Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid.
According to species in solution, it SIST is an EN oxidizing
902:2016 agent (E° = 1,776 V) or a reducing agent
(E ° = 0,682 V). https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/fb13cbb8-ba76-4d2c-a874-

Oxidizing agent:
H2O2 + 2H+ + 2e- ––- > 2H2O

Reducing agent:
H2O2 ––- > O2 + 2H+ + 2e-

NOTE 1 It can be activated by ultraviolet light, ozone or metals to generate free radicals.

NOTE 2 Singlet oxygen can be obtained by reaction of hydrogen peroxide with hypochlorite ion.

4 Purity criteria
4.1 General

This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for hydrogen peroxide used for the
treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present
in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be
present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities.
Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of
appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw
water quality, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not
stated in this product standard.

9
 SIST EN 902:2016

EN 902:2016 (E)

Limits have been given for impurities and chemicals parameters where these are likely to be present in
significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process
or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this
shall be notified to the user.
4.2 Composition of commercial product

The hydrogen peroxide is usually available in concentrated solution with concentration within the
range of mass fraction of 20 % to 70 %. Diluted products are also available.
The concentration of hydrogen peroxide shall be equal to or greater than the manufacturer specified
value.
4.3 Impurities and main by-products

Not applicable.
4.4 Chemical parameters

The product shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 7.
