The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for NaF, including physical, chemical, sampling, packaging, shipping, and testing requirements. This standard can be referenced in documents for purchasing and receiving NaF and can be used as a guide for testing the physical and chemical properties of NaF samples. The stipulations of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and then only to NaF used in the treatment of potable water.<\/p>\n

| 7<\/td>\n | Foreword I.\tIntroduction. I.A.\tBackground.\u2003Community water fluoridation is an effective, safe, and relatively inexpensive way to prevent tooth decay. Sodium fluoride (NaF) is one of several fluoride compounds presently being added to drinking water to reduce the incidence of denta I.B.\tHistory.\u2003The AWWA Standard for Sodium Fluoride was tentatively approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on July 21, 1950. Subsequent revisions to ANSI\/AWWA B701 were approved on May 15, 1960; Jan. 24, 1971; Jan. 28, 1978; Jan. 30, 1984; Jan. 29, 1989; <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 8<\/td>\n | I.C.\tAcceptance.\u2003Products that are covered by this standard should have certification in accordance with NSF\/ANSI Standard 60 and documentation on conformational testing to ANSI\/AWWA B701 criteria. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 9<\/td>\n | II.\tSpecial Issues. II.A.\tStorage and Handling Precautions.\u2003NaF chemicals must be stored in a clean, dry location that is well ventilated. NaF has a tendency to compact or cake when exposed to moisture, when bags are stacked too high, or during long periods of storage. Bags <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 10<\/td>\n | II.B.\tUpflow-Type Saturator Operations.\u2003The only fluoride product suitable for use in a saturator is NaF. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 12<\/td>\n | III.\tUse of This Standard.\u2003It is the responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard to determine that the products described in that standard are suitable for use in the particular application being considered. III.A.\tPurchaser Options and Alternatives.\u2003The following information should be provided by the purchaser. III.B.\tModification to Standard.\u2003Any modification of the provisions, definitions, or terminology in this standard must be provided by the purchaser. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
