4 Purity criteria
4.1 General
This document specifies the minimum purity requirements for aluminium iron (III) sulfate 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 document.
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 lead to
significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user.
4.2 Composition of commercial product
The concentration of active matter (aluminium and iron ion contents) in the commercial product expressed as
grams per kilogram of product shall be within ± 3 % of the manufacturer's declared values.
NOTE The concentration of water-soluble aluminium and water-soluble iron in commercial products varies. Typical values
for concentration of active matter depending on the forms are given here below:
Al g/kg of product Fe g/kg of product
