Safe drinking water
How do you ensure how safe is the drinking water that
you buy?
According to the Food Safety and
Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the highest regulatory body in the country,
no person should manufacture or sell ‘packaged drinking water’ without the
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification mark.
The Bureau of Indian Standards has
laid down specific guidelines for the production and sale of packaged drinking
water.
Units manufacturing packaged
drinking water do not maintain the required standards to purify water. And the
water is simply packaged and sold, without any processing.
In many cases, equipment such as
reverse osmosis plants and ultraviolet filtration units were found in a state
of disrepair.
So be cautioned about packaged
drinking water. Always check for the BIS certification mark on the packaged
drinking water before you buy and drink it.
