Water is the one product every food business, utility and inspector touches daily — yet its rules are scattered across half a dozen standards written for different products, different decades and different agencies. One team checks chlorine residuals against a network standard, another audits a bottling plant against a packaging code, and a tanker rolls between them governed by a vehicle regulation nobody on either team has read. That fragmentation is exactly where inspection findings, failed audits and public-health risk begin.
One Molecule, Four States of Trust
Drinking water behaves differently depending on how it reaches people. A network defends itself continuously with a travelling disinfectant residual; a sealed bottle has only what it had at the moment of sealing; natural mineral water is defined by what must never be done to it; and a road tanker must survive both hygiene rules and physics. Treating these as one subject — or ignoring the differences — is how gaps open.
What the International Standards Require
The AGS water pack normalizes the real source instruments: UAE.S GSO 1025:2014 for bottled drinking water, UAE.S GSO 987:2021 for natural mineral water, UAE.S GSO 149:2021 for unbottled network supply, UAE.S/GSO 2025:2010 for drinking water tankers and the PHC-C-15 general water code — all aligned with the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality and Codex texts including CXS 227 and CXS 108. Source approval, validated treatment trains, chlorination critical limits, monthly reporting and tank construction are all covered, clause by clause.
Five Documents, One Coherent System
Instead of buying and reconciling five standards, you get one internally consistent library with shared definitions, document control and plain-language operating guidance:
- Water — General Code (International Edition)
- Unbottled Drinking Water (International Edition)
- Bottled Drinking Water (International Edition)
- Natural Mineral Water (International Edition)
- Drinking Water Tanker (International Edition)
