EN 14812:2005+A1:2007 (E) 8 5 Performance requirements 5.1 Dosing and dosing agents 5.1.1 Dosing agents The purpose of the dosing agents shall be restricted to one or more of the following water treatment targets:  disinfection of the water;  inhibition of corrosion phenomena;  inhibition of scaling phenomena (by stabilisation of hardness). Dosing systems may be designed for dosing with one or more proprietary chemicals. The manufacturer shall define the proprietary chemicals and their water treatment target depending on the composition of the water and the installation components to be protected. Each proprietary chemical shall be tested separately. Proprietary chemicals shall meet the quality requirements of the relevant European Standard for chemicals used for conditioning of water intended for human consumption. 5.1.2 Dosing The choice of the dosing method shall be at the manufacturer's discretion. NOTE For devices dosing proprietary chemicals supplied in liquid form, the dosing characteristics can be tested with a test solution. The dosed quantity of each proprietary chemical and the dosing agents concentrations in the treated water can then be calculated, provided that viscosity as well as density does not differ from those of the test solution and release of gas does not occur. The concentration of dosing agent in the conditioned water shall neither be lower than 20 % nor higher than 100 % of the maximum concentration defined by the manufacturer for each single type of proprietary chemical. No individual value shall be lower than 16 % or higher than 120 % of this maximum concentration. Measures shall be taken to ensure that the above defined concentration in the conditioned water is not exceeded even after periods of downtime, pressure fluctuation or after failure of the electric power supply. During continuous operation as specified in 6.2.7.1 and during intermittent operation as specified in 6.2.7.2, the dosing apparatus shall meet the above mentioned requirements at the lower and upper working limits of the working range as well as at 50 % and 120 % of the upper working limit. These requirements shall apply to each pre-set dosing rate that can be selected on site. 5.2 Working ranges The lower working limit of the working range shall not exceed the values given in Table 2. Table 2 — Working ranges Working limit Working ranges m³/h Upper limit of working range ≤ 10 > 10 ≤ 20 > 20 Maximum lower limit of working range 0,06 0,15 0,25



EN 14812:2005+A1:2007 (E) 9 5.3 Protection against backflow of proprietary chemical Dosing systems shall be designed so that overdosing due to suction of the proprietary chemical into the drinking water supply cannot occur under any operation condition without external backflow protection. 5.4 Working temperature range The manufacturer shall specify the minimum and maximum working temperatures between which the dosing apparatus including accessories and fittings will operate correctly. The maximum temperature shall be at least 30 °C for the water and the ambient air. NOTE Usually the working temperature range is not to be verified. If there is any concern, the dosing according to 6.2.7.1 should be performed additionally with the test solution at the specified maximum temperature. 5.5 Pressure conditions 5.5.1 Nominal pressure and working pressure range The manufacturer shall specify the minimum and maximum working pressures between which the dosing apparatus including accessories and fittings will operate correctly at the maximum permissible water and room temperatures. The maximum working pressure for normal operating conditions indicated by the manufacturer shall be at least 0,6 MPa at the maximum water and room temperatures. The nominal pressure shall be at least 1 MPa. Testing shall be carried out in accordance with 6.5.1 to 6.5.4. 5.5.2 Effects of pressure variations Pressure variations of ± 0,2 MPa shall not impair the function and the accuracy of dosing apparatus. 5.5.3 Pressure drop When tested in accordance with 6.5.5, the pressure drop shall not exceed 0,08 MPa over the entire working range. 5.5.4 Water hammer When tested in accordance with EN 60730-2-8:2002, Annex EE, the dosing systems shall not cause water hammer which endangers the safety of the installation. 6 Testing 6.1 General Unless otherwise specified any tolerances shall be ± 5 %. Unless otherwise stated, tests shall be carried out at ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C with water of between 10 °C and 30 °C.

