Overview
EN 15078:2013 - published by CEN - specifies the characteristics, purity requirements, test methods and safe-handling rules for sulfuric acid used directly or to produce formulations for swimming pool water treatment. The standard covers identification, commercial forms, physical/chemical properties, limits for common impurities, labelling, transport, storage and emergency procedures. It is intended to ensure that sulfuric acid supplied for pool water pH control is safe, traceable and of suitable quality.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & identification: Defines sulfuric acid (H2SO4, CAS 7664-93-9) and commercial concentrations (typical grades 92–98 %; other concentrations 25–80 % also available).
- Physical/chemical properties: Includes density (e.g. 1.84 g/ml at 96 %; 1.18 g/ml at 25 %), miscibility (fully miscible in water), boiling points and viscosities as reference values.
- Purity criteria: Sets minimum purity and impurity limits (examples from Table 1):
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) ≤ 100 mg/kg
- Iron (Fe) ≤ 100 mg/kg
- Arsenic (As) ≤ 0.4 mg/kg
- Cadmium (Cd) ≤ 0.1 mg/kg
- Mercury (Hg) ≤ 0.1 mg/kg
- Test methods: Sampling and analysis methods are referenced to EN 899.
- Labelling & classification: Aligned with CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (GHS). Signal word Danger; hazard statement H314 – Causes severe skin burns and eye damage; GHS pictogram GHS05.
- Transport & marking: Concentrations >51 % listed under UN 1830; class 8, packing group II (RID/ADR/IMDG/IATA). Required marking includes product name, mass fraction, net mass, supplier details and statement of conformity to EN 15078.
- Storage & safety: Storage in suitable, acid-resistant, bunded areas; incompatibilities (alkalis, organics, metals, oxidisers); emergency first aid (rinse eyes 15 min), spillage neutralisation and containment. Warning: ALWAYS add acid to water, never water to acid.
Applications and practical use
- Primary use: pH adjustment in swimming pool water treatment. Typical pool-grade concentrations: 30–45 % mass fraction used as supplied.
- Who uses it:
- Pool operators and facility managers (safe dosing and storage)
- Chemical producers and suppliers (product specification, labelling, transport)
- Water treatment equipment manufacturers (materials compatibility, dosing systems)
- Testing laboratories (analytical verification to EN 899)
- Regulators and safety officers (compliance, emergency planning)
- Practical considerations: Use metering pumps for dosing; monitor pH, sulfate and corrosion effects; neutralise excess acid if needed.
