Overview

EN 1202:2005 (CEN) defines requirements for dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate (K2HPO4) used in the treatment of water intended for human consumption. The standard describes the product identity (CAS 7758-11-4, relative molecular mass 174.0, formula K2HPO4), commercial forms (solid white powder or clear solution), physical properties (solubility ~1 590 g/l at 25 °C, 1 % solution pH ≈ 9–9.2) and the minimum purity, impurity limits and test methods required to demonstrate conformance. It also provides guidance on sampling, labelling, transportation and storage and notes that national regulations may impose additional controls.

Key Topics

  • Scope and identification
    • Applicable to dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate for drinking-water treatment.
    • Chemical identifiers and common names (potassium phosphate, dibasic).
  • Composition and purity criteria
    • Required composition on dry mass basis: P2O5 ≈ 41 ± 1.0 %; K2O ≈ 53.5 ± 1.0 %.
    • Specified impurity limits (mg/kg dry product): sulfate ≤ 500; fluoride ≤ 10.
    • Trace element limits (mg/kg): As, Sb, Cd, Se ≤ 3; Hg ≤ 1; Pb, Cr, Ni ≤ 10, etc.
  • Physical and chemical properties
    • Appearance, density, solubility, melting point and typical solution pH.
  • Sampling and test methods
    • Sampling procedures for solids, drums, tanks and tankers (ISO 3165, ISO 8213).
    • Analytical tests: alkalimetric titration for phosphate/K2O content; atomic absorption or ICP methods for trace metals; ISO methods for sulfate and fluoride.
  • Labelling, transport and storage
    • Requirements for safe handling, transportation and storage are addressed (see Clause 6).

Applications and Users

  • Practical uses:
    • Corrosion control, pH buffering and phosphate dosing in potable water treatment systems.
    • Component in formulated water-treatment products.
  • Who uses EN 1202:2005:
    • Water utilities and municipal drinking-water operators assessing chemical quality.
    • Chemical manufacturers and suppliers of dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate.
    • Laboratories performing conformity testing and regulatory compliance checks.
    • Regulators and procurement teams specifying material acceptance criteria.

Related Standards

EN 1202:2005 references numerous normative documents for test methods and sampling, for example:

  • EN 1483, EN ISO 3696, EN ISO 11969, EN ISO 11885
  • ISO 2997, ISO 3360, ISO 3165, ISO 8213, ISO 6206

Note: Conformity with EN 1202:2005 defines minimum product quality for potable water use but does not by itself guarantee regulatory acceptance in all EU/EFTA member states; national rules and parametric values should be consulted.
