What is BS EN 14395-1 - Influence of organic materials on water about?
BS EN 14395-1 specifies a test method for determining the organoleptic properties (odour, flavour, colour and turbidity) of test waters after their contact with products made from organic materials used in storage systems (tanks, reservoirs, ancillaries and their coatings both for factory and site applied products). The test method described in BS EN 14395-1 is applicable to products to be used under various conditions for the storage of water intended for human consumption and raw water used for the manufacture of water intended for human consumption.
BS EN 14395-1 specifies the test method comprising a set of procedures with and without a disinfection pretreatment and possible temperatures for the test waters. The use of the disinfection pretreatment and the choice of the test temperature are dependent on the relevant national regulations and/or the system or product standards.
Note 1: Products containing cementitious materials are not covered by BS EN 14395-1.
Note 2: Coatings or protective layers on products which are not intended to be in contact with these types of waters are not covered by BS EN 14395-1.

Why should you use BS EN 14395-1 - Influence of organic materials on water?
Organic materials enter the environment via land, air, or water and they end up in the hydrological cycle and in groundwater, lakes, and rivers. From there they inevitably mix with drinking water sources.
BS EN 14395-1 discusses terms and definitions that depict a user-friendly idea of organic materials. BS EN 14395-1 walks users through the method of the 23 °C test procedure. BS EN 14395-1 also provides users with an elevated temperature test procedure which helps determine the TON and TFN along with the colour and turbidity of the test water sample. The guidelines in BS EN 14395-1 help you assess the influence of organic materials on water that enables you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
