Mineral water implementation standards

The implementation standard for mineral water is GB8537.

According to the "National Standard for Drinking Natural Mineral Water", the product classification, inspection methods, inspection rules, and labeling, packaging, transportation and storage requirements for the production of drinking natural mineral water are very clean, hygienic, safe and secure. The implementation standard for mineral water is GB8537. Only those with this word are true natural mineral water.

The national standard "Drinking Natural Mineral Water", which is mainly implemented by natural mineral water, was formed in 1995, and the total number of bacterial colonies in filled products is required to be less than 50 units per milliliter. In order to meet the standards, mineral water companies generally use the backward ozone sterilization process that has long been eliminated internationally, which easily produces bromate. This revision indicates that the national standard for mineral water will be in line with the international mineral water standard in terms of bromate limits.

Mineral water safety instructions

1. Bottled water should be cleaner and safer than tap water, but in the "Hygienic Standards for Barrel (Bottled) Drinking Water" (GB19298-2003) , there are only 21 water quality indicators, far less than the 106 items in the national tap water standard (drinking water hygiene standard GB5749-2006). Toxicological indicators such as mercury, silver, carbon tetrachloride, and formaldehyde, as well as more common water quality indicators such as pH value and hardness, do not appear in the national standards for bottled water.

2. In terms of microorganisms, including the local standards for bottled drinking natural spring water in Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan provinces, the total coliform limit is MPN/100ml≤3, while the national standard for "mineral water" is MPN/100ml≤0. Not only are these landmarks inferior to natural mineral water, they are even inferior to tap water.
