Foreword
This document (prEN 14944-1:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 164 "Water supply", the
secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 14944-1:2006.
In comparison with EN 14944-1:2006, the following changes have been made:
— provisions for testing the influence of materials on TOC have been added,
— the test method for TON /TFN according to EN 1622 has been specified according to the revised prEN 1420,
— requirements for disinfection (preconditioning with 50 mg/L Chlorine) have been removed,
— a procedure for extending the number of migration periods has been included.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association.
This document describes a test method to determine the influence(s) of factory made cementitious products on
organoleptic parameters and the migration of organic substances (TOC) in water intended for human consumption.
This European Standard will result in one of a series of standards that support appropriate standards.
This European Standard is part of a series dealing with the influence of cementitious and associated non-
cementitious products/materials on water intended for human consumption, including:
— Part 1: Influence on organoleptic parameters and migration of organic substances (TOC) from factory made
cementitious products
— Part 2: Influence of site-applied cementitious materials and associated non-cementitious products/materials on
organoleptic parameters
— Part 3: Migration of substances from factory made cementitious products.
— Part 4: Migration of substances from site-applied cementitious materials and associated non-cementitious
products/materials.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method to determine the influence of factory made cementitious products on
the odour, flavour, colour, turbidity and total organic carbon (TOC) of test waters after contact with the products.
This European Standard is applicable to factory made cementitious products, e.g. cement mortar linings to metallic
pipes, tanks, concrete pipes, etc. intended to be used for the transport and storage of water for human
consumption, including raw water used for the production of drinking water.

Each test piece is subjected to a specified preconditioning procedure where the surface which, in practice, will be
exposed to water intended for human consumption is brought into contact with preconditioning water during five
sequential periods: three periods of 24 h, 1 period of 72 h and a final period of 24 h.
The preconditioned test piece is then brought into contact with test water, chlorinated and/or chlorine-free during
three sequential migration periods. A migration period is either:
a) 72 h at (23 ± 2) °C for products intended to come into contact with chlorinated or chlorine-free cold water;
b) 24 h at a specified elevated temperature for products intended to come into contact with warm or hot chlorine-
free water.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 14944-1:2015
prEN 14944-1:2015 (E)
After each contact period, each migration water is assessed for odour, flavour, colour, turbidity and TOC.
NOTE The selection of:
a) the appropriate test water, chlorinated and/or chlorine-free, from those made available in this European Standard,
b) the temperature of the test water,
c) the need for chlorination during preconditioning
is specified in product or system standards or in national or European regulations, as appropriate.

6.2 Apparatus and materials for test piece preparation (see Annexes A, B and C)
6.2.1 Stainless steel plates and cylinders
6.2.1.1 Stainless steel
Stainless steel shall be austenitic, super austenitic or duplex grades in accordance with the corresponding
numerical designations, 1.4301, 1.4436, 1.4429, 1.4259 or 1.4462 in EN 10088-1:2014 for stainless steels.
NOTE The grades above are specified for the use of stainless steel as reinforcement in concrete. Therefore, they are
considered to be inert when used in contact with cementitious proxy samples (see Annexes A, B and C).
6.2.1.2 Plates
In order to provide a sufficient volume of migration water for assessment, the surface area of one face of a plate
2 2
should be between 10 000 mm and 90 000 mm . The length/width of the plates should be selected to be
consistent with the dimensions of the test container and the volume of test water in which they will be immersed.
6.2.1.3 Cylinders
The diameter and length of a cylinder should be consistent with the dimensions of the test piece (see Annexes A, B
or C and Annexes D and E) and the volume of test water appropriate to the specified S/V ratio given in 7.3.
6.2.2 Glass cylinders
The diameter and length of a glass cylinder should be consistent with the dimensions of the test piece (see
Annexes A, B or C and Annexes D and E) and the volume of test water appropriate to the specified S/V ratio given
in 7.3. Glass cylinders should be provided with suitable external (opaque) shielding for use during migration
procedures (test pieces and blanks), in order to minimize exposure of migration waters to ambient light.
6.2.3 Moulds for forming test pieces
Moulds for forming prisms of mortar shall conform to the requirements of EN 196-1, as specified for use in
EN 1015-11, or to EN 12390-1 for forming cubes/cylinders of concrete, with modifications to materials and
dimensional tolerances as specified in Annex A, B or C, as appropriate.
Clean moulds and any filling frame used with a mould, by thoroughly washing with non-perfumed detergent (5.4)
and tap water (3.28), rinsing with copious amounts of tap water, followed by a final rinse with demineralized water
(3.29) and dry before use.
If a factory made cementitious product has been formed in a process where its entire contact surface has been in
contact with a release agent and if proxy samples (3.6) are used, the same release agent shall be applied to the
internal surfaces of the mould, otherwise the use of release agents is not permitted.
6.3 Apparatus and materials for preconditioning and migration procedure
6.3.1 Vessels, containers, covers, connectors and stoppers, made of materials which do not affect the
odour, flavour, colour and turbidity assessment under the specified test conditions such as glass,
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or stainless steel.
The material PTFE should only be used if there is a small contact area with the test water. Thus PTFE is unsuitable
for containers.
6.3.2 Equipment, capable of maintaining the test temperature within ± 2°C for the duration of the test.
6.3.3 If required, sealants that do not affect the odour, flavour, colour and turbidity assessments under the
specified test conditions.

6.4.1 Erlenmeyer and volumetric flasks, beakers, measuring cylinders, immersion tanks, volumetric
pipettes, funnels and stoppers made of glass, PTFE or stainless steel.
The material PTFE should only be used if there is a small contact area with the test water. Thus PTFE is unsuitable
for containers.
6.4.2 Testing vessels, comprising the following glassware (which shall be reserved for odour and flavour
assessment only and cleaned separately from other items): testing bottles for odour assessment and testing
glasses for flavour assessment conforming to the requirements given in EN 1622.
6.4.3 Waterbath or incubator, conforming to the requirements of EN 1622.
