- Purity and impurities: Requirements for main product composition and limits for relevant impurities and by‑products.
- Test methods & sampling: Standardised sampling (ISO-based methods) and analytical procedures, including determination of available chlorine (main active constituent) and methods for impurities (e.g., arsenic, antimony, selenium by hydride AAS as detailed in Annex C).
- Labelling, transport & storage: Labelling in accordance with current EU chemicals regulation, transportation rules, packaging/marking and storage best practices, including incompatibilities and long‑term stability considerations.
- Safety & emergency procedures: Normative Annex B covers safe handling, first aid, spill response and firefighting guidance for emergency responders and handlers.
- Normative references: Cross-references to EN 1233, EN ISO 12846, EN ISO 3696, ISO sampling standards and ISO 8288 for related analytical and sampling methods.

(1) where c1 is the concentration, expressed in moles per litre, of the potassium iodate standard reference solution [c(1/6 KIO3) = 0,1 mol/l]; V is the volume, in millilitres, of the sodium thiosulfate standard volumetric solution used for the standardization (V = 10 ml); V1 is the volume, in millilitres, of potassium iodate standard reference solution used in the titration. 5.2.1.2.4 Starch solution, mass fraction1 % . Make a slurry with (1 ± 0,1) g starch and (5 ± 1) ml water. Add (90 ± 5) ml boiling water to the slurry. Stir to dissolve it and cool the solution. This solution needs refrigeration to avoid the decomposition of the starch which results in a vague end point. Keep the solution cool and use it within one week. NOTE Commercial indicators for iodine titration exist and may be used in place of the specified starch solution provided that their efficiency has been previously tested. 5.2.1.3 Apparatus Ordinary laboratory apparatus and glassware. 5.2.1.4 Procedure 5.2.1.4.1 Test portion Weigh, to the nearest 0,1 mg, 0,25 g of the laboratory sample (m0) into a tared stoppered weighing bottle. 5.2.1.4.2 Determination Transfer the test portion to a 200 ml volumetric flask. Add 10 ml of water and 10 ml of glacial acetic acid (5.2.1.2.2), stir for 5 min and then add 100 ml of water and 2 g of potassium iodide (5.2.1.2.1), and mix to dissolve and wait 10 min. Titrate with the sodium thiosulfate standard volumetric solution (5.2.1.2.3) to a light yellow colour. Add 5 ml of the starch solution (5.2.1.2.4) and continue titration to the disappearance of the blue black colour. Record the volume (V1) of the sodium thiosulfate standard volumetric solution used.
