Where the regulation applies

The regulation covers packaged drinking water, including natural mineral water. Source, treatment and declared purpose determine the category and applicable assessment procedure.

What the regulation covers

Controls address microbiological, chemical and radiological safety. Mineral composition, preservation during storage and substantiation of label information are reviewed.

Examples of products and facilities

  • natural drinking water
  • treated drinking water
  • natural table mineral water
  • therapeutic-table mineral water
  • water for infant and child nutrition
  • artificially mineralised water

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK reviews source records, treatment processes, test results and label artwork and helps identify the assessment route and prepare the required documentation.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
