1 Scope
This document is applicable only to hydrogen peroxide and not to mixtures with other chemicals used for treatment
of swimming pool water. It describes the characteristics of hydrogen peroxide and specifies the requirements and
the corresponding test methods for hydrogen peroxide. It gives information on its use in swimming water treatment.
It also determines the rules relating to safe handling and use (see Annex B).
