Go To FAQ#:

Question: For plastic transmission pipeline, must I meet all of the requirements in the sections specified in section 192.901 or just those requirements specifically directed at plastic pipe?

Answer: Section 192.901 states that of the requirements in subpart O only the requirements in sections 192.917, 192.921, 192.935 and 192.937 apply to plastic transmission pipeline. Each of these sections contains requirements specifically applicable to plastic pipelines.
