BS EN 12671: Determination of Chlorine Dioxide in Biocidal Products

The EN 12671 standard includes the properties of chlorine dioxide produced on site, used for the treatment of water for human consumption, and the relevant test methods for chlorine dioxide. Within the scope of the standard, it also specifies the rules for its use in water treatment and the safe handling and use of chlorine dioxide produced in the field.

Chlorine dioxide is actually used as a bleach. As a disinfectant, it works even at low concentrations. Chlorine dioxide is used in the electronics industry, petroleum industry, textile and wax bleaching. Apart from these areas, chlorine dioxide is also used for sterilizing medical and laboratory equipment, surfaces, rooms or various instruments.

Chlorine dioxide is a strong oxidizer. Therefore, it effectively kills fungi, bacteria and viruses. You can get rid of pathogenic microorganisms in the environment by using chlorine dioxide. It prevents the formation of biofilm and is widely used as a disinfectant.
