Whichever one you are using for the design. There are many to choose from. 1.25 times design pressure or PN rating is a good stay point

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Testing PE pipe is more than just stating a test pressure.

Unlike steel pipe you have consider pressure rebound.
