UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes for soil and waste discharge are known for their recyclable material that provides resistance to rust, corrosion, and chemical deterioration. The advantages of UPVC pipes, including durability, chemical resistance, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness, make them highly in demand. Their efficiency is evaluated according to the specific needs of the plumbing application, taking into account factors such as temperature, pressure, and waste composition.

To ensure the product quality of upvc pipes for soil & waste discharge system, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to undergo BIS registration and obtain the BIS ISI mark before selling it in the market. Manufacturers can use the ISI Mark on their products only after obtaining a license from BIS that is granted after BIS registration. The presence of the ISI mark on a product indicates that it complies with BIS's stringent quality standards.

PVC-U pipes for soil and waste discharge system for inside and outside the building, including ventilation and rainwater system is covered under IS 13592:2013. The Bureau of Indian Standards adopted this Indian Standard after the Civil Engineering Division Council approved the draft finalized by the Plastic Piping Systems Sectional Committee.
