15、 6920 describes a method designed to assess the ability of a product to impart any noticeable colour or turbidity to water intended for human consumption. The method is applicable to all types of non-metallic product used in contact with water intended for human consumption. NOTEUnder the requiremen
16、ts of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations (Regulation 25) and the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Clause 2 of Schedule 2), the National Regulator may specify additional provisions in some cases and will assess the significance of the results obtained. 2 Normative references The f
17、ollowing normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this section of BS 6920.

BS EN ISO 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this section of BS 6920, the following definitions apply. 3.1 standard unit (of
20、 colour) (in mg/l Pt) the colour produced by a solution containing 1 mg of platinum per litre in the form of hydrogen hexachloroplatinate(IV), in the presence of 2 mg of cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate per litre NOTEThe scale derived from this standard unit is sometimes called the Hazen scale or th
21、e Pt/Co scale. 3.2 turbidity reduction of transparency of a liquid caused by the presence of undissolved matter NOTEThis definition is taken from BS 6068-2.13:1994. 4 Principle The sample of the product is immersed in water for 24 h and the colour and turbidity of the water are then measured. If any
22、 noticeable colour or turbidity is observed in the water, the same sample is immersed in test water for a further six sequential extraction periods, including one 72 h period and concluding with a 24 h period, using fresh test water for each period. The water from the final immersion period is measu
23、red and if any noticeable colour or turbidity is observed in the water then a further two samples are subjected to the same procedure. NOTEFlow diagram showing the sequence of the test procedures is given in annex A. 5 Reagents 5.1 Test water, distilled or deionized water conforming to grade 3 of BS
24、 EN ISO 3696. The following shall also apply. a) The colour of the water shall be less than 5 standard units (of colour) mg/l Pt when determined in accordance with BS 6068-2.22:1995, section 4. b) The turbidity of the water shall be less than 1 formazine nephelometric unit (FNU) when determined in a
25、ccordance with BS 6068-2.13:1994, 3.3. 5.2 Colour matching solutions, prepared following the instructions given in BS 6068-2.22:1995, 4.3. 5.3 Formazine solutions, prepared following the instructions given in BS 6068-2.13. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Laboratory ware, cleaned thoroughly using an aqueous solution
26、 of a biodegradable laboratory detergent followed by thorough rinsing with test water (5.1). 6.2 Test containers, consisting of borosilicate glass beakers calibrated for a capacity as given in BS 6920-2.1:2000, 5.1.2. 6.3 Colour measurement apparatus, as specified in BS 6068-2.22:1995, 4.4. 6.4 Incu
27、bator, capable of maintaining a temperature of (231) 8C. 6.5 Turbidity measurement apparatus, consisting of a nephelometer with measuring cells of glass and with a tungsten lamp, operated at between 85 % and 100 % of its rated voltage, as the light source. The total distance travelled by the inciden
28、t plus scattered light within the water sample shall not exceed 100 mm. The angle of light acceptance by the detector of the nephelometer shall not exceed 308 and it shall be centred at right angles to the incident light path. 2 BSI 05-2000 BS 6920-2.3:2000 7 Samples 7.1 General Except as given in 7
29、.2 and 7.3, samples shall conform to all the pertinent requirements given in BS 6920-2.1. 7.2 Reference materials These are not required. 7.3 Cementitious materials Since the test water used in this method has an aggressivity index of less than 12, precondition all samples made from cementitious mat
30、erials in accordance with BS 6920-2.1:2000, 5.2.8. 8 Test procedure 8.1 Extraction procedure The extractions periods shall be consecutive and without a break; if a break in the sequence does occur repeat the sequence using fresh samples. 8.1.1 Sample preparation On the same day as testing is to star
31、t, rinse the sample in the test water (5.1) for 10 min. 8.1.2 First extract Place each sample in a separate clean container (6.2). In addition, with each batch of test samples, include one empty container as a blank test. Add to the container sufficient test water (5.1) to reach the calibration mark
32、 given in BS 6920-2.1:2000, 5.1.2. Seal each container with a fresh piece of aluminium foil. If the density of the sample is less than that of water, ensure the sample is kept totally submerged in the test water for the duration of the test by using glass-encapsulated weights. Store the containers a
33、t (232) 8C for (241) h in an incubator (6.4). Then remove portions of water from each container and measure their colour and turbidity in accordance with 8.2. 8.1.3 Further extracts If the first extract (8.1.2) shows either an increase in colour of greater than 5 standard units (of colour) mg/l Pt o
