4 Purity criteria
4.1 General
This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for hydrogen peroxide 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.
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 product not
stated in this product standard.

SIST EN 902:2016
EN 902:2016 (E)
Limits have been given for impurities and chemicals 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 hydrogen peroxide is usually available in concentrated solution with concentration within the
range of mass fraction of 20 % to 70 %. Diluted products are also available.
The concentration of hydrogen peroxide shall be equal to or greater than the manufacturer specified

5.2.1.2 Reagents
All reagents shall be of a recognized analytical grade and the water used shall conform to grade 3 in
accordance with EN ISO 3696.
5.2.1.2.1 Sulfuric acid, solution, free from reducing substance, 440 g/l:
Check for the absence of reducing substances by adding two drops of the potassium permanganate
solution (5.2.1.2.2) to 1 l of the sulfuric acid solution. The pink coloration shall persist for at least
30 min.
5.2.1.2.2 Potassium permanganate, standard volumetric solution, c(KMnO ) = 0,1 mol/l.

Weigh about 16 g of potassium permanganate (KMnO ) and dissolve in 1 l of water.
4
Mix the solution and store it in a coloured, ground glass stoppered bottle for at least 10 days before
standardizing.
The standardization shall be carried out in accordance with the following procedure:
a) Preparation of the sodium oxalate, standard volumetric solution, c(Na C O ) = 0,25 mol/l:
2 2 4
Dry the sodium oxalate (Na C O ) at 200 °C for 24 h and allow to cool in a desiccator. Weigh to the
2 2 4
nearest 0,000 1 g, 16,75 g of this product and dissolve it in 200 ml of the sulfuric acid
solution (5.2.1.2.1). Transfer the solution quantitatively to a 500 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to
the mark with water and mix.
Store the solution in a coloured, ground glass stoppered bottle. Store for at least 3 days before using and
discard after 30 d.
b) Determination of the concentration:
Introduce 50 ml (V ) of the sodium oxalate solution (a) into a 500 ml conical flask and add 45 ml of
1
water and 15 ml of the sulfuric acid solution (5.2.1.2.1).
Heat the mixture to 40 °C by means of a hot water bath. Using a burette, quickly add 38 ml of the
potassium permanganate solution (5.2.1.2.2.). Discoloration shall occur after shaking for several
seconds; if necessary raise the temperature of the test solution slightly. Continue adding the potassium
permanganate solution, drop by drop, until a pink coloration is obtained which persists for 30 s. Note
the volume V
2
.
c) Calculation:
The concentration (c ) of the potassium permanganate solution (5.2.1.2.2) expressed in moles per litre
2
is given by the following formula:
c = 2/5 × (c × V )/V (1)
2 1 1 2
where
c1 is the concentration, in moles per litre, of the sodium oxalate solution used for the titration
in c) (c = 0,25 mol/l);
1
V is the volume, in millilitres, of the sodium oxalate solution used for the titration in b)

5.2.1.4.2 Determination
Introduce 60 ml of water and 15 ml of the sulfuric acid solution (5.2.1.2.1) into a 500 ml conical flask.
Add the potassium permanganate solution (5.2.1.2.2), drop by drop, shaking continuously, until a slight
