Water Report

Who Needs This Service

Restaurants, caterers, food manufacturers, packaged drinking water and beverage units, and any food business applying for or renewing a State or Central FSSAI licence need a water test report.

Businesses that use municipal water, borewell water or treated water should all test, because the licence authority wants proof of potability.

Companies that use water as a key ingredient, such as beverage makers, need to maintain regular testing.

If your water source changes, you should test again.