34、r an increase in its turbidity of greater than 0.5 FNU, drain the test water from each test container, including the blank, and refill to the same calibration mark with fresh test water and repeat the extraction for a further 24 h immersion period. Repeat the extraction for a further six sequential
35、periods, including one 72 h period and concluding with a 24 h period, using fresh test water for each period. Measure the colour and turbidity of portions of water withdrawn from the final extracts. If the final extract shows either an increase in colour of greater than 5 standard units (of colour)
36、mg/l Pt or an increase in its turbidity of greater than 0.5 FNU, repeat the procedure described in 8.1.1, 8.1.2 and 8.1.3 using two further untested samples. 8.2 Measurement of colour and turbidity Measure the colour of each extract using the method described in BS 6068-2.22:1995, section 4. Measure
37、 the turbidity of each extract using the method described in BS 6068-2.13:1994, 3.3. Report the results in accordance with clause 9. NOTE 1For the measurement of colour, the method described in BS 6068-2.22:1995, section 4 is used in preference to that specified in BS 6068-2.22:1995, section 3, sinc
38、e some materials impart to water colours which show absorption at wavelengths other than 436 nm. If an increase in turbidity occurs between the first extract (8.1.2) and the final extracts (8.1.3), then this is possibly due to microbial growth. Confirm this effect by carrying out a microscopic exami
39、nation for organisms on the surfaces of the samples. However, if the product has been examined by the method described in BS 6920-2.4 and the result did not conform to BS 6920-1:2000, clause 6, then this suffices for confirmation that the increase in turbidity is due to microbial growth. NOTE 2Do no
40、t report these turbidity results as they are due to microbial growth. Repeat the test using fresh samples, sterile containers and sterile test water. Prewash the samples in sterile test water before starting the test. 9 Expression of results Subtract the value obtained for the blank from each value
41、obtained from a test container. If three samples of the same product have been tested, calculate the arithmetic mean of the values obtained from each of these three test containers. Subtract the value obtained for the blank from the arithmetic mean. Express the resultant values for colour as describ
42、ed in BS 6068-2.22:1995, 4.7, and for turbidity as described in BS 6068-2.13:1994, 3.3. 10 Test report 10.1 General The test report shall include the following particulars: a title (e.g. Test Report) and the date of issue of the report; a reference to this British Standard, i.e. BS 6920-2.3; name an
43、d address of laboratory, and location where the tests were carried out if different from the address of the laboratory; unique identification of the test report (such as serial number), and on each page an identification in order to ensure that the page is recognized as a part of the test report, an
44、d a clear identification of the end of the test report; BSI 05-20003 BS 6920-2.3:2000 name and address of the client placing the order; description and unambiguous identification of the item(s) tested this shall meet the minimum requirements set out in BS 6920-2.1:2000, clause 9; reference to any sa
45、mpling or sample preparation procedures used by the laboratory, or other bodies and where appropriate, chain of custody details where these are relevant; NOTEIn the case of site applied products include all the requirements in accordance with BS 6920-2.1:2000, 9.5. date of receipt of test item(s) an
46、d date(s) of performance of the tests undertaken; deviations from, additions to or exclusions from the test method; the test results, expressed in accordance with clause 9 (including units of measurement), from the first extract and, if undertaken, from the final extracts; a statement of conformity/
47、nonconformity with the test requirements of BS 6920-1:2000, clause 5; the name(s), function(s) and signature(s) or equivalent identification of person(s) authorizing the test report; a statement to the effect that the results relate only to the items tested, and that the test report shall not be rep
48、roduced except in full, without written approval of the laboratory. When the test report contains results of tests performed by subcontractors, these shall be clearly identified. When reports are reissued to take into account errors/omissions, results of additional tests or for another reason one of
49、 two approaches shall be adopted: a) issue an additional test report containing the additional information or corrections only and clearly marked Supplement to Test Report, Reference.; b) issue a complete amended report (usually the preferred option) with a statement added below the original date of issue of the report stating: Reissued with correction/additional data/etc (as appropriate):(date). NOTEInclude all previous results for the tested item(s) in any reissued reports containing the results of additional tests. When
