Abstract: Early in 1984, the natural gas industry was confronted with some concern on certification of plastic products and whether there was a need for third-party certification. A few thought it might be necessary, but the majority thought there were enough standards, policies, and procedures in place to ensure the supply of good products. The real questions were: What is in place? How are they being used? Do they provide the assurance the industry thinks they do? To this end a Task Group of the American Gas Association Plastic Materials Committee was formed whose objective was to collect and categorize test methods used for evaluation of new plastic system components. The scope of this group was to conduct and issue a report on a survey of A.G.A. Plastic Materials Committee membership concerning test methods used, including those covered by ASTM Standards, other standards, or individual company procedures. The report would not contain any comments on, or evaluation of, information received. The task group, known as 83-4 Survey of Test Procedures, was formed with Mr. James DeVore of San Diego Gas and Electric as Chairman, but no workers were appointed to the task group. Mr. DeVore decided he would communicate his need for knowledge from the industry by circulating a survey questionnaire to all Plastic Committee Members.
