La présente Norme européenne s'applique uniquement au chlorure de sodium utilisé dans les systèmes d'électrochloration, et non aux mélanges avec d'autres substances chimiques utilisés pour le traitement de l'eau des piscines. Elle décrit les caractéristiques du chlorure de sodium utilisé dans les systèmes d'électrochloration et spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d’essai correspondantes. Elle fournit des informations pour son emploi dans le traitement de l’eau des piscines. Elle fixe également les règles relatives à la sécurité d'emploi et de manipulation (voir Annexe A).

Kemikalije, ki se uporabljajo za pripravo bazenske vode - Elektrokemijsko pridobivanje klora iz natrijevega klorida

Ta evropski standard se uporablja le za natrijev klorid, ki se uporablja v sistemih za elektrokemijsko pridobivanje klora in ne za mešanice z drugimi kemikalijami, ki se uporabljajo za pripravo bazenske vode. Opisuje značilnosti natrijevega klorida, ki se uporablja v sistemih za elektrokemijsko pridobivanje klora in določa zahteve in ustrezne preskusne metode za natrijev klorid, ki se uporablja v sistemih za elektrokemijsko pridobivanje klora. Podaja informacije za uporabo natrijevega klorida pri pripravi bazenske vode. Določa tudi pravila za varno ravnanje in uporabo.

EN 16401:2013 - Chemicals used for treatment of swimming pool water - Sodium chloride used for electrochlorinator systems

Overview

EN 16401:2013 (CEN) is the European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for sodium chloride used in electrochlorinator systems for swimming pool water treatment. It applies only to sodium chloride (NaCl) intended for on-site electrochlorination and not to chemical mixtures. The standard describes identification, commercial forms, physical and chemical properties, purity criteria, labelling, transport, storage and safety information (see Annex A).

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Identification and forms
    • Chemical name: sodium chloride (NaCl); available as rock salt, sea salt or evaporated salt, supplied as free‑flowing crystals or compacted forms.
  • Purity grades
    • Grade A: ≥ 99.4% NaCl (dry)
    • Grade B: ≥ 98.5% NaCl (dry)
  • Impurities and limits
    • Water‑insoluble matter: Grade A max 0.05% | Grade B max 0.35%
    • Moisture: Dry salt max 0.6% | Undried salt max 5%
    • Chemical parameters (examples): Ca+Mg ≤ 1 000 mg/kg; As ≤ 13 mg/kg; Pb ≤ 13 mg/kg; Hg ≤ 0.26 mg/kg; Br ≤ 250 mg/kg. (Full list and test methods referenced in the standard.)
  • Test methods and sampling
    • Analytical methods and sampling follow those specified in EN 973.
  • Labelling, transport and storage
    • Delivered in water‑resistant bags; marking must include product name, grade, net mass, supplier details and the statement “this product conforms to EN 16401”.
    • Not classified as dangerous for road, rail, sea or air transport.
    • Store in a cool, dry place, away from acids, alkaloidal/ heavy metal salts and oxidizers.
  • Safety
    • Annex A covers safe handling, first aid (rinse skin/eyes with water) and spillage procedures.

Applications and Who Uses This Standard

  • Primary use: sodium chloride for producing active chlorine by electrolysis (electrochlorination) in swimming-pool water disinfection systems.
  • Typical users
    • Pool operators and facility managers specifying salt for electrochlorinators.
    • Salt producers and suppliers who must meet purity and labelling requirements.
    • Equipment manufacturers and system integrators advising on brine concentration and consumption (typical salt consumption: ~1.7–3 kg NaCl per kg chlorine).
    • Testing laboratories performing conformity and impurity analyses.
    • Regulatory and procurement teams assessing product acceptability.

Related Standards

  • EN 973 - Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption (sodium chloride for ion exchange regeneration); referenced for sampling and analytical methods.
  • EU Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) - referenced for classification and labelling considerations.
