Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption - Calcium carbonate, high-calcium lime, half-burnt dolomite, magnesium oxide, calcium magnesium carbonate and dolomitic lime - Test methods

This European Standard specifies the methods used for the chemical analyses and the determination of physical properties of calcium carbonate, high-calcium lime, half-burnt dolomite, magnesium oxid calcium magnesium carbonate and dolomitic lime used to treat water for human consumption.
This document describes the reference methods and, in certain cases, an alternative method which can be considered to be equivalent. In the case of a dispute, only the reference methods are used.
Any other methods may be used provided they are calibrated, either against the reference methods or against internationally accepted reference materials, in order to demonstrate their equivalence.

Produkte zur Aufbereitung von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch - Calciumcarbonat, Weißkalk, halbgebrannter Dolomit, Magnesiumoxid, Calciummagnesiumcarbonat und Dolomitkalk - Analytische Verfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Verfahren zur chemischen Analyse und zur Bestimmung von physikalischen Eigenschaften von Calciumcarbonat, Weißkalk, halb¬gebranntem Dolomit, Magnesiumoxid, Calcium-magnesiumcarbonat und Dolomitkalk fest. Diese Stoffe werden zur Aufbereitung von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch eingesetzt.
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt Referenzprüfverfahren und in einigen Fällen Alternativprüfverfahren, die als gleichwertig angesehen werden können. Im Streitfall ist nur das Referenzverfahren maßgebend.
Werden andere Verfahren angewendet, so sind diese gegen die Referenzverfahren oder gegen international anerkannte Referenzmaterialien zu kalibrieren, um ihre Eignung nachzuweisen.

Produits chimiques utilisés pour le traitement de l'eau destinée à la consommation humaine - Carbonate de calcium, chaux, dolomie semi-calcinée, oxyde de magnésium, carbonate de calcium et de magnésium et chaux dolomitique - Méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne décrit les méthodes utilisées pour réaliser les analyses chimiques et déterminer les propriétés physiques du carbonate de calcium, de la chaux, et de la dolomie semi-calcinée, de l’oxyde de magnésium, du carbonate de calcium et de magnésium et de la chaux dolomitique utilisés pour le traitement de l’eau destinée à la consommation humaine.
Le présent document décrit les méthodes de référence et, dans certains cas, une méthode alternative qui peut être considérée comme étant équivalente. En cas de conflit, seules les méthodes de référence sont à utiliser.
D’autres méthodes peuvent être utilisées, dans la mesure où elles sont étalonnées, soit par rapport aux méthodes de référence, soit par rapport aux matériaux de référence internationalement reconnus, de manière à démontrer leur équivalence.

Kemikalije, ki se uporabljajo za pripravo pitne vode - Kalcijev karbonat, visoko kalcijevo apno in polžgan dolomit, magnezijev oksid in kalcij-magnezijev karbonat in dolomitno apno - Preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard določa metode, ki se uporabljajo za kemične analize in določanje fizikalnih lastnosti kalcijevega karbonata, visokega kalcijevega apna, polpraženega dolomita, magnezijevega oksida kalcijevega magnezijevega karbonata in dolomitskega apna za čiščenje vode za prehrano ljudi.
V tem dokumentu so opisane referenčne metode in v nekaterih primerih alternativna metoda, s katero lahko pridobimo enakovredne rezultate. V primeru spora se uporabijo le referenčne metode.
Uporabijo se lahko tudi druge metode, če so kalibrirane glede na referenčne metode ali mednarodno sprejete referenčne materiale, s čimer se dokaže njihova enakovrednost.
