BS EN 1420 is a European standard on the influence of organic materials on water intended for human consumption that discusses the determination of odour and flavour assessment of water in piping systems to ensure it is safe for consumption.
BS EN 1420 specifies a procedure for obtaining migration water to determine odour and flavour for products made from organic materials intended to come in contact with water for human consumption (drinking water) and used in piping systems. Such products include pipes, fittings, ancillaries, and coatings.
BS EN 1420 applies to products to be used under various conditions for the transport, storage and distribution of water intended for human consumption and raw water used for the manufacture of water intended for human consumption.
BS EN 1420 specifies a test method comprising of a set of procedures.
BS EN 1420 on the determination of odour and flavour assessment of water in piping systems is useful for:
In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of the water intended for human consumption, arising from contact with materials used for conveying and distribution, it is recalled minding that, national regulations remain in force.
BS EN 1420 provides you with apparatus, sampling, transport, storage, and preparation of test pieces, preparation of reagents and apparatus, pre-treatment of test pieces, test procedure, and much more.
The test methods and procedures provided by BS EN 1420 assist you in the determination of odor and flavor of water in piping systems and ensure reducing the risk of severe health issues.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 1420, you can enhance the efficacy of the water and manufacture a standardized product.
BS EN 1420:2016 supersedes EN 1420-1:1999, which is withdrawn. BS EN 1420:2016 has made some technical changes compared to the previous edition EN 1420-1:1999. These include:
