What is BS EN 14095 - Requirements of electrolytic treatment systems inside buildings about?
BS EN 14095 is a European Standard on water conditioning with electrolytic treatment systems. The main aim of BS EN 14095 is to provide the best industry safety, performance and testing requirements such that the water conditioning equipment inside buildings are safe, effective and reliable for use, and play a positive role in the provision of clean water for domestic consumption.
BS EN 14095 applies to electrolytic dosing systems for conditioning water intended for human consumption inside buildings and based on dissolution of aluminium anodes (with imposed DC current).
BS EN 14095 specifies constructional (but not dimensional) and operational requirements.
BS EN 14095 describes relevant methods for testing performance and safety.
BS EN 14095 only concerns units which are permanently connected to the mains supply.
Who is BS EN 14095 - Requirements of electrolytic treatment systems inside buildings for?
BS EN 14095 on requirements of electrolytic treatment systems inside buildings is useful for:
- Water conditioning equipment manufacturers
- Electrolytic treatment system manufacturers
- Anyone involved in commissioning, assembling and operation of electrolytic treatment systems
- Domestic wastewater treatment plants
- Building owners/management authorities
- Engineers
- Quality control and testing personnel
- Local bodies
Why should you use BS EN 14095 - Requirements of electrolytic treatment systems inside buildings?
With an increase in pollution and the ever-growing need for energy and food, tremendous advancements have been made when it comes to waste water recycling and resource recovery. Electrolysis-based water treatment is one such processes that ensures contaminants are removed from water by passing electrical current through specially designed electrodes. Since these systems use an aluminium anode for the transfer of charges through the fluid medium, proper safety protocols need to be followed for it to be safe and effective at the point of use.
BS EN 14095 covers best industry guidance on materials design and requirements along with performance requirements for DC generators and terminals.
BS EN 14095 also provides switchboard test and DC generator test – procedures as well as pressure test and insulation tests for terminals, to demonstrate whether your electrolytic dosing systems are fit for purpose.
Thus, if you are a manufacturer of electrolytic treatment systems, complying with BS EN 14095 can ensure your products contribute to the supply of clean and uncontaminated water in buildings.
