Overview
EN 15664-1:2008+A1:2013 is a CEN European Standard that defines the design and operation of a dynamic rig test to assess the release of metals from metallic materials into drinking water (water intended for human consumption). Part 1 specifies the test rig arrangement, operating conditions, sampling strategy and the way results are expressed. The method simulates domestic distribution conditions by alternating periods of through‑flow and stagnation to reproduce realistic corrosion and metal release behaviour.
This standard supports three main uses:
- Assess a material as a reference material for a category across different waters.
- Comparative testing for product approval.
- Generate data on interaction between local water and a material.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test rig design and arrangement: layout of control, test and (where needed) reference lines; components and assembly (Annex A).
- Flow regime and operation: alternating once‑through flow and stagnation cycles that simulate domestic use; example cycles (24 h, 16 h stagnation) are provided (Annex B).
- Control and test lines: use of inert control lines and test lines containing pipes or test pieces to isolate material effects.
- Conditioning and normal operation: procedures to condition the rig and maintain hydraulic function over prolonged test periods.
- Fractional sampling and sampling volumes: defined schemes for sampling after stagnation and during cycles; methods to calculate and express fractional results.
- Analytical methods and expression of results: reference to accepted analytical techniques (ICP‑AES, ICP‑MS, AAS, ion chromatography, pH, conductivity, TOC) via normative references; results expressed as concentrations after fixed stagnation times, equivalent pipe concentrations and mean concentrations over operating time.
- Test reporting: required data, presentation formats and example graphs (Annex D).
Applications and who uses it
EN 15664-1 is intended for:
- Manufacturers and product developers of metallic materials, fittings and piping for drinking water systems.
- Independent test laboratories performing material characterisation and certification testing.
- Water utilities and operators assessing the impact of local water on materials in distribution networks.
- Certification bodies and regulators needing comparative data for approvals or compliance assessment. Practical value: predicts metal release trends over time, supports material selection, risk assessment and conformity testing under realistic operating regimes.
