EN 12873 Effect of Materials on Water for Human Consumption - Migration Impact Test

This European standard is applicable to products intended for use under various conditions for the transport and storage of water for human consumption, including raw water for the production of water for human consumption. It covers the extraction of substances from finished products with water.

Regarding the potential adverse effects of the materials on the quality of water intended for human consumption, it should be noted that relevant national regulations are in force pending the adoption of verifiable European acceptance criteria.

This European standard has been prepared to describe a test method for determining the migration of substances from products made of or combined with organic and vitreous (porcelain/glassy enamel) materials for use in contact with water for human consumption.

Each test piece is subjected to a certain stagnation and prewash treatment. In practice, the surface of the test piece exposed to water intended for human consumption is brought into contact with the test water during at least three consecutive periods of migration.
