This European Standard describes a method for identifying organic chemicals that are amenable to GC-MS analysis using the procedures described and which may migrate from a product into water intended for human consumption. A method of semi-quantitatively estimating the concentrations of the organic substances identified is also provided.
NOTE   The method to be used for the preparation of migration waters is specified by separate EN standards, as noted below.

This European Standard describes a method for detecting and identifying organic chemicals that are amenable to GC-MS analysis using the procedures described and which can migrate from a product into water intended for human consumption. This European Standard does not provide all the necessary tools to completely identify all the substances that are detected. A method of semi-quantitatively estimating the concentrations of the organic substances detected is also provided, however, concentrations should only be seen as indicative.
NOTE   The method to be used for the preparation of migration waters is specified by separate EN's, as noted below.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the chlorine demand of organic materials intended for use in contact with drinking water.
The standard is applicable to factory made and site applied products used for the distribution, transport and storage of drinking water.
The standard does not cover the use of high levels of chlorine to disinfect products when they are put into service.

This Standard specifies the performance requirements for flexible couplings, bushes and adaptors for use with pipes and fittings in drainage and sewerage systems, normally operated under gravity, both above and below ground and intended to connect different pipes for:
- Repair of damaged pipelines,
- Connecting pipes of different materials and/or diameters,
- Jointing short/cut lengths of pipe,
- Jointing specific pipe systems,
- Jointing post-inserted preformed junctions.
Typically a coupling consists of a moulded or extruded flexible sleeve with two clamping bands with or without a shear band. The clamping bands enable the sleeve to form a seal with the pipes to be joined. The shear band gives resistance to shear forces. Connections
may be made between pipes which cannot be satisfactorily joined by a coupling alone, of dissimilar sizes or material, by using an appropriate bush or bushes with the coupling.

This European Standard specifies procedures for determining the ability of non-metallic materials to promote the growth of microorganisms.
This standard is applicable to those materials destined to be used under various conditions for the transport and storage of water intended for human consumption.
The Standard allows for the testing of a single type of material, or a product in which only one material is in contact with water. It is unsuitable for use with assembled products where more than one material is exposed to water.

This European Standard specifies three methods for determining the ability of non-metallic materials to enhance the growth of micro-organisms.

This European Standard specifies the performance requirements for flexible couplings and adaptors and bushes for use with pipes and fittings in drain and sewer systems, usually operated under gravity and periodic hydraulic surcharge, both above and below ground inside or outside buildings and intended to connect pipes for:
-   repair of damaged pipelines;
-   connecting pipes of different materials and/or diameters;
-   jointing short/cut lengths of pipe;
-   jointing specific pipe systems;
-   jointing post-inserted preformed junctions.
Typically a coupling consists of a moulded or extruded flexible sleeve with two clamping bands with or without a shear band. The clamping bands enable the sleeve to form a seal with the pipes to be jointed. The shear band gives resistance to shear forces. Connections may be made between pipes which cannot be satisfactorily jointed by a coupling alone, of dissimilar sizes or material, by using an appropriate bush or bushes with the coupling or by using an appropriate adaptor.

EN 12873-1 specifies a procedure to determine the migration of substances from factory-made or factory-applied products for use in contact with water intended for human consumption. Materials used to make such products include plastics, rubber and glassy (porcelain/vitreous enamel) materials. This European Standard is applicable to products intended to be used under various conditions for the transport and storage of water intended for human consumption, including raw water used for the production of water intended for human consumption. It covers the extraction by water of substances from the finished products.

This European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the release of metals from metallic materials used in construction products intended to come into contact with drinking water1). The test can be used for three purposes: a) assess a material as a reference material for a category of materials using the results of several investigations in different waters covering a broad range of water compositions; b) assess a material for approval by way of comparative testing; c) obtain data on the interaction of local water with a material.

This Technical Report describes a procedure, based on a diffusion model, to be applied to the estimation of specific migration of substances into drinking water from organic materials intended to come into contact with drinking water. The modelling approach is readily applicable to certain organic materials, as explained in this report. In principle, the diffusion modelling approach is applicable to other organic materials but practical difficulties, in relation to obtaining data to feed into the diffusion model, may restrict or prevent its application. Accordingly, in addition to the diffusion model, scientific estimation procedures for the required data inputs need to be considered. The approach is normally applicable to organic substances that are soluble in the material matrix. Substances applied externally to a product made of an organic material, e.g. antistatic agents, lubricants, etc. are excluded from the diffusion modelling approach, as are electrolytes, salts, oxides and metals. Only organic substances with well-defined molecular weight or mixtures with well-defined ranges of molecular weights are amenable to the diffusion modelling approach. The diffusion modelling approach is readily applicable to amenable organic materials in the form of a pipe or a sheet, where data such as material thickness is readily calculable. More complicated product shapes, such as fittings, require assumptions to be made. It may not be possible to model the effects of test waters that are chemically active, for example test waters to which chlorine has been added to simulate chlorinated drinking water. This is because substances that migrate from a material into water containing chlorine can be converted by chemical reaction into substances with different properties.
