DEFINITIONS PACKAGED DRINKING WATER (OTHER THAN PACKAGED NATURAL MINERAL WATER)
Provided that sea water, before being subjected to the above treatments, shall be subjected to desalination and related processes. It shall be filled in sealed containers of various compositions, forms and capacities that is suitable for direct consumption without further treatment. In case remineralization is a part of the treatment process, the ingredients used shall be food grade quality and conform to the requirements of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and the Rules framed thereunder.

Indian Standard - Packaged natural mineral water) Specification (Second Revision) This standard was published in 1992. In preparing this standard, assistance had been derived from EEC Directive, 80/778/EEC relating to the quality of water intended for human consumption. It was subsequently revised in 1998 to align with the revised Codex Standard for natural mineral water and to include hygienic practices in line with Codex (CAC/RCP 33- 1985) Code of practice for collecting, processing and marketing of natural mineral waters. The second revision has been undertaken to incorporate five amendments along with the technological developments, check list for hygienic requirements, and consumer requirements.

Indian Standard Drinking water Specification (First Revision)
This standard was originally published in 1983 with the objective of assessing the quality of water resources, and to check the effectiveness of water treatment and supply by the concerned authorities.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived from the following publications:
a) International Standards for Drinking Water issued by World Health Organization, 1984 Geneva; b) Manual of Standards of Quality for Drinking Water Supplies. Indian Council of Medical Research, 1971, New Delhi; and c) Manual on Water Supply and Treatment ( third revision ), Ministry of Urban Development, 1989, New Delhi.
Indian Standard Drinking water Specification (First Revision) Indian Standard Drinking water Specification (First Revision)
IS 10500:1991 IS 10500:1991
The first revision was undertaken to take into account the update information available about the nature and effect of various contaminants as also the new techniques for identifying and determining their concentration and the first revision was published in 1991.
SCOPE
The standard prescribes the requirements for the essential and desirable characteristics required to be tested for ascertaining the suitability of water for drinking purpose.
SCOPE
REQUIREMENTS
The standard mentions the desirable limit and indicates its background. It is recommended that the Desirable limit is to be implemented. Values in excess of those mentioned under Desirable render the water not acceptable, but still may be tolerated in the absence of alternative source but up to the limit indicated under Permissible limit in the absence of alternate source above which the sources will have to rejected.
