No consumer can taste a treatment failure in bottled water, so the plant has to be able to show one never happened.
Overview
A 50-chapter master guideline for bottled and packaged drinking water plants, supplied as a single reference document and aligned with Codex CXS 227-2001 and CXC 48-2001, the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality and ISO 22000. It sets out the five sections of the plant, holds the packing section as a controlled area, and takes the water chain in order from source protection to sealed container, closing on the complete specification of the packed water. Six annexes carry the water quality tables, the four monitoring points, an inspection checklist and a Codex and ISO mapping.
What it covers
- Source assessment and protection, and transport and storage of water under a chlorine sterilisation regime
- Multiple-barrier treatment, disinfection, the protozoan barrier and disinfection by-products
- The closed-cycle packing section run as a controlled area
- Containers, closures and returnable containers — the container treated as an ingredient
- Physical, chemical, radiological and microbiological characteristics of the packed water, with cleanliness and CIP, laboratory verification sampling, labelling and prohibited claims
Who it's for
Bottled water producers, plant engineers, laboratory and QA staff, and the food and water authorities responsible for licensing and monitoring packaged water factories. It suits a licence renewal, a source change or a monitoring visit, and it gives everyone from the borehole to the label one agreed technical baseline.
