Hygiene and safety evaluation of chemical treatment agents for drinking water
1.Scope
This document specifies the hygiene and safety requirements for chemical treatment agents for drinking water and describes the corresponding testing methods.
This document applies to applications such as coagulation, flocculation, reduction, pH adjustment, scale inhibition, fluorination, disinfection, oxidation, softening, algae removal, defluorination, and dechlorination.
Hygiene and safety evaluation of chemical treatment agents for drinking water.

3.Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
Evaluation dose
Dosage levels used for evaluating the health and safety of chemical treatment agents for drinking water.
Note. The evaluation dose is the maximum dosage of the chemical treatment agent under normal use conditions.
3.2
packaged sample
Samples that are pre-packaged in quantitative quantities and have uniform mass or volume markings within a certain quantitative limit.
3.3
bulk sample
Non-prepackaged samples.
4.Hygiene and safety requirements
4.1 Sensory characteristics requirements
When chemical treatment agents for drinking water are used at the prescribed dosage, the sensory properties of the treated water should meet the requirements of GB 5749.
4.2 Specific Substance Classifications and Requirements
4.2.1 Specific substances are divided into 4 categories.
a) Metals and metalloids. arsenic, cadmium, total chromium, lead, mercury, silver, antimony, barium, beryllium, selenium, thallium, copper;
b) Inorganic substances. depend on the product's raw materials, formulation, and manufacturing process;
c) Organic matter. depends on the product's raw materials, formulation, and manufacturing process;
d) Radioactive materials. Total alpha radioactivity and total beta radioactivity are determined for products made directly from minerals.
4.2.2 Specific requirements for substances are as follows.
a) Specific substances in drinking water chemical treatment agents shall be tested according to the test methods specified in Chapter 5, and the corresponding detection indicators shall be as follows.
Appendix A;
b) When a specific substance introduced into drinking water by chemical treatment agents is a substance specified in GB 5749, the limit value of that substance shall be specified.
It should be 10% of the limit specified in GB 5749, except for specific substances that are otherwise specified;
c) When specific substances introduced into drinking water by chemical treatment agents are not specified in GB 5749, relevant domestic and international standards shall apply.
For accurate determination, the limit for this substance should be 10% of the limit in relevant domestic and international standards, except for specific substances as otherwise specified.

5.Test methods
5.1 Sample Collection and Preservation
5.1.1 Collection of solid/liquid samples
5.1.1.1 Collection of Bulk Samples
In the storage container of bulk samples, approximately 100 mL or 100 g samples were collected from different depths and locations evenly distributed within the container.
Five independent samples were thoroughly mixed to form a total of approximately 500 mL or 500 g of mixed sample. Sample collection information was recorded.
5.1.1.2 Collection of Packaging Samples
For samples with intact packaging, a mixed sample can be collected from the same batch of packaged samples. The number of packages collected is approximately equal to the number of packages in the batch.
5% of the quantity of each package, with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15.If there are fewer than 5 packages, all packages should be sampled. (Based on package size...)
Smaller, combine all collected packaged samples into one sample and then collect them using the same method as bulk samples; or use a different method for collecting all packaged samples.
5.1.1.1 Sample collection method. Thoroughly mix the mixed samples collected from each package into one sample. Record the sample collection information.
5.1.2 Preservation of Solid/Liquid Samples
The mixed sample collected in 5.1.1.1 or 5.1.1.2 shall be aliquoted into three clean, sealed, and dry glass containers or suitable containers.
The containers for each sample are labeled with the sample name, batch number, maximum dosage, active ingredient content, storage conditions, collection date, and collection method.
The person in charge of the sample is responsible for recording and storing relevant sampling information, including the manufacturer, place of origin, and sample packaging type. One sample is used for...
The analysis was performed, and two additional samples were preserved for testing (if necessary), with a shelf life of one year (for short-expiration chemical treatments, preserve until expiration).
5.1.3 Gas Sample Collection and Preservation
Two representative samples were collected simultaneously using gas sampling tubes. Sample collection was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions and safety protocols.
The container should be labeled with the sample name, batch number, maximum dosage, active ingredient content, storage conditions, collection date, and the person in charge of sampling. At the same time, proper labeling should be provided.
Record and preserve sampling information such as the corresponding manufacturer, place of origin, and sample packaging type.
