Overview

EN 16037:2012 (CEN) specifies requirements for sodium hydrogen sulfate (also known as sodium bisulfate) when used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. The standard defines the product description, physical and chemical properties, minimum purity criteria, limits for common impurities and by‑products, and the corresponding test methods. It also provides information on use in water treatment and includes informative and normative annexes on general information, safety and analytical methods.

Key Topics

  • Scope & identification
    • Chemical name: sodium hydrogen sulfate (NaHSO4), CAS 7681-38-1, empirical formula NaHSO4.
    • Commercial form: powder or beads, free‑flowing; white to slightly yellow, hygroscopic.
  • Physical properties
    • Bulk density ≈ 1 400–1 450 kg/m3; solubility ≈ 1 080 g/L at 25 °C; 20% solution pH ≈ 1.0–1.2.
  • Purity criteria (minimum requirements)
    • NaHSO4 content > 95.2%
    • Sodium sulfate ≤ 4.8%
    • Water ≤ 0.8%

Applications and Users

  • Intended for water supply operators, drinking water treatment plants, chemical manufacturers, quality control laboratories, procurement officers and regulators assessing suitability of sodium hydrogen sulfate for potable‑water treatment.
  • Practical uses include pH adjustment, acidification and process control in drinking water purification where documented purity and trace‑impurity levels are required.

Related Standards

EN 16037 references and aligns with analytical and sampling standards such as:

  • EN 1233, EN 1483, EN ISO 3696
