Overview
EN 15362:2014 (CEN) specifies requirements for sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) used directly, or as an ingredient, in the treatment of swimming pool water. The standard describes identification, physical and chemical properties, purity criteria, test methods and supply/handling information. It also includes informative guidance on application (Annex A) and normative safety rules for handling and emergency measures (Annex B).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Identification
- Chemical name: sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
- Relative molecular mass: 105.99
- CAS No: 497-19-8; EINECS: 207-838-8
- Physical properties
- Appearance: white powder or crystals, slightly hygroscopic
- Density: 2.53 g/cm3; bulk density: light soda ash 0.5–0.65 kg/dm3, heavy soda ash 0.8–1.2 kg/dm3
- Solubility: 212 g/l (20 °C); melting point: 851 °C
- Reactivity: exothermic reaction with acids; dissolution in water is exothermic
- Purity and impurities
- Purity requirement: product shall contain not less than 99% Na2CO3 (mass fraction)
- Specified impurity limits include iron(II) (max. 20 mg/kg) and insoluble matter (max. 200 mg/kg). The standard also sets limits for trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb) and requires notification to users if other impurities/by‑products are present due to raw materials or manufacturing.
- Test methods & sampling
- Methods for sampling and analysis are those given in EN 897 (referenced standard).
- Labelling, transport and storage
- Delivery forms: bulk, bulk bags or bags; packaging must be clean or dedicated.
- Classification/labelling in line with current EU legislation is required (document shows GHS07 pictogram and hazard statement H319: “Causes serious eye irritation”). Sodium carbonate is not listed as dangerous for transport under a UN number in this edition.
- Safety
- Annex B lists rules for safe handling, first aid, spillage and fire response.
Applications and users
EN 15362:2014 is relevant to:
- Pool operators and facility managers (selection and safe use of sodium carbonate)
- Chemical manufacturers and formulators producing pool‑treatment products
- Water treatment equipment suppliers and integrators
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors (sampling, analysis, verification)
- Regulators and procurement bodies specifying product requirements
Practical considerations: verify national regulations before use, check raw water quality and dosage requirements, and ensure impurities or additives are disclosed to end users.
