Overview

EN 1019:2005 (CEN) specifies the requirements and test methods for sulfur dioxide (SO2) used in the treatment of water intended for human consumption. This European Standard covers identification, commercial form, physical/chemical properties, purity criteria, sampling and analytical methods, and rules for labelling, transportation and storage. EN 1019:2005 supersedes EN 1019:1995 and is intended for use across CEN member countries.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Identification & form: Sulfur dioxide (CAS 7446-09-5, formula SO2) is supplied as a liquefied gas; at ambient conditions it is a colorless gas with a pungent odor.
  • Physical/chemical data: Document lists key properties (liquid density ~1.4 g/ml at 10 °C, solubility ~110 g/L at 20 °C, boiling point ≈ −9.4 °C, pH of aqueous solution ≈ 1.5).
  • Purity criteria: Commercial SO2 for drinking-water treatment must contain ≥ 99.9% SO2. Specified impurity limits include water ≤ 0.01% and sulfuric acid ≤ 0.005% (mass fraction relative to SO2). Manufacturers must notify users of other significant impurities or additives.
  • Test methods and sampling:
    • Sampling guidance references ISO 3165 and ISO 6206; sampling must be performed by experts due to hazard risk.
    • Water content by Karl Fischer titration (ISO 760).
    • Sulfuric acid determined by evaporation under dry nitrogen and titration with NaOH (use of bromocresol green indicator).
  • Safety, labelling & transport:
    • Classified as toxic/irritant (labels per EU directives; R23, R36/37; S7/9, S44).
    • Transport: UN 1079, RID/ADR class 2 (classification code 2TC); IMDG/IATA: poison gas.
    • Storage: pressured mild-steel containers in cool, ventilated areas; do not reuse containers without cleaning.

Applications and users

  • Primary use: dechlorination and removal of excess oxidants (chlorine, ozone) in drinking-water treatment - stoichiometry example: 0.9 g SO2 removes 1.0 g residual chlorine.
  • Who uses EN 1019:2005:
    • Water utilities and treatment plant operators
    • Chemical manufacturers and suppliers of SO2
    • Analytical laboratories performing quality control (Karl Fischer, titration)
    • Safety officers, transporters, and emergency responders
    • Regulators assessing conformity for drinking-water use

Related standards

  • EN ISO 3696 (water for analytical laboratory use)
  • ISO 760 (Karl Fischer)
  • ISO 3165, ISO 6206 (sampling)
  • EU directives: 98/83/EC (water quality), 67/548/EEC (classification/labeling)
  • CESAS recommendations (safe handling of liquid SO2)

This standard is essential for ensuring safe, effective and compliant use of sulfur dioxide in drinking-water treatment, covering purity, testing and risk management.
