1 Scope
This document specifies a method to determine the influence of site-applied cement based materials and
associated non-cement based products/materials (including pre-packaged mortars) on the odour,
flavour, colour, turbidity and total organic carbon (TOC) of test waters after contact with the products.
This document is applicable to site-applied or site-formed cement based materials intended to be used
for the transport and storage of water intended for human consumption, including raw water used for
the production of drinking water. It is also applicable to individual constituents of cement based
products/materials and to associated non-cement based products/materials.
Site-applied or site-formed cement based materials which cannot be cast as cubes or prisms e.g. some
spray applied systems, are tested as factory made cement based products according to EN 14944−1.
NOTE Tests with the specified test water will not necessarily be representative of materials used in different
kinds of waters and especially very soft waters.

4 Principle
The procedure specifies the method for producing test pieces (normally in the form of cubes or prisms)
from the site applied or site formed material under test. It also specifies the method of producing concrete
or mortar test pieces for assessing individual unapproved constituents of these materials or associated
non-cement based products/materials.
Each test piece is subjected to a specified preconditioning procedure where the surface which, in practice
will be exposed to water intended for human consumption, is brought into contact with preconditioning
water during five sequential periods: three periods of 24 h, 1 period of 72 h and a final period of 24 h.
The preconditioned test piece is then brought into contact with test water, chlorinated and/or chlorine-
free during three sequential migration periods. A migration period is either:
a) 72 h at (23 ± 2) °C for products intended to come into contact with chlorinated and/or chlorine-free
cold water;
b) 24 h at a specified elevated temperature for products intended to come into contact with warm or
hot chlorine-free water.
After each contact period, each migration water is assessed for odour, flavour, colour, turbidity and TOC.
The selection of:
a) the appropriate test water, chlorinated and/or chlorine-free, from those made available in this
document;
b) the temperature of the test water;
c) the need for chlorination during preconditioning;
is specified in product or system standards or in national or European regulations, as appropriate.

either the ascorbic acid solution (5.1.1) or the sodium thiosulfate solution (5.1.2), its organoleptic
parameters, odour, flavour colour and turbidity shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1.

calcium chloride (CaCl ), (482 ± 2) mg sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO ) and (71 ± 1) mg sodium
2 3
silicate (Na SiO ·9H O) in 1 l of demineralized water (3.28). The pH is determined in accordance with
2 3 2

5.3 Cleaning liquids for apparatus
Use one of the following cleaning liquids:
— non-perfumed biodegradable detergent;
— hydrochloric acid, 2 mol/l;
— nitric acid, 10 % or 1,5 mol/l.
6 Apparatus
6.1 General
For cleaning the glassware, and appropriate apparatus, before use, the following general requirements
apply:
a) clean the glassware to be used, using detergent (5.3). Rinse the glassware in demineralized water
(3.28);
b) clean the inner surface of the glassware with hydrochloric acid (5.3) and rinse it with demineralized
water. For stainless steel, clean with nitric acid (5.3) and then rinse with demineralized water;
c) before use, rinse the glassware, and appropriate apparatus, at least three times using
preconditioning water before preconditioning (8.2) or reference water before the test procedure
(9.2.2).
6.2 Apparatus and materials for test piece preparation (see Annexes A, B and C)
6.2.1 Stainless steel
Stainless steel shall be austenitic, super austenitic or duplex grades in accordance with the corresponding
numerical designations, 1.4301, 1.4436, 1.4429, 1.4529 or 1.4462 in EN 10088-1:2023 for stainless
steels.
NOTE The grades above are specified for the use of stainless steel as reinforcement in concrete. Therefore, they
are considered to be inert when used in contact with cement based proxy samples (see Annexes A, B and C).
6.2.2 Moulds for forming test pieces
Moulds for preparing test pieces of concrete or mortar shall be made from alkali-resistant material that
does not interfere with analyses of migration waters.
A mould used to cast concrete test pieces shall normally give a test specimen with total surface area of
approximately 60 000 mm as appropriate to the tolerance permitted on S/V ratio, see Annex D.
NOTE High density polyethylene (HDPE) containers have been found to be satisfactory for this use.
Where steel moulds conforming to the requirements of EN 12390-1 are used, the joints shall not be
coated with any wax, oil or grease to achieve water tightness.
A mould used to cast mortar test pieces shall give a test specimen with total surface area of approximately
28 800 mm as appropriate to the tolerance permitted on S/V ratio, see Annex D.
Other mould sizes for casting concrete or mortar may be used, provided the permitted tolerance on S/V
ratio can be achieved during testing, see Annex D.
Where a site-applied or site-formed cement based product is not suitable for casting in a mould, e.g. some
spray applied products, it should be applied and tested according to EN 14944-1.
6.2.3 Cleaning and use of moulds
Clean moulds and any filling frame used with a mould, by thoroughly washing with non-perfumed
detergent (5.3) and tap water (3.27), rinsing with copious amounts of tap water, followed by a final rinse
with demineralized water (3.28) and dry before use.
The use of release agents to coat the internal surfaces of moulds is not permitted by this document.
NOTE Release agents for use with site-applied or site-formed cement based materials are examples of
associated non-cement based materials and are tested in accordance with Annex C.
6.3 Apparatus and materials for preconditioning and migration procedure
6.3.1 Vessels, containers, covers, connectors and stoppers, made of materials which do not affect
the odour, flavour, colour and turbidity assessment under the specified test conditions such as glass,
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), steel or stainless steel.
6.3.2 Equipment, capable of maintaining the test temperature (Clause 9) within ±2 °C for the duration
