• Check supplied quantity.
• Check nominal dimensions of supplied material
• Check supplied pressures class Photo 6. Typical work of a GRE pipe fitter
• Perform a visual control of supplied material (transport
damage, impact) Training of pipe fitter
• Check if storage is correct • The quality of the joints is mainly dependent on craftsman-
• Check availability of documentation (packing lists, ship of the pipe fitter. Therefore, the ISO 14692 demands
certification) that the qualification organization is independent of the

Installation
General requirements are given in the ISO 14692 for the
installation of GRP/GRE components such as bending,
bolt-torquing, tolerances, earthing of conductive piping, joint
selection, quality control, etc.
Most important point is that all piping shall be installed so that
they are stress-free.
7. Conclusion
ISO 14692 is a worldwide accepted standard for the
manufacturing, qualification, design and installation of
Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy piping systems.
When the guidelines laid down in the ISO 14692 standard are
followed, it will result in a trouble-free GRE pipe system.
8. ISO in brief
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a global ISO – a non-governmental organization, is a federation of
network that identifies what International Standards are national standards, bodies of over 149 countries, one per
required by business, government and society, develops them country, from all regions of the world, including developed,
in partnership with the sectors, that will put them in use, developing and transitional economies.
adopts them by transparent procedures based on national
input and delivers them to be implemented worldwide.
