Overview

EN 13176:2015 - Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption - Ethanol (CEN) is the European standard that defines the characteristics, quality requirements and test methods for synthetic ethanol used in the treatment of drinking water. The standard specifies compositional and purity criteria, sampling and analytical methods, labelling, transport and storage guidance, and provides informative background on origin and use.
Note: It does not apply to anhydrous ethanol not used for drinking water treatment.

Key topics and requirements

EN 13176:2015 covers technical and quality aspects important for safe and effective use of ethanol in water treatment. Main topics include:

• Identification and description
  • Chemical name, synonyms, CAS/EINECS references and commercial forms of synthetic ethanol.
• Physical and chemical properties
  • Required reporting of appearance, density, solubility, vapour pressure, boiling/melting behaviour and other relevant properties.
• Purity criteria and composition
  • Definition of acceptable composition for commercial products and limits on impurities and by-products relevant to drinking water uses.
• Test methods
  • Sampling procedures (from drums, bottles, tanks, tankers) and analytical methods for measuring ethanol content, impurities and other chemical parameters.
• Labelling, transport and storage
  • Labelling in line with EU legislation, transport regulations, marking, storage recommendations, incompatibilities and long-term stability considerations.
• Safety and emergency procedures
  • Normative guidance on safe handling and emergency response related to synthetic ethanol (Annex B).
• Informative background
  • Annex A provides context on origin (raw materials, manufacturing) and typical functions/uses of synthetic ethanol in water treatment.

Practical applications and users

EN 13176:2015 is practical for organizations involved in drinking water chemicals and quality compliance:

• Water utilities and treatment plants - ensuring purchased ethanol meets purity and safety requirements for human consumption water treatment.
• Chemical manufacturers and suppliers - specifying product composition, labelling and transport/storage practices for synthetic ethanol destined for drinking water use.
• Analytical laboratories - adopting the described sampling and test methods for quality control and regulatory compliance testing.
• Regulators and procurement teams - using the standard as a reference for approvals, specifications and tenders.
• Consultants and health/safety officers - integrating storage, handling and emergency guidance into site procedures.

Related standards

• EN 13176:2015 is part of CEN’s suite of standards on chemicals for water treatment. Users should reference applicable EU labelling and transport regulations and other CEN standards for sampling and water treatment chemicals to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Keywords: EN 13176:2015, synthetic ethanol, drinking water, water treatment chemicals, purity criteria, test methods, CEN, labelling, storage, sampling.
