Influence of cement based products on water intended for human consumption - Test methods - Part 2: Influence of site-applied cement based materials and associated non-cement based products/materials on organoleptic parameters and migration of organic substances (TOC)

Scope

This document specifies a method to determine the influence of site-applied cement based materials and associated non-cement based products/materials (including pre-packaged mortars) on the odour, flavour, colour, turbidity and total organic carbon (TOC) of test waters after contact with the products.
This document is applicable to site-applied or site-formed cement based materials intended to be used for the transport and storage of water intended for human consumption, including raw water used for the production of drinking water. It is also applicable to individual constituents of cement based products/materials and to associated non-cement based products/materials.
Site-applied or site-formed cement based materials which cannot be cast as cubes or prisms e.g. some spray applied systems, should be tested as factory made cement based products according to EN 14944−1.
NOTE Tests with the specified test water will not necessarily be representative of materials used in different kinds of waters and especially very soft waters.
