The European standards for drinking water (EN1452) or on sewage pipes (EN1401) require a high impact resistance on PVC pipes at 0°C. This requirement allows a safe handling and installation at temperatures a few degrees below 0°C. These pipes are intended to be buried and to convey water, so service temperatures far below 0°C are not relevant.
