Overview
EN 16380:2013 (CEN) specifies requirements for potassium peroxomonosulfate used in swimming pool water treatment. The European Standard describes the chemical identity and physical/chemical properties of the commercial triple salt (potassium peroxomonosulfate + potassium hydrogen sulfate + potassium sulfate), sets minimum purity and impurity limits, references test methods, and provides labelling, transport, storage and safe‑handling rules (Annex B). It clarifies that conformity with EN 16380:2013 does not replace national regulatory approval for pool disinfectants.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Identification and composition
- Chemical name: Potassium peroxomonosulfate (synonym: potassium monopersulfate).
- CAS number: 70693-62-8; EINECS: 274-778-7.
- Commercial product is a triple salt; active ingredient KHSO5 present at mass fraction > 45% or manufacturer’s declared value. Typical composition ~45% KHSO5, 25% KHSO4, 30% K2SO4.
- Physical and chemical properties
- Appearance: white, odourless, granular, free‑flowing.
- Bulk density: ~1.0–1.2 g/cm3.
- Solubility: ~250 g/L (20 °C), ~300 g/L (50 °C), ~330 g/L (70 °C).
- Decomposes above 60 °C; a 3% solution has pH ≈ 2. Standard reduction potential E° ≈ +1.82 V.
- Purity and chemical parameters
- Limits for heavy metals and contaminants (e.g., As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se) are defined in mg/kg of KHSO5 (Table 1 in the standard).
- Producers must notify users of any additional impurities or additives.
- Test methods and sampling
- Analytical and sampling methods are those in EN 12678 (normative reference).
- Labelling, transport and storage
- Packaging: polyethylene bags (1–50 kg) or fibre drums with polyethylene lining (1–100 kg). Never use paper bags or previously used containers unless cleaned.
- Labelling: Signal word: Danger; hazard statements include H302, H314, H318, H272. GHS pictograms for oxidiser, corrosion and exclamation apply.
- Safe handling and emergency procedures are provided in Annex B.
Applications and users
EN 16380:2013 is intended for:
- Pool water treatment chemical manufacturers and formulators (product specification and compliance).
- Suppliers and distributors (packaging, labelling, transport compliance).
- Swimming pool operators and facility managers (product selection and safe handling guidance).
- Testing laboratories and QC teams (purity testing against specified limits).
- Regulatory authorities and safety officers assessing product information and safety data sheets.
This standard supports consistent quality, safety and traceability for potassium peroxomonosulfate used as an oxidising disinfectant in swimming pool water treatment.