EN 14812:2005+A1:2007 (E) 11 6.2.2 Analysis The dosing characteristic of the dosing apparatus to be tested shall be determined using a continuously measurement and recording equipment (see Figure 1, items 18, 20 and 21), e.g. electrode determining the sodium concentration difference between the feed water and the treated water for the test solution according to a difference-sodium (sodium + potassium) determination. For the analytical data to be determined discontinuously, use the water analysis method as specified in EN ISO 11885, EN ISO 10304-1 to EN ISO 10304-4. 6.2.3 Quality of test water The composition of the test water shall be within the field of application specified by the manufacturer for the dosing apparatus concerned and the associated dosing agent. 6.2.4 Sampling Samples for continuous measurement shall be taken at the points of collection (see Figure 1, item 18) in accordance with requirements specified for the method of measurement applied. Samples for discontinuous measurement shall be taken at the ball valve (see Figure 1, item 12) and fed into the collection vessels via a hose. For discontinuous measurement, the volume of the individual samples, in litres, shall correspond to the upper working limit in cubic meters per hour. In the case of dosing apparatus with an upper working limit greater than 10 m³/h, the volume of the individual sample shall be 10 l. 6.2.5 Evaluation of results If the recorded concentrations of the dosing agent suggest that the dosing system will not function within its given working range, i.e. exceeding the limits, then the test shall be repeated with samples being taken discontinuously measurement at the time intervals recorded on the chart at upper or lower concentration. 6.2.6 Dosing agents Check the compliance of the dosing agent with the requirements of 5.1.1. To test the dosing volume per charge and to determine the dosing characteristic when other dosing agents are used, analyse the chemicals for their dosing agent concentrations. 6.2.7 Dosing 6.2.7.1 Continuous operation The first test shall be carried out at the lower limit of working range. Starting from zero, increase the water flow rate slowly so that the continuous measurement of the chemical concentration permits the detection of possible overdosing as well as the lower limit of working range specific to the apparatus. Then adjust the flow rate in the following sequence: specified upper working limit - specified lower working limit – 120 % and 50 % of the upper working limit. Within 5 min of adjustment to the relevant flow rate, take a sample as specified in 6.2.4 for analysis. After sampling, maintain the continuous measurement in each case at the adjusted flow rate for a further 5 min. 6.2.7.2 Intermittent operation Operate the dosing apparatus for 10 min at 10 % of its specified upper working limit which is adjusted by regulating valve (see Figure 1, item 11) with the ball valve (see Figure 1, item 12) fully open. Operate the ball valve to decrease the pressure from 0,4 MPa to 0,2 MPa and hold for 5 min and then raise it again. Repeat this twice. Then raise the pressure from 0,4 MPa to 0,6 MPa and hold for 5 min and then drop it to 0,4 MPa again. Repeat this once. Follow this by a shut-off period. After the shut-off period as specified in Table 3 start the operation of the dosing apparatus by completely opening the ball valve.



EN 14812:2005+A1:2007 (E) 12 Without interruption take five samples from the stream of water having volumes as specified in 6.2.4. Continue measurement for further 30 min under the same operating conditions. Evaluate the results as specified in 6.2.5. Table 3 — Shut-off periods Upper working limit m³/h Shutoff period h ≤ 3 8 > 3 to ≤ 5 6 > 5 4
6.2.7.3 Overdosing in case of electrical power failure By reference to the manufacturer's technical documentation, check whether a mains failure can result in overdosing. In case of doubt, disconnect the power supply and repeat 6.2.7.2. 6.2.7.4 Maximum concentrations Check whether the concentrations in the treated water meet the requirements of 5.1.2. 6.3 Working ranges Check whether the requirement of 5.2 is fulfilled. 6.4 Protection against backflow of dosing agent 6.4.1 Procedure Fill the open storage container (see Figure 1, item 6) with 6 l of water through a separate pipe and then close all the valves. After a shut-off period as specified in Table 3, generate an absolute pressure of 0,02 MPa in the vacuum container (see Figure 1, item 7) and open the valve (see Figure 1, item 14) above the vacuum container. After a further 10 min, open the valve (see Figure 1, item 15) below the open storage container and the valves on the flow rate measuring instruments (see Figure 1, item 10). 6.4.2 Evaluation of results
