Code of Practice

The bottled water industry routinely employs additional measures to further the protection of its product, from the source of the water to the packaging of it.

These requirements are laid out in the Bottled Water Code of Practice.

One important measure is the annual facility inspection. International Bottled Water Association members are required to undergo an annual, mandatory plant inspection.  These inspections are conducted by an outside third-party organization and assess compliance with all applicable regulations. IBWA currently contracts the services of NSF International and Underwriters Laboratories (UL), independent, highly qualified technical auditing and compliance firms, to perform these comprehensive audits.
