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 the product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemicals 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 lead(s) to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user.

Otherwise, proceed as described in 5.1.2.1.3. 5.1.2.1.3 Examine the surface of the liquid. If there are signs of surface contamination, take samples from the surface as described in 5.1.2.2 ; otherwise, take samples as described in 5.1.2.3. SIST EN 13176:2008



EN 13176:2008 (E) 9 5.1.2.2 Surface sampling Take a sample using a suitable ladle. Lower the ladle into the liquid until the rim is just below the surface, so that the surface layer runs into it. Withdraw the ladle just before it fills completely and allow any liquid adhering to the ladle to drain off. If necessary, repeat this operation so that, when the other selected containers have been sampled in a similar manner, the total volume of sample required for subsequent analysis is obtained. 5.1.2.3 Bottom sampling Take a sample using an open sampling tube, or a bottom-valve sampling tube, suited to the size of container and the viscosity of the liquid. When using an open sampling tube, close it at the top and then lower the bottom end to the bottom of the container. Open the tube and move it rapidly so that the bottom of the tube traverses the bottom of the container before the tube is filled. Close the tube, withdraw it from the container and allow any liquid adhering to the outside of the tube to drain off. When using a bottom-valve sampling tube, close the valve before lowering the tube into the container and then proceed in a similar manner to that when using an open sampling tube. 5.1.3 Sampling from tanks and tankers From each access point, take samples as follows: a) from the surface of the liquid, using a ladle as described in 5.1.2.2; b) from the bottom of the tank or tanker, using a sampling tube as described in 5.1.2.3 or using a specially designed bottom-sampling apparatus; c) from one or more positions, depending on the overall depth, between the bottom and the surface using a weighted sampling can. 5.2 Analysis 5.2.1 Ethanol (main product) 5.2.1.1 Principle The ethanol content is determined by measuring the density using a digital density meter. The measuring principle of the digital density meter is based on the change of the frequency of a hollow oscillator when filled with different liquids. The mass, and thus the density of the liquid, changes this frequency due to a gross mass change of the oscillator caused by the introduction of the liquid. The oscillator consists of a hollow elastic glass tube which is electronically excited in an undamped harmonic fashion. The density meter gives a direct read-out of the density res
