EN 15664-2 Effect of Metallic Materials on Water for Human Consumption - Dynamic Hardware Testing for Evaluation of Metal Release - Part 2: Test Waters

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 15664-2 test. This European standard defines requirements for test waters used in dynamic test equipment defined in EN 15664-1.

EN 15664-2 Effect of Metallic Materials on Water for Human Consumption - Dynamic Hardware Testing for Evaluation of Metal Release - Part 2: Test Waters

This standard specifies test waters when the test procedure is used for:

  • Evaluate a material for approval as a reference material for a material category;
  • Evaluate a material for approval through comparative testing;
  • To obtain data on the interaction of local water with a material.

Local waters used for test waters are not treated with corrosion inhibitors.

The test method given in part 15664 of EN 1 is designed to provide information on the release of metals over time from metallic materials into drinking water. The test is based on a program where transitional flow and stagnation periods alternate once in a rig simulating conditions in a local distribution system.

To evaluate a new material category, it is necessary to test the candidate reference material in several waters. This group of water represents a set of conditions of conditions that can be realistically observed as extreme conditions in the field. The test waters described in this part of EN 15664 are based on an overview of drinking water qualities in Europe and take into account available information on the dependence of metal release on water qualities.

For comparative tests, a local potable water should be used, provided the water is suitably corrosive. This means that the metal release rates of the elements under investigation must be high enough to result in metal concentrations for a valid comparison to be made.
