This website provides information on packaged and bottled drinking water (natural mineral, purified and source water).
Analytical data related to waters commercialized in Italy and around the world, together with Italian and International standards and legislation in this sector can be accessed.
The database includes physico-chemical properties, images of labels and information on producers. Completeness of information depends on what is reported on labels, which generally varies from country to country.
Data access is easy: a search can be made by name, geographic area or any of the chemical or physical parameters. Concerning "waters around the world" the name of the country must be selected to display the brands recorded. A search by name is also provided.
Concerning Italian and EU waters the database is updated yearly on the basis of the information published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Furthermore, producers' cooperation allows continuous update of the section dedicated to Italian brands.
The section dedicated to extra-European waters offers an overview of waters commercialized worldwide. Even if information is not updated following the same criteria of exhaustivity and systematicity ensured for Community waters, the parameters required by National laws can be viewed, together with the different ways for representing data in labels.
