1 Scope
This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies the producing apparatuses with a rated
voltage of no greater than 250 V (hereafter referred to as producing apparatuses) that
produce water containing available chlorine through electrolysis of an aqueous solution
containing chloride ions 1).
This Standard is applicable to the apparatuses for producing mainly hypochlorous
acid water which is designated as a food additive. However, it is not applicable to ap-
paratuses that produce specified pesticides (specified agricultural chemicals) 2) or medical
electrical equipment (JIS T 0601-1).
Notes 1) An aqueous solution containing chloride ions refers to drinking water that
originally contained chloride ions or drinking water to which chloride ions
have been added.
2) Specified pesticides (specified agricultural chemicals) are those pesticides
that are defined in Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the revised Agricultural
Chemicals Control Act and specified in No.2 Notification of the Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Ministry of the Environ-
ment.

6.5 Spout
The spout that releases hypochlorous acid water shall be made of materials that
resist corrosion by hypochlorous acid water.
6.7 Enclosure
The enclosure shall have a protection performance conforming to IP22 prescribed in
JIS C 0920 or better. It shall be structured so that it is not influenced by exposure to
the scattering of water supplied to the producing apparatus, hypochlorous acid water or
substance to undergo electrolysis.
7 Test methods
7.1 Reagents
--`,,`,``,`,,,,,,,,``,,`,,``,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
1) For continuous type apparatuses, check whether the release of hypochlorous acid
water from the spout stops. When it does not stop, measure pH and available
chlorine according to the methods described in Annex A.
2) For tank type apparatuses, check the operating state.
b) Change the setting of the amount of supplied test water to the producing appara-
tus with the apparatus in the state of suspension, and then start the operation of
the apparatus.
1) For continuous type apparatuses, operate the producing apparatus with the
amount of supplied water which is two times and half the standard amount to
check the state of release of hypochlorous acid water. When the release of water
from the spout does not stop, measure pH and available chlorine according to the
methods described in Annex A.
2) For tank type apparatuses, operate the producing apparatus with the amount of
supplied water which is half the standard amount to check the operating status
or the activation of warning device.
c) From the state of suspension, start the operation of the apparatus without supply-
ing the substance to undergo electrolysis.
1) For continuous type apparatuses, check the state of water release. When the re-
lease of water from the spout does not stop, measure pH and available chlorine
according to the methods described in Annex A.
2) For tank type apparatuses, check the operating state or the activation of warn-
ing device.
d) Stop the supply of test water to the producing apparatus during operation and con-
firm the operating and water release states. When the release of water from the
spout does not stop, measure pH and available chlorine according to the methods
described in Annex A. This testing does not apply to tank type apparatuses.
e) Stop the supply of the substance to undergo electrolysis to the producing appara-
tus during operation and check the state of water release. When the release of
water from the spout does not stop, measure pH and available chlorine according
to the methods described in Annex A. This testing does not apply to tank type
apparatuses.
--`,,`,``,`,,,,,,,,``,,`,,``,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
a) For continuous type apparatuses, measure the heavy metals in the hypochlorous
acid water collected for 1 min after 60 min of continuous operation, and when the
apparatus is not capable of 60 min of continuous operation, after operation of the
maximum operating time of the apparatus. For the measurement method, refer to
AnnexA.
b) For tank type apparatuses, measure the heavy metals in the hypochlorous acid
water collected after completion of several rounds of operation totaling at least
60 min. For the measurement method, refer to Annex A.
8 Inspection

inspection 5), consisting of the test items as given in the following.
Notes 4) An inspection to judge whether the quality of a producing apparatus sat-
isfies all the characteristics stated in the design.
5) An inspection performed on delivery of a producing apparatus to judge
whether it satisfies the required characteristics.
a) Type inspection The type inspection shall consist of the following test items.
1) Structure (general, water supply part, supply part for substances to undergo elec-
trolysis, electrolysis part, spout, control section and enclosure, and for tank type
apparatuses, water storage part)
2) Performance (performance of control section, performance of electrode)

solve in 100 ml of purified water. Prepare immediately before use.
bacterial count is 2.0 x 10 8 CFU/ml to 1.0 x 109 CFU/ml. Use this as the test bacte-
rial solution. When not immediately using, freeze the solution at 0 °C and use it
within 2 h.
c) Inoculation of test bacterial solution
1) Purified water Pipette accurately 0.1 ml of the test bacterial solution specified
in b) into a test tube containing 9.8 ml of sterilized purified water, and mix thor-
oughly for 30 s. Further, pipette accurately 0.1 ml of the reaction inhibitor speci-
fied in C.4 d) into the test tube, and mix thoroughly to stop the reaction.
2) Hypochlorous acid water Pipette accurately 9.8 ml of the hypochlorous acid
water collected from the producing apparatus into a test tube. Prepare two such
test tubes. Pipette accurately 0.1 ml of the test bacterial solution specified in b)
into each of the test tubes containing 9.8 ml of hypochlorous acid water, and mix
thoroughly for 30 s. Further, pipette accurately 0.1 ml of the reaction inhibitor
specified in C.4 d) into each of the test tubes, and mix thoroughly to stop the
reaction.
d) Measurement of viable bacterial count Pipette accurately 1 ml of the solution
in each of the test tubes in c) into a new test tube containing 9.0 ml of the phos-
phate-buffered physiological saline (pH 6.8 to pH 7.2) specified in C.4 c) and mix
thoroughly. Repeat this procedure until 10-fold dilution series are obtained. Place
1 ml of the undiluted solution and 1 ml of each of the diluted solutions on two ster-
ilized Petri dishes. Add 15 ml to 20 ml of the plate count agar specified in C.4 b)
which has been heated to 46°C to 48 °C to each of these Petri dishes and mix well.
Put covers on the Petri dishes and allow to stand at room temperature. When the
medium has hardened, invert the Petri dishes and culture in the incubator at 35°C
± 1 °C for 40 h to 48 h. After culturing, take the colony count in the dilution series
in which colonies appeared. If no colony formation is observed in any of the agar
jelly plates, record the bacterial count as 1 x 100 CFU/ml, and measurement result
as "not detected."
NOTE: Refer to literatures [1, 2] in bibliography for measurement method of
viable bacterial count.
