4 Purity criteria
4.1 General
This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for sodium hydrogen carbonate used for the
treatment of water intended for human consumption. 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 products not stated in this product standard.
Limits have been given for impurities and chemical 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 leads
to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user.
