National food safety standard -
Hygienic specifications for production
of packing drinking water
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the basic requirements and management criteria for
the water quality monitoring, water source hygienic protection, source water
collection, and the location, facilities, equipment, personnel in the processing,
packaging, storage and transportation of packing drinking water.
This Standard applies to drinking natural mineral water, drinking pure water,
other drinking water.
2 Term and definition
2.1 source water for production
Raw material water for the production of packing drinking water, which may be
source water from a non-public water supply system (surface water or
groundwater) or water from a public water supply system.
3 Water quality monitoring of source water for
production
3.1 When water from public water supply systems and non-public water supply
systems is used as the source water for production (except for drinking natural
mineral water), the source water quality monitoring items are monitored
according to the raw material requirements of GB 19298.
3.2 The source water quality of drinking natural mineral water shall be
monitored according to the raw material requirements of GB 8537.
3.3 When water from non-public water supply systems is used as the source
water for production, the monitoring frequency is at least once every year during
the wet season and the dry season. In the case of special events such as
earthquakes and floods, the number of monitoring shall be increased.
Equipment shall be installed and maintained with effective hygienic protection
measures to avoid pollution to the source water. It shall disinfect in a timely
manner after constructing new collection points (such as wells) near the
collection point, pump repair displacement, or taking other collection
maintenance actions. The water collecting capacity of the collection equipment
shall match the allowable production volume.
5.2.4 Collection and transportation
It shall use closed pipes for transportation to prevent contamination. It shall not
use containers for transportation to different places for filling.
6 Site selection and plant environment
In addition to complying with the specifications of Clause 3 of GB 14881-2013,
if the source water for production is from the surface water or groundwater, the
plant shall be located near the water source where the source water can be
transported through the pipeline.
7 Plant and workshop
In addition to complying with the specifications of Clause 4 of GB 14881-2013,
the following requirements shall also be met.
7.1 The plant and workshop shall have water treatment area, filling protection
area, testing laboratory, packaging area, raw and auxiliary materials and
packaging materials warehouse, and finished goods warehouse.
7.2 When the recyclable containers are used for the production of packing
drinking water, it shall set the inspection and pretreatment area of recyclable
containers separately.
7.3 If the food additives are used in the production process (except gas), the
material burdening (feeding) area shall be set.
7.4 The plant and workshop shall be divided into general work area, quasi-
cleaning work area and cleaning work area. The general work area usually
includes water treatment area, packaging area, warehouse, inspection area of
recyclable containers, etc.; the quasi-cleaning work area usually includes
material burdening (feeding) area, pre-packaging cleaning and disinfection
area, etc.; the filling protection area shall be set in the cleaning work area. The
blowing, filling, and capping (sealing) integrated equipment with self-contained
clean room and clean environment automatic recovery function, and a cleaning
work environment inside may not be located in the cleaning work area.
8.2.5 The filling and capping (sealing) equipment shall be fully automated
control equipment, and it shall not be filled or capped (sealed) manually.
8.2.6 If the recyclable containers are used to produce packing drinking water, it
shall be equipped with external washing equipment, automatic internal washing
and disinfecting equipment, light inspection equipment, automatic filling and
capping (sealing) equipment, cover cleaning or disinfection equipment, coding
equipment, etc. For the production of barreled drinking water, it shall also be
equipped with capping equipment and barrel plastic film wrapping and sealing
equipment.
8.2.7 The internal cleaning and disinfection equipment for empty barrels for
recycle shall be continuous automatic equipment, including at least 10 cleaning
and disinfecting stations such as pre-cleaning, detergent cleaning, disinfectant
cleaning, water rinsing, and water rinsing of finished products (including
draining process), and it shall set reasonable flushing time, pressure, detergent
and disinfectant concentration to ensure the cleaning and disinfection efficacy
of empty barrels.
9 Hygienic management
It shall comply with the specifications of Clause 6 of GB 14881-2013. If the
ozone sterilization is used, the ozone concentration in the workplace air shall
comply with relevant specifications.
10 Food related products
In addition to complying with the specifications of Clause 7 of GB 14881-2013,
the following requirements shall also be met.
10.1 The packaging containers (bottles, barrels, bags), caps and lids that are
