Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption - Silver salts for intermittent use

This European Standard is applicable to silver nitrate and silver sulfate for the preservation of water intended for human consumption in intermittent applications in water supply plants, including their pipeline networks (small-size plants); water for the preparation of foodstuffs; and other water which is stored in packaged form or kept in enclosed systems (for example, water supply systems in land-, water- and airborne vehicles).
The purpose of adding silver salts is to prevent the detrimental proliferation of micro-organisms in water during storage or in enclosed supply systems.
This European Standard describes the characteristics of silver salts and specifies the requirements for silver salts and gives reference to the analytical methods. It gives information on their use in water treatment. It also determines the rules relating to safe handling and use of silver salts (see Annex B).

Produkte zur Aufbereitung von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch - Silbersalze für den nicht systematischen Gebrauch

Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Silbernitrat und Silbersulfat zur Konservierung von Wasser für den
menschlichen Gebrauch bei nicht systematischen Anwendungen in Wasserversorgungsanlagen einschließlich
deren Leitungsnetzen (Kleinanlagen); sie gilt weiterhin für die Konservierung von Wasser für die
Lebensmittelzubereitung sowie von sonstigem Wasser, das in abgepackter Form gelagert wird oder in
geschlossenen Systemen (wie z. B. Wasserversorgungssysteme von Land-, Wasser- und Luftfahrzeugen)
geführt wird.
Durch den Zusatz von Silbersalz soll eine nachteilige Vermehrung von Mikroorganismen im Wasser während
der Lagerung bzw. innerhalb der geschlossenen Versorgungssysteme verhindert werden.
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt die Eigenschaften von Silbersalzen, legt die Anforderungen an
Silbersalze fest und verweist auf die entsprechenden Analysenverfahren. Sie gibt Informationen zur
Verwendung von Silbersalzen in der Wasseraufbereitung. Sie legt darüber hinaus Regeln für die sichere
Handhabung und Benutzung von Silbersalzen fest (siehe Anhang B).

Produits chimiques utilisés pour le traitement de l'eau destinée a la consommation humaine - Sels d'argent pour usage intermittent

La présente Norme européenne s’applique au nitrate d’argent et au sulfate d’argent pour la conservation de
l’eau destinée a la consommation humaine pour usage intermittent dans les usines d'alimentation en eau, y
compris leur réseau de canalisation, d’un débit annuel maximum de 1 000 m3 (usines de petite taille), de l’eau
destinée a la préparation des denrées alimentaires et de l’eau stockée sous emballage ou conservée en
circuit fermé (exemple : les systemes de distribution d’eau dans les véhicules terrestres, nautiques et aériens).
L'ajout des sels d’argent a pour but d’empecher la prolifération préjudiciable de micro-organismes dans l’eau
pendant le stockage ou dans les circuits de distribution fermés.
Cette Norme européenne décrit les caractéristiques des sels d’argent, spécifie les exigences des sels
d'argent et donne les méthodes d'analyse correspondantes. Elle donne des informations pour leur emploi
dans le traitement de l’eau. Elle fixe également les regles relatives a la sécurité d’emploi et de manipulation
des sels d’argent (voir Annexe B).
