The performance is evaluated with a type test for which the manufacturer shall provide information in accordance with Annex D. 4.6 Labelling The information to be given on a nameplate, which shall be permanently fixed to the UV device and be legible when installed, shall be in accordance with Annex E.
EN 14897:2006+A1:2007 (E) 9 4.7 Manual The manual shall describe operation, control, cleaning and service measures. The manual shall also contain at least the following information:
operating diagram: transmittance vs. maximum admissible flow; water resulting from sampling (rinsing) shall be adequately disposed of to the provisions of EN 1717; replacement intervals for UV lamp(s), sensor (only for UV disinfection devices). 5 Testing 5.1 General The manufacturer shall provide the details and documentation described in Annex D. The device to be tested is checked for conformity to the documentation. The purpose of the type test is to verify that the UV fluence delivered by the device under test meets a reduction equivalent fluence of 400 J/m2 at the end of the lamp life, at the specified flow rates and transmittance values.
Parameters to be changed during the test are the flow rate of the water and the UV transmittance of the water for the test of UV bactericidal treatment devices and the flow rate, the transmittance and the lamp-output, for the test of UV disinfection devices. For the type test of UV disinfection devices the UV device shall be equipped with a sensor or with a specified monitoring window and a specified sensor if national regulation for these apply. The testing in the test rig comprises of five steps: checking the compliance of the device to be tested with the specifications; data collection during the test (flow rate, water temperature, electrical power consumption, .); radiation physics tests, i.e. determination of the irradiance (only for UV disinfection devices); microbiological test with the biodosimeter; evaluation of the UV device and specification of the operating range. The manufacturer shall provide data (flow rate versus UV transmittance), that give the testing points at which the UV fluence (400 J/m2) is reached at the end of the lamp service time and the percentage of UV output at the end of lamp service life (e.g. 70 %). The permissible operational range is determined by measurements of at least three test points which should cover the whole operational range.
The UV device to be tested shall have new lamps that have been in service for 100 h. The manufacturer shall provide an appropriate method to vary the output of the UV lamps.
EN 14897:2006+A1:2007 (E) 10 5.2 Test rig and installation The test rig (see Figure 1) consists of a water supply with test water, wastewater removal, electrical equipment (voltage regulator), dosing device for the biodosimeter and the transmittance reducing solution, and static mixers. The UV device is installed in the test rig and put into operation as specified by manufacturer or supplier. The UV device shall be attached to the water supply with respect to the length, configuration and nominal diameter of the inlet and outlet pipe defined by the manufacturer for the UV device. The test water shall have a UV transmittance of at least 80 % to allow the regulation of the test conditions. Calibrated registering measuring instrumentation for flow rate, pressure, water temperature, UV transmittance and electrical parameters (current voltage) are required.

Optimum mixing is achieved by the static mixer (concentration of the biodosimeter after mixing about 106l-1
to 107 l-1). Take the samples after UV irradiation and also after a static mixer. During the test, there shall be continuous flow through the sampling ports. For each test point and measuring cycle, five samples shall be taken before and after UV irradiation respectively. The determination of the concentration of the biodosimeter as number of colony forming units (CFU) is done in triplicate using a decimal dilution series. Use the pour plate method with plate count agar. Incubate for (48 ± 4) h at (37 ± 1) °C. Use three agar plates (diameter 90 mm) of the dilution step that results in 20 to 200 colonies per plate. The arithmetric average of the three counts is multiplied by the dilution factor and converted into the decadic logarithm. This results in five lg-concentration before and five lg-concentration after UV irradiation, of which the arithmetric average is calculated (lg N0: before irradiation, lg N1: after irradiation). The standard deviation s of the five parallel samples shall not exceed ± 0,2. Otherwise the test conditions are not stable (hydraulics, dosing, mixing). By calculating lg(N/N0), the reduction at the test point is determined. In
EN 14897:2006+A1:2007 (E) 11 Table 2 an example for the calculation is given. !The conversion of the reduction to the reduction equivalent fluence is obtained using Equation B.2."

5.4 Performance test procedure 5.4.1 UV disinfection devices Install the UV device in the test rig. Let water flow through the UV device at the lowest flow rate to be tested for 10 min before turning on the lamps of the UV disinfection device. Turn on the UV lamp(s) and do not proceed until a stable irradiance reading is achieved.
In the first part of the test, the transmittance of the test water is varied within the operational range specified by the manufacturer that corresponds to the flow rates. The relationship of the UV transmittance of water and the irradiance measured by the sensor shall be determined. The output of the lamps is reduced by a method specified by the manufacturer, so that it is decreased to the value at the end of the lamp service time (e.g. by 30 %). The transmittance variation is done twice with three values at least. Using these six values, a graph is established as shown below.

The single steps to establish the transmittance-irradiance dependency are: UV transmittance of the test water is adjusted with a transmittance reducing substance [e.g. sodium thiosulfate solution (Na2S2O3)]. Adjust the UV transmittance that appertains to the highest flow rate to be tested and measure the irradiance E1. Adjust the UV transmittance that appertains to the medium flow rate to be tested and measure the irradiance E2. Adjust the UV transmittance that appertains to the lowest flow rate to be tested and measure the irradiance E3.
EN 14897:2006+A1:2007 (E) 13 The water flow rate may be kept low for these measurements (e.g. lowest flow rate to be tested), as the flow rate does not influence the measurement results. Biodosimetric measurements The UV device under test is then challenged with the biodosimeter in the test rig varying the flow rates and the irradiances first at full output of the lamp(s) and reduced UV transmittance of the test water, and second at reduced output of the lamp(s) and test water with high UV transmittance.
All measurements are repeated once with at least three test points each, divided by a shut-off of the device (shut-off of the lamp and cut-off of the water flow for 15 min). Adjust the following test points by varying the transmittance, add biodosimeter, take samples and evaluate as described above: test point 1: highest flow rate to be tested, full lamp output, adjustment of the irradiance E1 by reduction of the UV transmittance. test point 2: medium flow rate to be tested, full lamp output, adjustment of the irradiance E2 by reduction of the UV transmittance. test point 3: lowest flow rate to be tested full lamp output, adjustment of the irradiance E3 by reduction of the UV transmittance. The following test points shall be adjusted by using test water with a UV transmittance of
