Overview
EN 16381:2013 (CEN) - Chemicals used for treatment of swimming pool water - Sodium peroxodisulfate - is the European standard that specifies the identity, required characteristics, test methods and safe-use information for sodium peroxodisulfate when used for swimming‑pool water treatment. The standard defines product composition, purity limits, labelling, transportation classification and storage/handling rules (including normative Annex B on safety). It clarifies that national regulations on use remain applicable and that conformity with EN 16381:2013 does not automatically imply regulatory approval in any Member State.
Key topics and requirements
- Identification: chemical name (sodium peroxodisulfate / sodium persulfate), empirical/chemical formula Na2S2O8, relative molecular mass 238.11, CAS 7775‑27‑1, EINECS 231‑892‑1.
- Commercial form & properties: white, odourless crystalline powder; bulk density ≈ 1.15 g/cm3; highly soluble in water (e.g. ~545 g/L at 20 °C); decomposes above 65 °C; strong oxidiser with standard reduction potential ≈ +2.06 V at 25 °C.
- Purity criteria: commercial product shall contain ≥ 99% Na2S2O8 (mass fraction).
- Chemical parameter limits: specified maximum concentrations for trace contaminants (examples from the standard): arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, nickel, lead, antimony and selenium - limits are expressed in mg/kg of Na2S2O8; users should consult Table 1 in the standard for exact values.
- Test methods & sampling: analytical and sampling methods are those given in EN 12926.
- Labelling & transport: EU GHS hazard labelling (signal word “Danger” and H‑statements such as H272, H302, H315, H319, H334, H317) and pictograms; UN No. 1505, Class 5.1 (oxidising substances), Packaging Group III for international transport (ADR / IMDG / IATA details provided).
- Storage & handling: keep in original polyethylene packaging or lined fibre drums, cool and dry, away from heat, metals, reducing agents, organic/combustible materials; stable for one year if stored below 30 °C.
Applications and practical value
- Used as an oxidising/initiating chemical in pool water disinfection and treatment processes where sodium peroxodisulfate’s oxidising or radical‑generating properties are required.
- The standard helps manufacturers, suppliers and purchasers ensure product quality and safety, facilitates compliant labelling and transport, and supports consistent testing and acceptance criteria for pool‑use chemicals.
Who should use this standard
- Pool water treatment product manufacturers and formulators
- Chemical suppliers and distributors handling sodium peroxodisulfate
- Public‑health authorities and pool operators assessing chemical suitability
- Laboratories performing quality control and conformity testing
