Scope

This European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the migration of substances from ion exchange and adsorbent resin materials for use in contact with water intended for human consumption.Resins comprise synthetic organic macromolecular materials.The standard is applicable to resins of the following types:- Ion exchange resins: used to modify the composition of water (e.g. softening by removal of calcium ions). They can be in either an anionic or cationic state.- Adsorbent resins: used to lower the concentration of undesirable substances (usually organic pollutants) from water. They are used in a neutral state.
