European foreword
This document (EN 15074:2026) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 164 “Water
Supply”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2026, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2026.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 15074:2014.
— proposed harmonized classification of ozone according to EU CLP regulation is added;
— reference for use of ozone is made to EU BPR and EU REACH regulation;
— new threshold limit for ozone in air;
— reference is made to EN 17971, standard for ozone generation devices. Device related matters are
shifted to EN 17971, e.g. operational safety of the installation room. Matters of the chemical ozone
itself remain within this standard;
— the use of ozone in pool water treatment is specified.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the United

Introduction
In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of water for swimming pools, caused by the product
covered by this document, it provides no information as to whether the product may be used without
restriction in any of the Member States of the EU or EFTA.
NOTE While awaiting the adoption of verifiable European criteria, attention is drawn to national regulations.
Ozone is a biocidal product according to the regulation (EU) No 528/2012 [1]. The use of ozone for
disinfection purposes falls under the provisions of the BPR, requiring access by the user to a data set for
the product authorization of ozone under the BPR. This access may be achieved directly or indirectly
e.g. via the manufacturers’ authorization for the ozone generated by their devices.
Users of in situ generated ozone should verify with their device manufacturer, if they can use ozone in
accordance to his product authorization for the disinfection of swimming pool water (approved [2]
under the BPR for public and private/domestic use).
Non biocidal use of ozone, e.g. for oxidative purposes, falls under the provisions of the REACH Regulation
[3]. The use of ozone for non-biocidal purposes requires individual access by the user to the data set
provided for the authorization of ozone under REACH.
NOTE Conformity with the European Standard does not confer or imply authorization of the products in any
of the Member States of the EU or EFTA. The use of the product covered by this document is subject to regulation
or control by National Authorities.
