This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an ident
19、ical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2007. This document supersedes EN 1622:1997. The forced choice test method has been moved into Annex B. Annex C has been added. The standard has been completel
20、y editorially revised. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ire

EN 1622:2006 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard gives quantitative methods for the determination of the threshold odour number
22、(TON) and the threshold flavour number (TFN). The main methodology (unforced choice) widely used in Europe is described in this European Standard. Another methodology, used by a limited number of member state (forced choice) is described in Annex B. A simplified qualitative method is also described
23、in Annex C. The methods specified in this European Standard are based on the standard methods for sensory analysis. However, some differences are noted, as compared with those methods, due to water specificity. This European Standard is primarily intended to give a quantitative measure of odour and
24、flavour of a water sample at a temperature of 23 C. NOTE The method can be used to determine the odour and flavour of a water sample at other temperatures but there will be no correlation between results obtained at different temperatures. WARNING Persons using this European Standard should be famil
25、iar with normal laboratory practice. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditi
26、ons. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard be carried out by suitably trained staff. EN 1622:2006 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies quantitative methods for determining the TON and TFN of waters and also a qualitative method for de
27、termining any abnormal odour and/or flavour. It is essential that the safety remarks in Clause 5 are taken into account. Two quantitative methods are described: a short method applicable when either a sample has no odour and flavour or when the odour and flavour are to be compared with a specified t
28、hreshold number; a full method applicable when the threshold number for the sample is to be determined. For both quantitative methods, two different methodologies are described: unforced choice in the standard; forced choice in Annex B. Both methods are applicable for quantifying the odour and flavo
29、ur of drinking water and/or migration waters from materials in contact with waters. NOTE The choice of the quantitative or qualitative method is depending on the national regulations, and on the type of water to be assessed (raw water, distribution water, migration water .) 2 Normative references Th

32、 on sniffing certain volatile substances (see ISO 5492) 3.2 flavour complex combination of the olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal sensations perceived during tasting. The flavour may be influenced by tactile, thermal, painful and/or kinaesthetic effects (see ISO 5492) 3.3 threshold odour number (TO
33、N) dilution ratio beyond which the diluted sample does not have any perceptible odour ABATON+= (1) where EN 1622:2006 (E) 7 A is the volume of sample; B is the volume of reference water 3.4 threshold flavour number (TFN) dilution ratio beyond which the diluted sample does not have any perceptible fl
34、avour ABATFN+= (2) where A is the volume of sample; B is the volume of reference water 3.5 reference water water described as without any perceptible odour and flavour by test panel 3.6 test panel group of selected assessors used to evaluate flavour and odour NOTE For guidance on the selection of th
35、e test panel, see Annexes E or G. 3.7 selected assessor assessor chosen for his/her ability to perform a sensory test (see ISO 5492) 3.8 sample water intended for odour and flavour assessment 3.9 triangle test three test samples, two of which are reference water, and the third the sample or a diluti
36、on of it, (or two of which are the sample or a dilution of it, and the third one is reference water), are presented to the selected assessors 3.10 paired test two test samples, one is the sample or a dilution of it, and the other is reference water are presented to the selected assessors 3.11 forced
37、 choice even if the selected assessor is unable to perceive a difference between the two or three samples, the selected assessor shall chose one sample as having the stronger flavour or odour and record his/her choice 3.12 unforced choice selected assessor recording if he/she notes or does not note
38、a difference between the two or three samples 3.13 migration water test water which has been in contact with a test piece under specified conditions EN 1622:2006 (E) 8 4 Principle The odour and flavour of a water sample are quantitatively assessed by a test panel by comparing that sample and/or dilu
39、tions of that sample with a reference water. The odour and flavour of a water sample may also be assessed qualitatively by only one selected assessor or a test panel to detect any abnormal odour and/or flavour. 5 Hazards Care shall be taken to ensure that the samples are safe for selected assessors.
40、 If there is any suspicion of the presence of harmful microorganisms or of toxic substances at a toxic concentration, the samples shall not be tested without further precautions being taken. The selected assessors shall be instructed not to swallow any test sample. In case a toxicity risk is suspect
41、ed, samples should be evaluated for possible risks to the assessors by consideration of previous reports on toxicity tests, made with the sample or samples of similar kind, e.g. by using one of the existing standard methods for aquatic toxicity. In case the risk for presence of human pathogens (bact
42、eria, viruses, parasite eggs) is suspected, it shall be assessed by adequate biological standard methods before conduction of this test. This is not necessary for waters disinfected by chlorinous disinfectants, ozone or UV. 6 Test environment The room used for odour and flavour assessment has to be
43、free from obtrusive draughts and noise and the general environment such that the selected assessors shall perform their task without being influenced by other selected assessors. No air fresheners or room deodorisers shall be used in the room. The room shall be sited away from any activity that coul
44、d generate interfering odours. The temperature of the room shall be maintained with a system for the regulation of temperature at (23 2) C. It is advisable that this room is only used for odour and flavour assessment. Suggestions on the design of suitable facilities are given in ISO 8589. 7 Apparatu
45、s and reagents 7.1 Glassware, reserved solely for TON and TFN assessment. Glassware shall be cleaned separately from other laboratory items and, when not in use, shall be stored in clean conditions in order to avoid accidental contamination. Sample bottles, tasting glasses and volumetric glassware s
46、hall be cleaned before use so that they have no perceptible influence on the result of the assessment. Tasting glasses can be as specified by ISO 3591. NOTE Sample bottles should be of glass and of a suitable capacity. Stoppers should be of glass or polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE) and capable of yieldi
47、ng no headspace in the sample. 7.2 Water bath or incubator, capable of maintaining a homogeneous temperature of (23 2) C. 7.3 Reference water Reference water (3.5) shall be used for rinsing, dilution and reference. EN 1622:2006 (E) 9 NOTE Reference water can be tap water, mineral bottled water, or p
48、repared according to Annex D. Preferably it should be appropriate to the area and where possible similar in mineral character to the type of water being tested. 7.4 Cleaning liquids; use one of the following cleaning liquids for glassware. 7.4.1 Non-perfumed biodegradable laboratory detergent 7.4.2
49、Hydrochloric acid, c(HCl) 2 mol/l. 7.4.3 Hydrogen peroxide, w(H2O2), approximately 3 %. NOTE Other cleaning liquids such as acetic acid can be used before the rinsing procedure of the glassware, provided they yield glassware free from interfering taste and odour. 8 Sampling and sample preservation Collect the samples (with no headspace) in the clean, well stoppered sample bottles (7.1). Keep the samples cool and in the absence of light during transportation and storage. If storage is necessary, st
