Overview
EN 15076:2013 - published by CEN - specifies requirements for sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) used directly or as a raw material for formulations that treat swimming pool water. The standard defines identity, commercial forms, physical/chemical properties, purity criteria, test methods, labelling, transport, storage, safe handling and emergency measures. It is intended to ensure product quality, safety and regulatory compliance in pool water treatment applications.
Key topics and requirements
- Identification & forms: NaOH (CAS 1310-73-2), available as flakes, pearls, solid or aqueous solutions (typical mass fractions 50% or 30%); solid NaOH minimum 96% mass fraction.
- Physical/chemical properties: appearance, density (e.g.
1.52 g/ml for 50% at 20 °C), solubility, boiling point, crystallisation point (+12 °C for 50%), high alkalinity and very exothermic dilution. - Purity & impurities: specified impurity limits (e.g. NaCl ≤ 2.4%, Na2CO3 ≤ 0.4%, NaClO3 ≤ 0.7% relative to NaOH) and trace metal limits (different Type 1/Type 2 parametric values for As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se).
- Test methods: sampling and analysis are to follow EN 896 (the drinking-water sodium hydroxide standard referenced).
- Labelling & classification: CLP/REACH classification applied - signal word Danger, H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage, GHS05 corrosion pictogram (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
- Transport & marking: UN 1824; class 8 corrosive; packing group II under ADR/RID, IMDG and IATA; required product marking includes product name, net mass, supplier address and statement “this product conforms to EN 15076”.
- Storage & incompatibilities: avoid aluminium, zinc, galvanised metals (hydrogen evolution); suitable materials include lined mild steel, polyester or polypropylene; CO2 absorption forms sodium carbonate; avoid mixing with concentrated acids and chlorinated organics.
- Safety & emergency: supplier must provide safety instructions; first aid (rinse skin/eyes, neutralise mouth if conscious, seek medical help); spill response and neutralisation guidance is included.
Applications and users
- Primary uses: pH/alkalinity adjustment, neutralisation and softening in pool water treatment; applied via metering pumps or dissolving tanks.
- Who uses this standard: pool operators and facility managers, chemical manufacturers and formulators, suppliers and transporters, testing laboratories, health & safety officers, and regulatory agencies responsible for pool water quality and chemical handling.
