EN 901 (sodium hypochlorite) for those impurities commonly present in the product and the chemical parameters. Consideration has also been given to the requirements of EN 973 (sodium chloride) for regeneration of ion exchangers. 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. NOTE 1 Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for the 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 and not stated in this product standard. NOTE 2 Using the sodium hypochlorite standard to define limits produces discrepancies with EN 973 regarding sodium chloride for the regeneration of ion exchange water softeners. This should not be taken to imply any real difference between the chemical purity between salt types meeting either specification. Limits have been given for impurities and chemical 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. SIST EN 14805:2009

Prepare the laboratory sample(s) required in accordance with ISO 8213. 5.2 Analyses 5.2.1 Main product The mass fraction in % of sodium chloride (NaCI) shall be determined by calculation, on the basis of the results of the determinations of sulfate according to ISO 2480, halogens according to ISO 6227, calcium and magnesium according to ISO 2482 and loss of mass on drying according to ISO 2483. Convert sulfate to calcium sulfate and unused calcium to calcium chloride, unless sulfate in sample exceeds the amount necessary to combine with calcium, in which case convert calcium to calcium sulfate and unused sulfate to first to magnesium sulfate and the remaining sulfate to sodium sulfate. Convert unused magnesium to magnesium chloride. Convert unused halogens to sodium chloride. Report the sodium chloride contents on a dry matter basis, multiplying the mass fraction in % of sodium chloride by 100/(100 - P), where P in the percentage of the loss of mass on drying (see 5.2.2.2). 5.2.2 Impurities 5.2.2.1 Water-insoluble matter The content of water-insoluble matter shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2479. 5.2.2.2 Moisture content The loss of mass at 110 °C shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2483.

Stir to dissolve. 5.2.2.3.6.3 Blank test solution Transfer 150 ml of water into a 500 ml conical flask. 5.2.2.3.6.4 Determination Proceed with the conical flasks prepared in (5.2.2.3.6.2) and (5.2.2.3.6.3) in the following way. Add 4 drops of methyl red (5.2.2.3.4.8) and hydrochloric acid (5.2.2.3.4.2) until the solution turns red. Neutralize by addition of calcium carbonate (5.2.2.3.4.1) to a permanent slight cloudiness. Add 6,0 ml of buffer solution (5.2.2.3.4.6) and 5,0 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution (5.2.2.3.4.5). Heat to (90 ± 2) °C with agitation to avoid local overheating and keep at this temperature for 20 min. Add 10 ml of formic acid (5.2.2.3.4.3) and swirl. When CO2 ceases to evolve, cool to about 20 °C, add 2,0 ml of potassium iodide solution (5.2.2.3.4.4) and 25 ml of hydrochloric acid (5.2.2.3.4.2). Swirl and allow to stand for 1 min.
