About IS 14724

IS 14724:1999 is the Indian Standard for Water Purifiers with Ultra-violet Disinfection. It was published by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1999.

 

The standard specifies the requirements for the design, materials, construction, performance, testing, labeling, and packaging of water purifiers with UV disinfection. It is applicable to all manufacturers, importers, and sellers of these systems in India.

 

The purpose of the standard is to ensure that water purifiers with UV disinfection are safe and effective for producing drinking water that meets the Indian drinking water standards. UV disinfection is a process that uses ultraviolet light to kill microorganisms in water. It is a popular method of water purification because it is effective at killing a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and cysts.

 

IS 14724:1999 is an important standard for ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water from UV water purifiers in India. It is also a valuable resource for consumers who are considering purchasing or using an UV water purifier.

Here are some of the key requirements of IS 14724:1999:
  • The UV lamp must be able to produce a UV dose of at least 16 mJ/cm² at a distance of 1 cm from the lamp.
  • The UV lamp must be enclosed in a chamber that is made of a material that is transparent to UV light.
  • The UV chamber must be designed to prevent the water from bypassing the UV lamp.
  • The water purifier must be equipped with a system to monitor the UV lamp and to shut off the water flow if the lamp fails.
  • The water purifier must be labeled with information about the UV lamp, such as its type, power rating, and operating life.
