Overview
prEN 15073 (CEN) specifies requirements for sodium dichloroisocyanurate, dihydrate used directly or as a raw material for commercial formulations to disinfect swimming pool water. The draft European Standard describes identification, physical and chemical properties, minimum purity criteria, test methods and labelling, transportation and storage rules. It is intended to supersede EN 15073:2013 and complements existing EU biocide and transport regulations.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Identification and composition
- Chemical name: 1‑sodium,3,5‑dichloro‑1,3,5‑triazine‑2,4,6‑trione dihydrate (CAS 51580‑86‑0).
- Available chlorine: minimum 55% by mass (method referenced to EN 12932).
- Physical & chemical properties
- White granular solid with chlorinous odour; bulk density ≈ 0.9 g/cm³; solubility 291 g/L at 25 °C.
- Strong oxidant that liberates free chlorine by hydrolysis.
- Purity and impurities
- Water content: < 14%.
- Sodium chloride: < 0.05%.
- Trace metal limits (mg/kg): Arsenic ≤10; Cadmium ≤1; Chromium ≤6–10 (type dependent); Mercury ≤0.02; Nickel ≤3; Lead ≤4; Antimony ≤5; Selenium ≤1.
- Testing
- Sampling and analytical methods are those given in EN 12932.
- Labelling & safety
- GHS signal word Danger; hazard statements including H302 (harmful if swallowed) and H400 (very toxic to aquatic life).
- Product is a biocide-manufacturers/marketers must comply with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
- Transport & storage
- UN 3077; classified as dangerous goods (Class 9, Packing Group III - RID/ADR/IMDG/IATA).
- Marking must include name, trade name/type, net mass, supplier address and the statement “this product conforms to EN 15073”.
- Storage: cool, dry, original packaging; stable for at least three years; keep away from acids, water, organics, peroxides, hypochlorites, ammonium salts and bases.
Applications
- Ensures consistency, safety and regulatory compliance for use of sodium dichloroisocyanurate, dihydrate in:
- Swimming pool and spa water disinfection products
- Chemical manufacturers and formulators producing granular or blended pool disinfectants
- Water treatment laboratories performing quality control and acceptance testing
- Safety officers, transporters and storage facility managers handling oxidizing pool chemicals
Who should use this standard
- Pool operators, chemical suppliers, manufacturers, QA/QC laboratories, regulatory bodies and logistics providers involved in the supply chain of pool disinfection chemicals.
Related standards
