It describes the characteristics of sodiu
24、m chloride used in electrochlorinator systems and specifies the requirements and the corresponding test methods for sodium chloride used in electrochlorinator systems. It gives information on its use in swimming water treatment. It also determines the rules relating to safe handling and use (see Ann
25、ex A). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Under certain conditions, a sodium chloride solution can cause corrosion of metallic surfaces. 4 Purity criteria 4.1 General This European Standard specifies the minim
35、um purity requirements for sodium chloride for swimming-pool chlorine generators. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when neces
36、sary to relevant authorities. Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, b
37、y-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 3) 100 kPa = 1 bar.
