Water conditioning equipment inside buildings - Membrane separation devices - Requirements for performance, safety and testing
This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the construction, performance and methods of testing for membrane separation systems with a particle rating below 1 ?m, namely microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) for drinking water installations inside buildings, intended to remove from the drinking water marginal concentrations of suspended and colloidal solids, microorganisms, organic molecules and/or to reduce the dissolved solids concentration and applies to systems with a minimum pressure of PN 10, connections between DN 15 and DN 100 and a maximum working temperature of at least 30 °C.
This European Standard applies to membrane separation systems, whose elements may be partly or entirely cleanable or disposable in accordance with the type of system. It only concerns units which are permanently connected to the mains supply at the point-of-entry or the point-of-use.
A membrane separation system may include, together with the separation device pre- and /or post-treatment devices.
For the scope of this European Standard:
- separation device shall comply with this European Standard, i.e. without pre-and/or post-treatments;
- where pre-and/or post-treatment devices are incorporated in the system, each of them shall conform to the relevant standard. If this is the case, the complete system shall be considered as conforming as a whole.

A device exclusively assembled with components complying with above relevant European Standard does not require further testing related to materials in contact with drinking water unless differently stated by national regulations. On the contrary (one or more components not specifically tested), the complete device will be tested in its final arrangement in accordance with the relevant test method unless differently stated by national regulations. NOTE Products intended for use in water supply systems should comply, when existing, with national regulations and testing arrangements that ensure fitness for contact with drinking water. The Member states relevant regulators and the EC Commission agreed on the principles of 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 Product Standards 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. 6.3 Resistance to temperature Within the service temperature range indicated by the manufacturer, the device shall not have any operating problems due to temperature exposure. Independently from above temperature range, the device should withstand a water temperature between 5 °C and 30 °C and between 5 °C and 35 °C for ambient air. 6.4 Resistance to hydrostatic pressure The device shall resist, without damage and leakage, a hydrostatic pressure equalling 3 times the design nominal pressure, with a minimum of 1 MPa or 1,6 MPa if connected with a pressure regulating valve, when tested as defined in A.2.1. !NOTE 1 bar = 100 kPa = 0,1 MPa." 6.5 Resistance to cyclic pressure The device shall withstand a cyclic pressure fluctuating between 150 kPa and 1,3 times the design nominal pressure, with a minimum of a 1 MPa, when tested as defined in A.2.2. 6.6 Backflow prevention The device shall include an upstream backflow preventer in accordance with EN 1717. 6.7 Electrical safety The device shall comply with the relevant safety regulations.

The device shall be designed, and suitable instructions shall be provided, such that contamination of the treated water supply is avoided during the component replacement procedure. 6.13 Back-washable modules (MF and UF) Back-washable modules shall be capable of being cleaned automatically without the aid of tools and the mechanism shall not compromise to the quality of the drinking water. After back-washing, the module performance shall be recovered. The back-washable module shall be fitted with a free drain outlet in accordance with EN 1717. 7 Performance requirements 7.1 General The membrane module performance shall be specified by the manufacturer.
