Germany has the most restrictive rules in Europe regarding approval for petrol pipes, and a special rule on permeation which is different to the European standard. Only pipes with zero permeation are allowed to be used.
In practice, this has meant that only steel pipes have been approved until now, when the break-through has come for plastic pipes.
After several extensive tests of KPS conductive pipes, the company’s pipes have been approved for the German market.
The test institute has announced that the tests of our pipes gave a permeation result so low that it is to be considered equal to zero, says Mr Lars Selling, CEO of KPS. We are very proud that our pipes are the first of their kind to pass the very tough German demands on safety and environmental protection. It is the result of research, development and advanced manufacturing technology. We now look forward to be able to offer the German market a competitive alternative which is corrosion-free, conductive and very quick and easy to install.
The German approval is an acknowledgement of the quality of KPS products, and it also gives an important signal to other markets, like Austria, Switzerland and Luxemburg, countries that have similar rules and a strong tradition of using steel pipes.
