The document specifies, dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for expansion groups, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 25, having working pressures ) from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar).
Expansion groups shall be fitted to the cold potable water supply only for expansion purposes, e.g. of storage water heaters, having a maximum distribution temperature of 95 °C.
Expansion groups limit pressure in the water heater to which they are fitted, that is produced by thermal expansion of the water, prevent the backflow of water into the supply pipe and prevent the discharged water to get into contact with the water in the water heater.
Expansion groups do not control temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage water heaters.
NOTE   The use of the device specified in this Standard does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and thermal cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters.

This document specifies a method for the determination of free chlorine and total chlorine in water,
readily applicable to lab- and field-testing. It is based on measurement of the absorption, the red DPD
colour complex in a photometer or the colour intensity by visual comparison of the colour with a scale
of standards that is regularly calibrated.
This method is appropriate for drinking water and other waters, where additional halogens like
bromine, iodine and other oxidizing agents are present in almost negligible amounts. Seawater and
waters containing bromides and iodides comprise a group for which special procedures are to be
carried out.
This method is in practice applicable to concentrations, in terms of chlorine (Cl2), from, for example,
0,000 4 mmol/l to 0,07 mmol/l (e.g. 0,03 mg/l to 5 mg/l) total chlorine. For higher concentrations, the
test portion is diluted.
Commonly, the method is applied as a field method with mobile photometers and commercially available
ready-for-use reagents (liquid reagents, powders and tablets). It is essential that those reagents comply
with minimum requirements and contain the essential reagents and a buffer system suitable to adjust
the measurement solution to a pH range of typically 6,2 to 6,5. If there is doubt that water samples
have uncommon pH values and/or buffer capacities, the user has to check and, if necessary, to adjust
the sample pH to the required range. The pH of the sample is within the range of pH 4 and 8. Adjust, if
necessary, with sodium hydroxide solution or sulfuric acid before the test.
A procedure for the differentiation of combined chlorine of the monochloramine type, combined
chlorine of the dichloramine type and combined chlorine in the form of nitrogen trichloride is
presented in Annex A. In Annex C, a procedure is presented for the determination of free and total
chlorine in drinking and other low polluted waters, for disposable planar reagent-filled cuvettes using a
mesofluidic channel pump/colorimeter.

characterization means the study of parameters that can be measured to describe how the method is
likely to perform in a given set of conditions, which can be described as performance characteristics.
The document describes procedures for the determination of performance characteristics which can be
used for subsequent validation or verification of methods.
The emphasis is on selective quantitative methods and this document applies to all types of water. For
methods that are not based upon direct microscopic count, colony count or most probable number, the

The test can be used for three purposes: a) assess a material as a reference material for a category of materials using the results of several investigations in different waters covering a broad range of water compositions; b) assess a material for approval by way of comparative testing; c) obtain data on the interaction of local water with a material.

This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the construction and mode of operation and relevant methods for testing automatic, salt-regenerated, anion exchange nitrate removal devices for drinking water installations inside buildings, which are permanently connected to the mains supply.
NOTE   Products intended for use in water supply systems are to comply, when existing, with national regulations and testing arrangements that ensure fitness for contact with drinking water. The Member State’s relevant regulators and the EC Commission agreed on the principle for a future unique European Acceptance Scheme (EAS) which would provide a common testing and approval arrangement at European level.
If and when the EAS is adopted, European Standards on products will be amended by the addition of an Annex Z/EAS under Mandate M/136, which will contain formal references to the testing, certification and product marking requirements of the EAS. Until the EAS comes into force, the current national regulations remain applicable.

This document specifies, dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for expansion groups, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 25, having working pressures  from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar).
Expansion groups are fitted to the cold potable water supply only for expansion purposes, e.g. of storage water heaters, having a maximum distribution temperature of 95 °C.
Expansion groups limit pressure in the water heater to which they are fitted, that is produced by thermal expansion of the water, prevent the backflow of water into the supply pipe and prevent the discharged water to get into contact with the water in the water heater.
Expansion groups do not control temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage water heaters.
NOTE   The use of the device specified in this document does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and thermal cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters (for more information see Annex A).
