to 30 % of NH3 form explosive mixtures. Ammonia solution reacts with acids to form ammonium salts. It reacts with carbon dioxide, e.g. from air, to form carbonate. 4 Purity criteria 4.1 General This document specifies the minimum purity requirements for ammonia solution used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. NOTE
Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not stated in this product standard . Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials leads to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 4.2 Composition of commercial product The commercial product shall contain at least a mass fraction of 25 % of ammonia in water. The product shall contain the stated concentration of NH3 within ± 5 %. 4.3 Impurities and main by-products Due to the manufacturing process by-products are not relevant. The product shall conform to the requirements specified in table 1. SIST EN 12122:2005

4.4 Chemical parameters The product shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 2.
Table 2 – Chemical parameters
Parameter Limit mg/kg of commercial product Antimony (Sb) max. 1 Arsenic (As) max. 5 Cadmium (Cd) max. 0,5 Chromium (Cr) max. 5 Lead (Pb) max. 5 Mercury (Hg) max. 0,1 Nickel (Ni) max. 5 Selenium (Se) max. 2 NOTE : Pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and cyanides are not relevant in ammonia solution because the raw materials used in the manufacturing are free of them. For parametric values of ammonia solution on trace metal content in drinking water, see [1].
5 Test methods 5.1 Sampling Observe the general recommendations of ISO 3165 and take account of ISO 6206 and see [3]. SIST EN 12122:2005

b) take the sample required in a bottle fitted with an internal solid screw-stopper and rubber gasket. Tighten the stopper as soon as the sample is in the bottle.
5.1.2 Sampling from drums, carboys and bottles General : Do not use suction during the withdrawal of the sample, especially with concentrated solutions, since reduction of pressure readily depletes the solution of ammonia gas. 5.1.2.1 Drums SAFETY PRECAUTIONS : Do not use compressed air to discharge ammonia solution from drums. Sample from drums by pouring, by siphoning or by means of a polyethylene or polypropylene sampling 'thief'. If the sample is to be obtained from pouring, use a specially constructed elevated platform to hold the drum, and a screw-in pourer and funnel to facilitate transfer and reduce the risk from splashing. If the sample is to be obtained by siphoning, use a suitable siphon constructed from stainless steel, polyethylene, polypropylene or glass. Start the siphon by applying a slight air pressure to the drum, e.g. from a hand bellows or bulb, provided that the end of the delivery tube is below the level of liquid in the drum. If a polyethylene or polypropylene sampling 'thief' is used to draw the sample, use the procedure described in 5.1.1. 5.1.2.2 Carboys SAFETY PRECAUTIONS : Do not use compressed air to discharge ammonia solution from carboys. Sample from carboys by pouring, by siphoning, by the use of a polyethylene or polypropylene sampling 'thief'' or by the use of a hand-operated pump. If the sample is to be obtained by pouring, use a properly constructed carboy tilter.
