Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption - Silver salts for intermittent use
This European Standard is applicable to silver nitrate and silver sulfate and silver chloride for the preservation of water intended for human consumption in intermittent applications in:
- water supply plants, including their pipeline networks (small-size plants);
- water for the preparation of foodstuffs;
- water which is stored in packaged form or kept in enclosed systems (for example, water supply systems in land, water and airborne vehicles).
The purpose of adding silver salts is to prevent the detrimental proliferation of microorganisms in water during storage or in enclosed supply systems.
This European Standard describes the characteristics of silver salts, specifies the requirements for silver salts and gives reference to the analytical methods. It gives information on their use in water treatment. It also determines the rules relating to safe handling and use of silver salts (see Annex B).
Produkte zur Aufbereitung von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch - Silbersalze für den nicht systematischen Gebrauch
Dieses Dokument gilt für Silbernitrat, Silbersulfat und Silberchlorid zur Konservierung von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch bei nicht systematischen Anwendungen:
- in Wasserversorgungsanlagen einschließlich deren Leitungsnetzen (Kleinanlagen);
- für die Konservierung von Wasser für die Lebensmittelzubereitung;
- für die Konservierung von sonstigem Wasser, das in abgepackter Form gelagert wird oder in geschlossenen Systemen (wie z. B. Wasserversorgungssysteme von Land , Wasser und Luftfahrzeugen) geführt wird.
Durch den Zusatz von Silbersalzen soll eine nachteilige Vermehrung von Mikroorganismen im Wasser während der Lagerung bzw. innerhalb der geschlossenen Versorgungssysteme verhindert werden.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Eigenschaften von Silbersalzen, legt die Anforderungen an Silbersalze fest und verweist auf die entsprechenden Analysenverfahren. Es enthält Angaben zu deren Anwendung in der Wasseraufbereitung. Es legt darüber hinaus Regeln für die sichere Handhabung und Verwendung von Silbersalzen fest (siehe Anhang B).

Le présent document est applicable au nitrate d'argent, au sulfate d'argent et au chlorure d'argent pour la conservation de l'eau destinée à la consommation humaine pour usage intermittent dans :
- les usines d'alimentation en eau, y compris leur réseau de canalisation (usines de petite taille) ;
- l'eau destinée à la préparation des denrées alimentaires ;
- l'eau stockée sous emballage ou conservée en circuit fermé (exemple, les systèmes de distribution d'eau dans les véhicules terrestres, nautiques et aériens).
L'ajout des sels d'argent a pour but d'empêcher la prolifération préjudiciable de micro-organismes dans l'eau pendant le stockage ou dans les circuits de distribution fermés.
Le présent document décrit les caractéristiques des sels d'argent et en spécifie les exigences ainsi que les méthodes d'analyse correspondantes. Il donne des informations pour leur emploi dans le traitement de l’eau. Il fixe également les règles relatives à la sécurité de manipulation et d’utilisation des sels d’argent (voir Annexe B).
