The document compares standards BS 864 Part 2: 1983 and EN 1254 for copper tubes and fittings. Both standards specify maximum working pressures of 10-16 bar depending on temperature, and require copper material to meet BS or EN standards. BS 864 additionally specifies standards for solder and requires capillary fittings to pass plug gauge, hydraulic, and porosity tests.
