard does not include identification of fluid services on ships. NOTE3 For piping systems on ships and marine technology applications, see BSISO14726.
