Overview
EN 13194:2015 (CEN) is the European standard for acetic acid when used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Approved December 2014 and published March 2015, the standard defines the identity, physical and chemical properties, purity criteria, test methods, sampling procedures, labelling, transportation and storage guidance for acetic acid products used in drinking‑water treatment. It also contains informative annexes on usage (function, dosing, application) and safety (first aid, spillage, fire measures).
Key identification details included:
- Chemical name: acetic acid (ethanoic acid), synonym glacial acetic acid
- Formula: CH3COOH; relative molecular mass 60.05
- CAS 64-19-7; EINECS 200-580-7
- Physical properties: miscible in water; boiling point ~118 °C; melting point 16.2 °C; vapour pressure ~1.57 kPa (20 °C); density ranges for commercial concentrations (e.g., 99.85% ≈ 1.049–1.050 g/ml).
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and description: identification, commercial form and physical/chemical properties of acetic acid.
- Purity criteria: minimum mass fraction of acetic acid in the commercial product is 80% (commercial products may contain up to ~20% water). Limits are specified for common impurities and by‑products (for example, formic acid ≤ 500 mg/kg of pure acetic acid); the full table of impurity limits and chemical parameters is given in the standard.
- Test methods and sampling: prescribes sampling rules for drums, bottles, tanks and tankers and references analytical methods for the main product and impurities.
- Labelling and transportation: updates to risk and safety labelling in line with current EU regulations and guidance on transport labelling and marking.
- Storage and safety: provisions for safe handling, storage incompatibilities, long‑term stability, and emergency procedures (first aid, spillage, fire).
Applications and Users
EN 13194:2015 is intended for organizations and professionals involved with drinking water treatment and chemical supply, including:
- Water utilities and treatment plant operators
- Chemical manufacturers and suppliers of acetic acid for potable water use
- Analytical laboratories performing quality control and compliance testing
- Procurement teams specifying product quality for water treatment
- Regulators and consultants assessing suitability of chemicals for human consumption water systems
The standard supports safe, consistent use of acetic acid by defining quality, testing and labelling expectations relevant to dosing, application methods and product handling.
Related Standards
EN 13194 references and works alongside other standards for sampling and analysis, for example:
- EN 1233, EN ISO 3696, EN ISO 12846
- ISO 17378‑1, ISO 3165, ISO 6206, ISO 8288, ISO 9965
Compliance with EN 13194:2015 helps ensure that acetic acid used in drinking‑water treatment meets defined purity and safety criteria and that appropriate testing and documentation are in place.
