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. NOTE Users of the product should check national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water for swimming pools, taking into account water quality, required dosage, and contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not stated in the product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemical 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 other impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 4.2 Composition of commercial product Calcium hypochlorite is available in powder, granular or tablet form with a minimum concentration of mass fraction 65,5 % calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO) 2 ) (equivalent to an available active chlorine content in mass fraction of at least 65 %) at the time of delivery by the producer. The concentration of calcium hypochlorite shall be equal to or greater than the value specified by the manufacturer....
